The most complex LS Engine?
How do you run a quad-turbo LS based V12? It takes a lot of data processing to keep this engine running, in addition to all the custom fabrication required to make a 9.7-liter V12, Engine control brand Haltech will be displaying its engine control units on one the most LS-based engines to make it their booth centerpiece.
Haltech, an engine control company based in Australia, specializes in providing car enthusiasts with the most up-to-date engine controls for all levels of build. Haltech makes ECUs for specific engine applications or cars. They are popular for engine swaps, and have a huge following for LS Swaps. The V12 LS Stand engine was created to demonstrate how Haltech ECUs can control any level of LS build.
Race Cast Engineering, which owns V12LS.com, supplied the V12 LS engine. The team is based in Australia and specializes in crafting a V12 using the familiar LS V8 architecture. They also use the most recent 3D sandprinting technology. Race Cast Engineering offers three levels to their V12 LS, each with different stages of completion. This top-of-the-line V12 LS includes Haltech’s Engine Management Units, which are the heart of this complex operation.
The existing V12 crate engine was modified by Race Cast Engineering to add four Garrett turbochargers. This really shows Race Cast Engineering’s V12 engineering and Haltech’s engine control capabilities. Their talented teams couldn’t just keep it stock so they custom fitted four Garrett GT3682R turbochargers. Vibrant provided their clamping and connecting system to help put together the complex setup. This was then handed over to Haltech’s skilled fabricator.
Although Haltech has not yet dynoed their latest creation, they are open to receiving suggestions on power output. It would be a wager of 1,680 horsepower, but how much power do you think a quad-turbo 9.7 liter V12 produces on the dyno.
