LS V12 Quad Turbo 9.7-Liter Engine Is An Engineering Marvel

What does it take to run a quad-turbo LS based V12 engine? Well, besides all of the custom fabrication to build something like this 9.7-liter monster V12 in the first place, a huge amount of data must be processed to keep the engine running. That’s why engine control brand Haltech is showcasing its engine control units on one of the greatest LS based engines on earth for their traveling booth centerpiece. 

Haltech is an Australia based engine controls company that specializes in empowering car enthusiasts with the latest in engine controls for every level of build. Haltech builds ECUs that are specific to either an engine application or car make and models. Their ECUs are especially helpful for engine swaps and see major popularity for LS Swaps. In an effort to show just how good Haltech ECUs are at controlling any level of LS build the V12 LS Stand engine was born. 

The V12 LS engine was supplied by the team over at Race Cast Engineering who owns V12LS.com. This Australia based team specializes in the art of crafting a V12 from the familiar LS V8 architecture using the latest in 3D sand printing technology. Race Cast Engineering offers three levels of their V12 LS that comes in various stages of completion.
