Unlocking Power and Efficiency: How the Banks Sidewinder Turbocharger Transformed Ford’s Early Non-Turbo Diesels
In the early 1980s, Ford’s non-turbo diesel trucks offered decent fuel economy but lacked the power of gasoline engines. Banks Power saw an opportunity and introduced the Sidewinder, a bolt-on turbo system that transformed these trucks. The Sidewinder delivered significant power gains (up to 86 hp), improved fuel efficiency by 33%, and reduced exhaust temperatures. It also boosted performance at high altitudes and decreased transmission wear. The Sidewinder’s success led to a version for the 7.3L engine, proving that performance and efficiency can go hand-in-hand. Even today, the Sidewinder remains a viable option for owners of these classic Ford trucks.
Banks Power had a successful showing at the 2019 SEMA Show, showcasing its latest products, including the Ram-Air Rear Differential Cover and the upcoming PedalMonster throttle booster.
