Something a little different for y'all today! When Haltech USA decided to build a display engine it had to be something quite unique, very special and visually appealing. This fire-breathing, quad turbo, V12LS is all those things. Aside from entertaining the masses at various shows and race meets, the engine has also been used as a development and test mule for many upcoming new products - including the NEXUS R5! Enjoy:)
1450hp and an engine like that belongs in a powerboat and the boost to be turned wayy up to at least 20psi ..running on all that cold fresh ocean water should keep the temps down and provide great durability testing
I would like to see it in a 68 impala or the wagon. Those long cars with huge engines just fit so well together. Great job guys,that's insane what ya'll are doing .
I love how it sounds a bit like a Nissan GTR with exhausts out the bonnet. It would be awesome in a Viper with an cross pipe in the middle to even out the pulses, make it sound like a really chunky v12 rather than a really chunky v6.
Either; Holden Ute (Because 'Stralia) Holden VL Commodore (Again... 'Stralia!!!) 4th Gen Camaro C5 or C6 Corvette Z06 Or to piss Rob Dahm off... shoehorn it into an RX7 XDDD
This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to do as a kid. Not necessarily a V12 LS, But automotive experimentation and modification in general. I love it! 😍👍
Well if you do the maths. 700hp NA, 7psi is about half an atmosphere. Knock off a little bit for whatever inefficiency might be there. So I say an even 1000hp.
I'm going to say that since you like talking about old money, then you should do a retro mod. Maybe something cool like a 1967 Pontiac Tempest. Those stacked headlights would definitely make it look unique, and that steel frame will hold the power without any mods. Not to mention there is plenty of space in the engine compartment.
Put it on a trailer. Hitch trailer to a Smart Car. Connect to Smart Car with multi link drive shaft. That is sufficiently stupid, dangerous and fast to get everyone's attention :P
It all depends on what car can fit this engine in. Most modern cars don't have the space for it, which is the reason why Factory 5 is designing their F9R to accept this monster. As much as I would love to see it in new C8, I doubt if the bay is big enough.
I'm guessing a little shy of 1000hp given it's only 7psi for now. I'm hoping you guys crank it up to 15-20psi. As for what car it should be in? Obviously Yaris Hilton. Behind the driver and driving the rear wheels of course.
I wonder why the exhaust to turbos wasn’t piped according to firing order? R1, L2, R5 -> turbo #1 L4, R3, L1 -> turbo #2 R6, L5, R2 -> turbo #3 L3, R4, L6 -> turbo #5 Is that why the motor seemed to sputter at time stamp 6:55?
Thank you for the early morning PORN guys still have goosebumps all over ☺☺☺ and that engine would be great in a Pontiac GTO ( the Judge ) keep up the great work guys.
Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level. Video states N/A engine produces around 700hp. With ~7 psi of boost (or an additional 50% of pressure), boosted output should be around 1100hp.
I have been looking at an Elite 2500+ for this year. Now I'm going to wait until the R5 comes out!!! That looks awesome! My guess for HP on turbo's is 1100hp.
He’s prolly a realist, an r34 can barely fit a straight 6 length wise as it is. That v12 would be hanging out the front grill and you’d litterally have to change the whole car and the handeling would be absolute shyt. At that point, what’s the point? Engine swaps are probably the most overrated oversimplified things people spout on TH-cam.
honestly through something like this with it being a v12 throat in a Lamborghini or something like that those designed for it make an American Italian supercar and power I am guessing roughly 1200
i think to be an American supercar, you gotta have an American motor... when you have more than 4cyls on a bank, it does sound amazing tho, my truck brings a smile to my face every time it lights the tires. and it's American powered.
I reckon you’d prolly have to recess the firewall a bit, but chuck it in an HQ Monaro. It’d cost a pretty penny, but it’d be worth it to piss off the purists for hacking up an old Holden. Plus, it’d still be going in a GM car, and you’d be sticking with the Aussie theme. Amazing engine and VCU fellas, just amazing. 🤙🏼
If you can make it fit in something mid engined like the new vette or older nsx or mr2 or some lotus chassis... That would be awesome. You wouldn't be grip limited at that point as Engineering Explained points out in his vid about why the newer vette can be faster with less hp. Plus there is the chassis dynamics stuff that impacts ride quality and handling where mid engined set ups also tend to be better.
