Thank you for being a part of our community!
Thank you thank you thank you (!) for taking the time to fix so many of them. What a royal pain.All pictures were dead in this thread thanks to tinypic stopping... I'm almost caught up again with re-uploading everything and editing every post I've made. I'll continue later.
are you planning to put airfilters over the stacks?

Regarding the fabrication of not only your toys but your machinery in order to build your toys, I continue to be amazed and impressed. Nicely done, every aspect.

Where he'll be "driving" at 30,000 feet, there's no dust in the air
but many small rocks and stones on the tarmac
Looks killer. I learned a few things after getting the S54 throttle bodies running on my car.
Not sure which ECU you're planning on using but I would strongly recommend running an e-throttle to help make it drive smoothly without having to fiddle with linkage ratios. It also allows you to blend between idle valve and throttle opening to make tip-in and tip-out behavior nice and civilized.
Thanks! I was wondering how this setup was working out for you. I hadn't decided on an ECU yet. I was initially leaning towards just using an MS3pro since I want to run it sequentially, but now I'm leaning more towards a Maxxecu pro. I think that's the way to go then as it supports E-throttle. Those seem the only sort of affordable option that can run a V12 sequentially that I'm aware of. I missed it in your thread, what are you running on yours? One difference between the itbs I'm using and the S54 ones is the throttle valve diameter. The ones I'm running are 42mm in diameter, while the S54 ones are 50mm. That should be a bit more controllable with a mechanical linkeage, but E-throttle is probably a good idea for the blending part.
I'm running a Link G4+ Extreme ECU. Similar specification to the Maxxecu Race. It also supports the e-throttle/idle valve blending strategy that i'm currently using. This is not a function the ECU's have a set strategy for, I simply configured the closed loop idle feed forward table a 3D map with coolant temp on the X axis and 0-5% pedal position on the Y. If you set the e-throttle map to leave the throttles closed from 0-4% pedal it makes for pretty good behavior. I can post some screenshots of my current configuration if you'd like.
I would also strongly recommend using one or two S54 idle valves as they flow quite a bit more air than "normal" idle valves. I can free rev my engine to 4000rpm or so using only the idle valve at 100% duty cycle.
The smaller throttle diameter will definitely help but I can guarantee you will be much happer with the driveability by mixing in some idle duty at low RPM.
Speechless. That engine bay view is incredible
My set-up, having to exchange just one mechanical part for an E-throttle body (BMW X5), controlled by the Maxxecu Race, was pretty simple.
With twelve itb's however...
This car's one of my favorites on the forum.
Sander.... Making progress?
That does indeed make things easier. Do you have some pics of how you did the gas pedal setup in your car?
This thing is unbelievable! I was suuuper excited to see an update for you Sander....and to think it's 700...
Keep it up!
Sander.... How is progress? We're excited
Thanks, looks like an easy solution.Used the E-throttle pedal from Hella with custom bracket.
Thank you! The gold foil is just some random stuff I found on Ebay. No idea how it'll hold up, but so far it seems to stick quite well.nice amazing craftmanship !!! Question. Where did you get the isolating gold foil ?
my converter is super close to the chassis and your idea will work superbly.
take care
