The Leader in Diesel Performance
In 1978, Gale Banks and his team were contracted by the NHTSA to develop the Large Research Safety Vehicle (LRSV). This innovative vehicle featured a turbocharged Volvo B21 engine with electronic fuel injection and O2 sensing, demonstrating that performance and fuel efficiency could coexist. The LRSV project showcased Banks’ forward-thinking approach to automotive technology.
Want to unlock the full potential of your unique ride? Unlike PhilAm, who customized his Hyundai Tiburon with a powerful supercharged engine, many car enthusiasts struggle to find the right performance parts for non-traditional tuner cars. Banks offers the iDash DataMonster, a comprehensive gauge system that caters to all car types, not just trucks. PhilAm himself vouches for the iDash, replacing his multiple gauges with this singular unit and praising its features like the shift light. Upgrade your car’s performance and knowledge with Banks!
