Making a V12 ITB intake for my Murcielago - LP640 Project Pt 2

[@icantthnkof1]

A Lamborghini platform An A8 manual trans E46 M3 throttle bodies And custom exhaust made by a company that makes them for F1.... Absolutley amazing, Craig!!! I see you were a bit stressed with modifying the exhaust, but you nailed it. They may be a master of one skill, but your quality in many fields seem to be at the same level! Good shite!

[@driftworks]

👍Thanks

[@sxrory]

I could listen to Craig all day. This is beyond epic, you're not supposed to touch a murci especially a 640, but this is so much more than the generic twin tubs lambo gig that goes on.... Well done all involved 👍

[@timcampbell5141]

Nice work. Have you made any decisions on trumpet lengths or are you going to try a few when it comes to dyno time?

[@driftworks]

I've still got to measure the standard intake runners. I'll just aim to have them the same length & see how that goes.

@Driftworks what tool cart is that @4:32? Is it snap on and what is the specific color spec?

[@ryanbarbolt3691]

This is fucking awesome.

[@jonathangibson5606]

So sick

[@drkduck5624]

How much hp did the ITBs add? Did you have to do an ECU tune?

[@driftworks]

The ECU's were replaced to make this work. The car made 686hp on the dyno. More is possible, but power was not my main goal.

[@PH1N0]

Do you own a TVR Cerbera? :o not sure but I think it's standing right in front of the shop at 3:16

[@driftworks]

It's one of Craigs customer cars.

[@PH1N0]

@@driftworks oh cool thanks for your answer!

[@PaulyRenzeth]

So.. Trumpets or nah?.

[@driftworks]

It has to have them to work properly. I'm just struggling to decide what length to try first as I have to have them made & it's expensive.

[@oscarzt1652]

what engine are those throttles from? is it an S54B32

Great work. New subscription 👍

[@deiviy]

daaaaamn i wanna hear it

[@driftworks]

And me! I'll remember my ear defenders that day.

[@lopon12]

so what's the advantage of throttle bodies?

[@danielssonsgarage]

Sound, rev response

[@projectgz]

A lot more hp

[@csm101000]

Are you using a sprint booster? Does it make a difference on a lambo?

[@driftworks]

I've just had to research what that is as I'd never heard of it. But no, the ECU will manage all that itself. I'll be able to map how quick I want the throttle response in normal & sport mode if all goes to plan. Plus we're not using a BMW pedal so it wouldn't work.

[@stevenwest1494]

What's the point in Independent Throttle bodies? I mean, if it had an advantage, why wouldn't have Lamborghini put one on there as standard?

[@driftworks]

Power, response, control, sound. It should have had them from the factory. The RGT & RSV race Murcielagos had ITBs.

[@Vonstroke]

Believe it or not, but mostly because they're much more expensive.

[@chrisg4rr377]

Seems like a lot of work to not go with roller barrel throttles.

Not really. Roller barrel throttles aren't found for £200 on an E46M3.

I did think about it. I have a Pectel SQ6M12 in my V10 E46M3 from KMS Racing engines. But we've gone a different way for this car that will hopefully allow much more control & allow the standard dash to work (fingers crossed)

[@matthewgorgoglione5492]

🕹️🏆😎👍

[@pebblez_]

Yo

[@paouvous]

So an E46 M3 has stock ITB but a Murcielago does not? Really?

[@timothybayliss6680]

It's mostly inconsequential. The plenum volume is pretty small on the v12 and it's actually easier to resonance tune with only one throttle body because there doesn't need to be a 70mm tall and strait section in each runner. There also isn't a throttle shaft in each runner disrupting the wave signal. Dyno before and after will probably give close to the same average torque. This is a ridiculous amount of work to change the way a car sounds. A street car with factory camshafts would be lucky to get 10 to up top from this, a fully tuned engine with ported heads, bigger cams and headers will make a lot more because the factory intake has become the point a point of restriction.

[@TigeroL42]

3.30 torching with latex gloves, what the fuck is this guy doing?

[@driftworks]

Craig always gets called out for this in our videos. His response is he's never been given a decent recent not to, and has never had a problem with it.

[@aarongivens4530]

loses 50hp...

[@driftworks]

Is that your estimate?