After recently seeing a 70's Firebird from a shop in CA with crazy HP; I like the idea of first putting it in something classic. So how about using the body of a 55-57 Nomad, but make it a mid-engine. Maybe use the trans-axle from the new Corvette. May require extending the wheelbase for such a massive engine. But it would sure help weight distribution. If I win the lotto, you can bet I will request some shop build it.
I'm gonna make a guess of around 1050hp, and I'd love to see it in a late 70's two door chevette hatchback. A friend of mine had one with a 454 big block, I can only imagine what your motor could make that car do!
What a wicked engine, as for my 2cents worth put it in a mid 80's station wagon as a rear engine'd hot rod with stupid power to weight ratio, street legal of course.
Well at 7 psi it should add another 50% in power. I am more curious about fuel and air distribution. I think with an intake like the Holley Hi Ram with the A2W intercooler between the base and the lid and 4 throttle bodies feeding right off the turbos would solve any airflow and fueling issues, remain compact for packing in a chassis, look trick as hell and with such a short path to pressurize off the turbo near instant response.
800kW. Put it in a 300zx z32. That car is so filled with early 90s computer tech, including the rear wheel steer, I’d love to see Haltech control it all. No doubt Haltech could do it in a much less convoluted way.
Let's see... mild cams, Haltech ECU, very nice unrestricted exhaust set up, inter-cooler, I reckon around 1310 HP should be about right (assuming good airflow) through that fat inter-cooler!
I’d guess around 950HP. You guys should contact TAVARISH he wanted to make a custom Lamborghini inspired supercar. This would be perfect match and great for both channel/company
needs to go in a jag xjs. if I was rich I would commission one to have it as a hot v, really triggers me to have the spark plug wires next to the hot exhausts. I like the hemi but the valve gear makes me sad.
Now just need to find a good AWD Car that can not only handle the Power but also be able to put the power down on road. See already many cars with 1000HP LS but rear wheel drive with wheels spinning only putting down maybe 500hp to tarmac
Im going to say 867hp lol and i cant even think of what to drop it in.. long and wide engine bay is def needed.. a corvette or old camaro.. something GM, US or Australia. Transmissions would bolt up.. pretty much most of the work would be at the engine bay and hopefully no tunnel issues
Definitely something Australian, like a hq monaro, hq 1-ton or ute tho a hq statesman is all class. If you want something different it would have to be a hq -hz panelvan overlander to make use of all that power and turn heads e everywhere it goes.
I'd think it makes around 1150hp and I think itd go well in a c5 or maybe a c7 just to bring the ls back to the vette with a twist I would say put it in a c8 but I highly doubt it would fit
With a PR of 1.5, each turbo should be pushing about 30 lbs/minute, so about 260-300 hp each. Depending on the tune and dyno loading, I'd be guessing 1100-1200 hp depending on compression ratio. My exact guess is 1158 hp... and if that turns out to be correct, I'd like my one wish to be granted for a sponsored Haltech Elite 2500 please :-D LOL
1130 HP at the flywheel, a car it will fit in a70's GM American wagon or Aussie version of the same or an Aussie ute with a big enough engine bay , my guess the only transmission the will handle that will be a 2 speed drag built power glide
This is a really good example of amazing engineering, teamwork, blood, sweat and tears can do. This would have to be one of my most favourite custom engine builds to date. I have one question though, since you guys have built a V12LS, would it be possible for you guys to design and engineer a V16LS?
It’s gotta be in the 1500 ball park. 4 turbos, with that much displacement. We’re in aircraft engine territory here. It’s gotta be fitted to a formula off-road, Icelandic style. you can make it fit and show it off. Ye-ha.
Can u make it camless n crank less and add variable piston displacement b turbo lag control for the next project may be dropping the weight 30% n increasing the boost range on the turbos
Drop it in my Ford FPV Boss 290 BA GT, I’m in Brisbane QLD... call me anytime lol. Beautiful looking motor, a work of art and made in Australia 🇦🇺👍🏼😀 oh I guess 950hp
7 psi is equal to approximately 0.5 bar. Half of 0.5 is 0.25. 700 hp + 25% = 875 hp 700 hp + 50% = 1050 hp I believe it is putting around 920 hp though.

