Banks has always been a futurist, adopting turbocharging as the way to increase air density in a racing engine way back in the 60’s when a roots blower was all the rage. Today on legends we will dive into how an engine builder in California became the king of Diesels.

Fantastic, loved the video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
all the grates had invested time in nautical engines those guys know how to make an engine live on song.
Was hoping this video would come across y’all’s way! 🔥
The king has spoken!👑👑👑
Who runs this account at banks? How can I reach you?
Fantastic, love your work and project! Gale Banks really need write a or some books to tell those achivments, history's and knowledge
Banks is a well respected legend in the automotive community, not just diesel. It takes a lot to earn that respect
We are lucky to still have him. He's an amazing guy and watch every CZcams video he puts out. In the future we won't have him to appreciate, please soak up everything you can from him cause that kinda mind doesn't come around often.
I agree, 337 speed is a legend
@@ennote91yes, and the same can be said about Gale Banks, he has built a legacy that spans decades and he’ll always be known as an innovator and pioneer among car enthusiasts
Facts! Emphasis on EVERY
Not completely certain who "he" is, 337 Speed or Gale Banks, but the "vid" part tells me 337.. Agree 100%, this guy's talent for putting this kinda stuff together is amazing. I guess now that I know, I'll look into what Mr. Banks has been up to during his career..
How did I not know he had a YT channel!!? Thanks! Going now!
Oh already subbed. Now I'm confused.
217mph with a 5.9 without rolling coal. BANKS POWER!
Exactly! Setting a world record and with minimal smoke is such a flex😂
@337speed 🤘🏻😎
ALL BANKS POWER Here Too
Rolling coal is always a waste of diesel.
BAM!
Definately deserves a seat at that table. I remember growing up knowing the name Gale Banks but not why. Now I know and I agree, legend.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
As a diesel owner I love that we have people like him in the industry. With the crackdown on the industry from the EPA it's forcing a lot of new innovative designs in injectors and pistons which do more to limit emissions than the horribly designed ones we have on trucks today. Innovation is key.
Innovation is key. But at the same time, the EPA has way too much power.
We fought the British Empire over a tea tax, but our government can kick our door in for selling little tuning devices?!
@@ChocolateHabanero22Seriously? No one is kicking in doors for little tuning devices. Clown.
@@ChocolateHabanero22 lmao, douchenuggets rolling coal, thinking way too highly of themselves are to blame for the epa crackdown.
period.
@@Adam-ce6uskicking in doors for a picture hook...
Been bingeing your videos they’re so good
Glad you’re enjoying them, plenty more to come🙏🏽
Spellchecker
dont u gone be mad when u run out to watch 💔💔😂
S/O again to you guys for delivering yet another master class in automotive presentation. 🔥
Much appreciated!
an important correction...there ARE parasitic losses when you use turbocharger,but are smaller than a supercharger's.
Banks is one that I have completely overlooked in my aspirations to turn a diesel beetle into something that could one day be Pikes Peak worthy. I'll have to look through their catalogues and see what could be put together or garnered from the tuning process that they've got.
I want to say Hoonigan covered a diesel pikes peak car that ran a 2.0 tdi and Porsche pdk.
The tdi sounds so meannnn, the turbo sound on the old 03 is unmatched
“Rolling coal” was the most ridiculous trend in motor “sports.”
Why would you waste fuel? Use it to go fast or to be more efficient.
The only thing that works with ultra excess camber stances.
Roll coal while trying to get over the tiniest speedbump without ruining your bumper cover.
The dumbest thing ever. They’re literally just wasting expensive diesel while giving everyone lung cancer.
Small…mind?😂
it's honestly a singular aspect of actual motorsports taken out of context and made ridiculous. high power diesel builds spit out soot naturally just because the huge amount of fuel being dumped into the engine can't always all be burned, similar to gas engines spitting flames. some people probably saw both of these at the race track and said "what if we did just that, it'll almost look like the race trucks/cars haha" but it just looks dumb when it isn't backed up by actual power increases
Those people who like "rolling coal" are usually inbred or brain dead
I had a GMC diesel suburban with the Banks turbo kit. One of the most reliable vehicles I ever drove. Thanks Gale!
