First of all thanks to all people on this forum for the inspiration and good ideas.
I decided to make a new bench and use some parts from the old one.
The frame and chambers is in steel easier to seal than any wood material (I am not a friend of wood it is impossible to weld and always get to short when it is cut).
It is an intake/exhaust bench with two fixed orifices that gives me three ranges.
Still same 12 motor setup but now as a module separated from chambers.
I did also learn the hard way that ametech blowers is rated at 60Hz and we use 50Hz
So I did lose 20% of rated capacity.
Next step is to make a new blower box with 16 blowers that will put me over 1000cfm
Still use FP1 and now with Air Flow Control Valve.

First of all thanks everybody for the nice words

Now I have updated the bench with a motor controler type of thing.
I did find a DIY dimmer that could handle 220V/2200W I did put three of them in a box one per motor and it work.
The dimer whas $15 per kit in sweden.
The bench mow makes 700cfm @28"
The next step is a new motorbox with 15 motors the goal is 1000 cfm