Can you get that with a flat plane crank? Because I bet that would sound crazy good.
1760 hp. Needs to go in an equally long vehicle. 50's Cadillac.
You guys are legends
Drop it in a black Ford Falcon XB GT. The last of the V12 Quad Turbo Interceptors. A Super Pursuit Special.
980hp. It's gotta go in a Brown VN Executive Wagon with mismatched hubcaps and a white, front passenger door.
Good luck finding one of those in Kentucky!
Correct answer
I would like to see it in a 68 impala or the wagon. Those long cars with huge engines just fit so well together. Great job guys,that's insane what ya'll are doing .
Amen
"Will this fit my Honda"
*annoyed Turbo Yoda death stare intensifies*
Looks like someone else has done the same thing. Oh well.
*glares in Turbo Yoda*
well...yes..anything can fit in a honda if your brave enough to fabricate A LOT.
With enough cutting, yes
@@chriswright6068 Cut twice measure once. Thats all ya gotta do.
I love how it sounds a bit like a Nissan GTR with exhausts out the bonnet. It would be awesome in a Viper with an cross pipe in the middle to even out the pulses, make it sound like a really chunky v12 rather than a really chunky v6.
Miata ftw
You put a guard on the turbos to keep the turbos safe from fingers
40Hp short of what you want..............................................
Be realistic, it is going to be 1hp short of what they want, and they will spend many hours trying to figure it out.
Depending on the camshaft, maybe 950-1,050hp at the crank on 7psi of boost. That would be a great swap for a Cadillac XLR.
Thats what it is with no boost
*in Plankton's voice*
"Yesss....YESSSSSSS!!!!"
Either;
Holden Ute (Because 'Stralia)
Holden VL Commodore (Again... 'Stralia!!!)
4th Gen Camaro
C5 or C6 Corvette Z06
Or to piss Rob Dahm off... shoehorn it into an RX7 XDDD
@Tsrif Tsal That's what fabrication is for ;)
Just because it won't fit a stock frame don't mean you can't *make* it fit...
@@souranis Or a '68 Stingray.
Put it in a Ute but in the back
@@zackspreitzer2872 that would be awesome lmao
@Tsrif Tsal thats why he said "shoehorn" it in. Implying that fabrication was mandatory not optional.
1069 hp and it doesn’t matter what you put it in it’s going to be a good time 👍
1100, quad turbos all running at good efficiency. Could make huge power when turned up, and I think you owe it to the community to TURN IT UP
This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to do as a kid. Not necessarily a V12 LS, But automotive experimentation and modification in general. I love it! 😍👍
700 na, ima guess somewhere around 900 hp on 7 psi, and yall should shove it into a miata to make the ultimate "ls swap"
Erm... In this case, I think a driver seat relocation is in order if you want to keep the original look...
@Tsrif Tsal you make me feel sad I was daydreaming one of those for my NA miata 😢.
Ps: Do you think could it fit into a pontiac solstice 🤔❓
Well if you do the maths. 700hp NA, 7psi is about half an atmosphere. Knock off a little bit for whatever inefficiency might be there. So I say an even 1000hp.
imagine seeing 4 turbos sticking out of the hood of an old muscle car, freaking awesome
I'm going to say that since you like talking about old money, then you should do a retro mod. Maybe something cool like a 1967 Pontiac Tempest. Those stacked headlights would definitely make it look unique, and that steel frame will hold the power without any mods. Not to mention there is plenty of space in the engine compartment.
Im gunna say 900hp
And an old caddy would be dope
67hp
Toyota Yaris!
Put it on a trailer. Hitch trailer to a Smart Car. Connect to Smart Car with multi link drive shaft.
That is sufficiently stupid, dangerous and fast to get everyone's attention :P
Lovely. This and Gale Banks' "Killing a Duramax" videos really butter my croissant. Hon hon hon
Whistlindiesel also has a video destroying a duramax
It all depends on what car can fit this engine in. Most modern cars don't have the space for it, which is the reason why Factory 5 is designing their F9R to accept this monster. As much as I would love to see it in new C8, I doubt if the bay is big enough.
Those hex meshes are blocking 50% of your turbo's intake -_-, do we guess with them on or off :D
beautiful work! put it in a viper please!
