It started..... BL**DY ECU's
Will be at Newark camping. Hope to see the car or if not just have a chat.
Paul
Right after trying and failing to get the engine to start well apart from a 2 second run I have been on the phone to the USA.
Have found out that the ecu is controled by the cars anti theft alarm system so therfore wont run at all without it.
Thats the bad news.
Now the good news.
Have spoken to a company that can remove the need for the anti theft system from the ECU and remove a few other bits for me that i dont need and ship
it over.
Now all that needs to happen is for it to arrive before we leave to come to the show Friday. It should happen but were not sure yet although the guy
in the USA has said he will get it done asap and sent hopfully today.
So everyone cross ya fingers for us

Car will be there no matter what i just want the new ecu so you can hear it
This is almost enough to make me actually go to Newark!
Heard of Megasquirt?
Cheers,
James
Funny you should say that i have a megasquirt but i dont think ill use it on the v10 pmsl
You only in Surry James you will hear it start lol 
This mornings great news is that the new ecu will arrive with us by midday wednesday.
We called a company in the USA called DC Performance told them what i needed he knew exactly why the engine started and stopped and knew exactly what
to do to correct it and has done a few other things to the ecu for me like remove the need for the 2nd set of O2 sensors and the skip shift function,
it stops you from using 2nd and 3rd gears when driving slowly there is a solonoid in the gearbox, and it has a rather more aggressive fuel and spark
map loaded 
So with any luck we will have a video uploaded wednesday evening with the engine firing up for all to see

Thats it GONE lol
I've just had a thought, and then got out my calculator. 500 BHP in a luego is probably enough for 190 MPH 
, more withough a windscreen
. I hope you've got good tyres.
well if you consider that a std viper will do 190 mph and weighs twice as much as the luego will ..................

I've just had a megasquirt!
That - my friends - is gonna be insane....
Thats a nice sound.
Now DONT get carried away, as I didn see any water connections or a Radiator there. You dont want to bugger up that lovely lump before you get it on
the road do you.
I'm Green with Envy!!
Tempory radiator soultion will be in place for the weekend
I actually saw (and heard) this - THING - at Newark today. In fact, I think that most people on the site heard it every 10 minutes!
"Loud" isn't quite the right word for it... I was standing 20 metres away and could feel the vibration through my feet...
Though it did attract a huge number of people every time it was run - men, women, kids, dogs, everyone flocked around.
Going to be a scary beast...
John & Mark its time for you to decide.
Is your car going to be a Bike Engined Car
OR
A Car Engined Car.
Although your engine came out of a Viper, they did also use that engine in a bike.
So you decide.
Judging by the looks of lust that both John and Mark had as the Spitty flew over with its 12ltr Merlin engine I think we should start worrying about
seeing a 'PEC' in due course - and no, I wouldn't want to press the button (unless on a 30m remote cable!!!!)
It was in the car first so ill stick with car engine car thanks.
Neil hmmmmmmmmm dont go givine me ideas i could make it work (probably!!)
What a reaction off everyone tho can't believe every time it was started there was just a huge crowd of prople swampping it lol
Where's the car gone??

We'd need a V12 as well.
Clive get that Jag stripped and get that engine fitted.
v12 did some one say mmmm just getting tape messure out to see i it will fit
Well seeing as the v12 is not that much diff to the v10 size wise it will fit now that would be a sight a 4,6,8,10&12 cylinder versions no one
else could say they have ever done that before.
Will ppl please stop giving me ideas iv'e already looked for a cheap v12 jag pmsl
i think everyone has missed an engine here...
How about the VW/Audi W12 engine?
or, the Vauxhall 3 cylinder jobbie at the other end.
Well if you are going THAT silly then someone needs to do one based on a 2CV as well.

i knew a guy building a kit car from a 2cv. Said the front suspension was F1 inspired...

Oh god no just me pedal box!!!!
never never
So thats the car!!!!!! I was right next to it when it fired up, i didnt know he was going to start it and it made me jump
Ref BEC / CEC etc, surely this is technically a TEC
I have to say that even without a proper exhaust it did sound very nice indeed. Do you have shares in a tyre company? or indeed a diff company?????
Once its on the road i have a feeling we wont see it much..................... due to the clouds of smoke it will leave behind
Defo a good project. Keep up the good work.
Diff will take it fine tyres well maybe we will have to sort out some shares in a company lol.
