So I know you don't probably need validation from some random viewer, but for whatever it's worth, I really like your content. Your channel embodies that which I think KZread should be all about. Maybe some day I can shake your hand and say "thank you".

I was just thinking yesterday that we hadn't heard from you in a while! Glad to see you're still at it. Looking good!

I promise I'm not going down anyone's chimney in the effort to make videos. I appreciate the support though!

This is awesome, but you know what’d make it next level? Variable length runners. Have another set of trumpets mounted on a plate above the current trumpets, with a solenoid/actuator to lift the whole plate off and allow the air to take the shorter path again.

@ArneChristianRosenfeldt

I hate the edge and leaks they create. Give me a good, wet double clutch instead. A full shiny trumpet with valves would be great though.

Welcome back Wesley, looking fit my dude!

Thanks! More to come, I’m excited also to work on it!

I accidentally stumbled across your videos from a KZread reel and Holly crap. What you’re doing is incredible. That V12 sounds like an old F1 car from back when they sounded like race cars, it’s music to my ears. I’m excited to see the project advance and hear your little one liners. Thanks for sharing it with the world.

Hello Wesley Nice to see you working again on your project.

honestly love how informative u are even if u fade out of existence for months at a time

I’m so glad you’re back!! Awesome project!

That thing looks and sounds SICK!!! Great work!!

Looking good Wesley! Nice to see of my favorite engines getting some proper ITBs!

Very nice work on the ITB's. They are a very neat looking solution.

Thanks, Wesley. Out of this world, as usual!

Quality content as always Wesley! Looking forward to the next instalment!

Awesome work. Great looking setup.

11:41 a couple of those trumpets are loose - they leap up a bit when it starts up. Perhaps glue them in so you don't lose them on the track? Glorious sound!

Love this! I'm obsessed the M120 series of engines and the sound of them in their different guises, especially in a later Zonda.

Can’t wait for the next video! Really nice work you’re doing!

I'm glad you came back on today! May the force be with you

Always love your videos, well worth the wait (take as long as you need brother)

great engineering skills sir - loving the velocity stacks forming tool.....clever thinking

Great work, this came out beautiful, love the video.

Seeing the brass, the aluminium and the black nylon parts all together it reminded me of Pagani. Love what you create and how you do it. About once a month is great for me.

I'm from France and was regularely checking your channel waiting for some news. Always some really impressive work, and I also appreciate your sense of humour.

Another really top notch video Wesley. I particularly enjoyed the machining sequences, and how you edit them to sync with the music, very satisfying. I appreciate the challenging nature of what you are doing here, yet you make it look easy, and take it in stride, with good humor 👍🏻

Videos from are always so awesome to see on my feed. i always drop everything I do to make sure they get watched

Hey man, fucking love this project and glad to see more videos. I totally agree that a good video is better than an on time video, but given the necessarily large gaps between them, and the implicitly large amount of progress made, I think they would benefit a lot from more frequent and detailed recap/explanation segments. I don't think I'm alone in saying I like hearing you talk about the project, even though you seem to shy away from it more and more in recent vids. If I wanted to watch build comps I'd go watch grind hard plumbing or something, I'm here because the engineering is really cool. Either way keep it up and I'm excited to see what's next 👍

I think the best part about this is the price of all this information is $100... youre providing hours of R&D for the cost of a nice dinner for 2. Insane. Liked, Subbed.

@WesleyKagan

Thanks! I even feel bad about the $100, but it’s if nothing more a nice round number

I think that is pretty sick! I continue to look forward to future videos.

Good to see you back, youre looking great

Yes! Thank you for an update!

Great work Wesley! Can't wait to see the next upload!

That sounds SICK! Can't wait to see what the bodywork is going to look like.

i regret not being able to watch this sooner and envy your work space and work itself. keep up the great job!

So great to be able to realise your ideas in working form. Go you!

Love the updates. If it helps, i think videos being a bit more specific might help. Like this could have been one vid on getting the car started and another on going over the throttle bodies. I know that’d take more time to edit, but just a thought. Again, always stoked to see what you’ve been working on and your sense of humor is F-ing gold man. Keep it up!

Yeah, I've thought about it- I have this weird thing where I really like to make a video when I feel I've made enough progress on a project- Also, by putting everything into one it limits the "I need to make content" crunch a little. I'm trying to find a nice balance, and I think hindsight 20/20 two ten minute videos, one last month and one this month, would've been better.

@Skooby59

I’d just love to hear so much more detail about each step! For example - those trumpets are amazing and I’d love to hear more about the process and the forming tool etc! You just smashed them out and breezed over the success like you’d just made beans on toast! Dude! These are mad skills and we’d love to learn from you more, so please spell out the technique more for us trying to cling onto your coat tails!! 😊 Amazing video - just wish it was nearer to 3hrs long! 😅 Thanks dude! (Going back to watch it again 3 more times!)

Great job! It's really coming along! And always glad to support Charity! 😉

This is so cool, can't wait to see the car!

great work wesley, sorry if you covered it and i missed it, but you should consider peening the screws holding the butterflies in so you don't accidentally pioneer a metal injection system

Love seeing your videos when they pop into my feed but don’t feel obligated to release videos on a certain schedule. Film, edit and release videos whenever you want.