It needs to go in a good AWD car. \
no way rear wheel drive will even get down more than 1500HP with dragtyres unless its a funny car.
I'm guessing a little shy of 1000hp given it's only 7psi for now. I'm hoping you guys crank it up to 15-20psi.
As for what car it should be in? Obviously Yaris Hilton. Behind the driver and driving the rear wheels of course.
Put it in a viper it will fit and im gonna say 930-960 crank on 7 psi
I wonder why the exhaust to turbos wasn’t piped according to firing order?
R1, L2, R5 -> turbo #1
L4, R3, L1 -> turbo #2
R6, L5, R2 -> turbo #3
L3, R4, L6 -> turbo #5
Is that why the motor seemed to sputter at time stamp 6:55?
Runs about 1400hp
And would go nicely in the Jaguar E type that Chip Foose built for Sema.
Or a tubbed XA Coupe 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Definitely needs the turbo outlet pipes to come together into an x pipe of sorts, make it screeaaaam.
I can't wait for the dyno video. If it was 520kw and will be at 7psi, generalized math(s) should suggest that's 780kw in boosted form.
Yep
1250HP would probably be awesome in a Factory Five GTM or the new F9R that was prototyped with the V12LS...lol
Thank you for the early morning PORN guys still have goosebumps all over ☺☺☺ and that engine would be great in a Pontiac GTO ( the Judge ) keep up the great work guys.
We always wanted to put one in a Judge and get the decals changed form "The Judge" to "V12 Judge" in the same font.
And it would look awesome, and sound freaking great 🤩🤩🤩 it would be an awesome project so in the meantime I'll just dream 😁😁😁
Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level. Video states N/A engine produces around 700hp. With ~7 psi of boost (or an additional 50% of pressure), boosted output should be around 1100hp.
I always liked the V12 Top Secret Supra. Should make the American Top Secret C5 Vette!
I have been looking at an Elite 2500+ for this year. Now I'm going to wait until the R5 comes out!!! That looks awesome!
My guess for HP on turbo's is 1100hp.
This would look nice in my 90' Cherokee XJ
Easier on the rear springs as well.
Let's break the internet and drop it into an R34.

I remember looking up Chevy V12s awhile ago and seeing this motor. If I could find a 4 door 1966 Chevy II this is what I'd want in it.

Tuned for E85,1250 HP
In My 22' Schiada V-Drive with Art Carr TH400 Trans
I’m going to say 1147hp and just for fits and giggles a Holden ute simply because that sounds like the perfect home for such an awesome looking setup.
I saw Kyle from 1320 do a clip on this V12 LS
800kW. Put it in a 300zx z32. That car is so filled with early 90s computer tech, including the rear wheel steer, I’d love to see Haltech control it all. No doubt Haltech could do it in a much less convoluted way.
Definitely a sleeper pickup!! Who would think that would be in an old beater Silverado!!
It makes 1050hp if you are using same cam, torque is going to be huge !
put it to 1950s chevy dually tow truck
Let's see... mild cams, Haltech ECU, very nice unrestricted exhaust set up, inter-cooler, I reckon around 1310 HP should be about right (assuming good airflow) through that fat inter-cooler!
I reckon you would be pretty close with that estimation, I was thinking 1250-1350 because it doesn't have dual intake manifold or Interchiller
This is crazy cool. Nice work, Haltech.
I’d guess around 950HP. You guys should contact TAVARISH he wanted to make a custom Lamborghini inspired supercar. This would be perfect match and great for both channel/company
This is crazy and i need a raise
675kw is my guess. I do wonder what the flow is like on those ports?
1850 ft/lb torque at 5,200 rpm- 1475 hp at 5,800 rpm ! i guess this amount - i have a smaller type turbo but these all 4 could do 1,880 hp.
just 1 of those turbos on a 2.2 litre celica will give 400 - 430 hp
needs to go in a jag xjs. if I was rich I would commission one to have it as a hot v, really triggers me to have the spark plug wires next to the hot exhausts. I like the hemi but the valve gear makes me sad.
1465hp
Holden ute with the the suspension from the new Corvette.
It should be around 1200-1400hp. Build a superlite coupe and drop it in. Could make a great series for youtube+ it would be a great show car!
