No, I don't think this comes from an elliptic curve. This is the  
right way to do it, but it seems as if you've got some of the  
parameters wrong--this should be close to zero:

sage: L.check_functional_equation()
-0.166126027002134

(Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head what the functional  
equation actually is...)

This could probably be done by some clever manipulations of the euler  
product.
