The Leader in Diesel Performance
Gale Banks explains why Banks Ram-Air Transmission Pans use die casting, not sand casting. Die casting creates a stronger, smoother, and more precise product, crucial for performance and durability. This video explains the difference between the two methods. Full video transcript below.
Gale Banks recounts twin-turbocharging Jay Leno’s tank car, powered by a 30-liter Continental V12 Hemi. The Banks team doubled the horsepower to 1,600 and improved fuel economy.
Stock Allison 1000 transmission pans don’t allow a full drain. The Banks Ram-Air trans pan features a magnetic drain plug at the lowest point for complete drainage and lowers fluid temps with its Ram-Air Scoop design.
Traditional boost gauges only measure air pressure, while engines rely on Manifold Air Density (MAD). The Banks iDash measures MAD, considering pressure, temperature, and humidity for a more accurate reading.
Gale Banks proves it’s possible to improve airflow through a pipe by perfecting exit conditions using rocket nozzle technology in the Monster-Ram intake elbow. Testing shows it outperforms even a pipe with a diffuser.
Gale Banks revealed the 2011 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke’s Garrett turbo, featuring a double-sided compressor wheel. Turbo failures in 2011-2012 models were due to weak ceramic ball bearings.
A breakdown of turbo surge by Gale Banks, a leading expert in diesel performance. Learn how to identify and avoid this destructive phenomenon in your diesel truck.
The boost tubes ( charge air cooler pipes) on your Diesel pickup were designed to move pressurized air through the intake system while keeping sound to a minimum
Banks Power’s CoolRunner Oil Pan improves cooling and prevents debris buildup in 2017-2025 Duramax engines. Shop performance parts for your diesel truck!
Gale Banks explains how the patented negative-backpressure system on Banks Power products can significantly reduce backpressure in diesel engines. By lowering backpressure before and after the turbine, this innovative technology unlocks hidden horsepower and improves overall engine performance.