Put it in a Papa 51 Thunder Mustang, it'd be perfect as a Reno race aircraft.
This is wat they should have put in the C8 corvette.this would have put the Corvette on a whole new level
Now just need to find a good AWD Car that can not only handle the Power but also be able to put the power down on road.
See already many cars with 1000HP LS but rear wheel drive with wheels spinning only putting down maybe 500hp to tarmac
Im going to say 867hp lol and i cant even think of what to drop it in.. long and wide engine bay is def needed.. a corvette or old camaro.. something GM, US or Australia. Transmissions would bolt up.. pretty much most of the work would be at the engine bay and hopefully no tunnel issues
what's the head flow like on this engine?
This engine is unreal and sexy af, I'm guessing this beast has to be putting down upwards of 900+hp
I’d love to see it in a shorty 4x4 van.
It'd be a long shot, but I'd like to see it stuffed into an ultima gtr or something mid engined
Definitely something Australian, like a hq monaro, hq 1-ton or ute tho a hq statesman is all class. If you want something different it would have to be a hq -hz panelvan overlander to make use of all that power and turn heads e everywhere it goes.
I'd think it makes around 1150hp and I think itd go well in a c5 or maybe a c7 just to bring the ls back to the vette with a twist I would say put it in a c8 but I highly doubt it would fit
With a PR of 1.5, each turbo should be pushing about 30 lbs/minute, so about 260-300 hp each. Depending on the tune and dyno loading, I'd be guessing 1100-1200 hp depending on compression ratio. My exact guess is 1158 hp... and if that turns out to be correct, I'd like my one wish to be granted for a sponsored Haltech Elite 2500 please :-D LOL
This engine should go into the C8 Zora Edition!! All wheel drive 1700 HP 1100 ft lbs of TQ.
C5 vette needs this
Awesome setup, FD RX7 would do it justice.
1130 HP at the flywheel, a car it will fit in a70's GM American wagon or Aussie version of the same or an Aussie ute with a big enough engine bay , my guess the only transmission the will handle that will be a 2 speed drag built power glide
Probably in the realm of 1150-1250. Personally, I think it would fit nicely in a Chevrolet Chevette.
That will go nicely in the back seat of my Hyundai i20. Might need bigger brakes tho.
put it in a hotrod lincoln sloper two door ! show quality ! tilt frontend !to show the GLORY !
This is a really good example of amazing engineering, teamwork, blood, sweat and tears can do. This would have to be one of my most favourite custom engine builds to date.

That's probably a question for the guys at v12ls.com who designed and bui8lt the block etc.
Where oh where should that monster go?
Drop it in a Hq monaro/tonner or something old scool
That in a boot/trunk of a hatchback 🚗🤩😂 Mini, Fiesta, Renault 5 turbo.
Salvage and rebuild a lambo mercy, diablo or aventardor using dt monster of an engine.. a million likes all the way from S.A
Gonna need an old Cadillac to shoe horn the thing in.
It’s gotta be in the 1500 ball park. 4 turbos, with that much displacement. We’re in aircraft engine territory here. It’s gotta be fitted to a formula off-road, Icelandic style. you can make it fit and show it off. Ye-ha.
Can u make it camless n crank less and add variable piston displacement b turbo lag control for the next project may be dropping the weight 30% n increasing the boost range on the turbos

Perfect all round engine
I say put it in a viper🤷♂️ you never really see any crazy viper builds around
I mean, I've got this '67 Dodge Monaco that it would look pretty slick in... ;)
Drop it in my Ford FPV Boss 290 BA GT, I’m in Brisbane QLD... call me anytime lol. Beautiful looking motor, a work of art and made in Australia 🇦🇺👍🏼😀 oh I guess 950hp
Power guess: Its definitely got more power than a Prius :)
Connect a driveshaft and differential to the cart you currently roll it around on, that way people will stop suggesting what you should put it in
1180hp @6.5krpm and 1450nm I’m guessing roughly
7 psi is equal to approximately 0.5 bar. Half of 0.5 is 0.25.
700 hp + 25% = 875 hp
700 hp + 50% = 1050 hp
I believe it is putting around 920 hp though.
I do find it hard to believe that 4 turbos produce only 7 combined psi