Banks is one of those innovators who did things no one else was doing. Probably has forgotten more than some of us know.
Would love to see an engine tier list from you. Best V8s, V6 I6, 4cyl, etc
It would be interesting. I would hope he would look at things other than the last 20 years. There were a ton of influential engines in the past that got us where we are today. Flathead Ford V8, the Small Block Chevy, the Hemi, Rover V8, 2J, RB, etc.
Been obsessed with everything car related my whole life. How did I not hear more of him? My friend even has a Banks turbo on his Jeep. I have been so ignorant. Going to Banks' youtube channel right now!
If you know the 5.9 cummins "6BT" and how it went from the worlds best industrial motor to a drag strip , you knond of know him already.
Hes the mam behind the ohrase "put a cummins in it" which is something truck designers and industrial pump manufcaturers often said.
He got racers saying it.
He is one of the only tuners I respect. Anyone can throw fuel and timing at it. But keeping it legally that is the challenge
We are lucky that Gale is a Nerd who happens to be a Gearhead. He has an unrelenting thirst for Knowledge and understanding of the Internal Combustion Engine.
Banks is the definition of a national treasure. Absolute legend. I remember reading about his Bonneville truck YEARS ago...went crazy fast and towed its own trailer. Friggin epic.
Every single video this channel puts out is entertaining and very informative.
Keep them coming sir.
Gale Banks is an absolute legend. I'm an import tuner but his influence supports my tuning decisions to this day.
Gale was building 400kmph street cars while the OEMs were just hitting 300 he is a mountain of knowledge awesome presentation, well researched.
If this channel had stock, I would buy 1000 shares. This man has everything and is making amazing content, and is going places.
Oh, you so made my day!! Watching this before I go to bed might have been a bad idea...Gale Banks is someone I badly want to thank for helping me understand boost.
I stop everything that I'm doing everytime I see a new upload!
😭 you the goat
Every 337 vid is great, I just love how articulate and well spoken the narrative is you can hear every word as clear as a blow off valve 😂, loving the deep dive into tuner history as well very informative, and love the absolute classy plug for banks channel which I wouldn't even have known about without it ❤❤❤❤❤ keep it coming bro this is fantastic
Gale is pure inspiration man. Pioneer, visionary, good guy and certified badass all in one. He deserves a seat at all the tables.
Great video, you should see Gale call out the hoonigans on his channel when they were building a duramax for their Camaro.
awesome video. in the early 80's my dad subscribed to about 10 different car/truck mags and i rmember bank and then callaway were doing crazy stuff and ever since then ive been hooked. ive followed all the americans but im also the biggest Ruf fan since before the yellowbid back in 85. this is an awesome series. i got to subscribe and go back thru the catalog. thanks for making content showing that without thee renegades we might not have all we do today. they deserve all the recognition you are helping with and i personally appreciate that. cheers
watching the s7 video now. i loved the little rangers steve built. they had a scca class for those. probaly why the syclone come. awesome videos
I love these videos so much! Hell of a job, there’s nobody doing short documentaries in this way like you
Another great video. One man I would love to meet is Gale Banks, the man is crazy smart.
Thank you for the monday upload Brotha!! 🤘 best content in the game
I seen a few of his videos and man he is a great teacher!!! His wealth of knowledge about this stuff is mind-boggling
Goddamn idk where the hell you be pulling this goddamn boat load of information from but man you serving this shit up like a premium 5 star dinner with this presentation
I have much respect for diesel tuning that produces no black smoke.
His segment on after market rear differential covers vs stock and of course his design was such an interesting and informative watch.
This isn’t just another great video, this is gold standard
I really appreciate you hit on the actual numbers of afr for a diesel to be roaring coal and the actual adverse effects of doing so, rather parroting the same line over as most other people do when talking about rolling coal
Man this channel continues to double in quality with every video you post. The video footage, the pictures/models, and especially the writing. You are going places my guy, glad to be a part of it.
Love from Erath/Abbeville
The P-38 Lightning & F4U Corsair also ran turbos during WW2. Forced induced FTW 🤙
That bullet proof mechanical injection system💓
i am watching the saleen one now. i love the little rangers steve built. they even had an scca class those ran in. probably wouldnt have had the syclone without steve.
This has to be my favorite youtube channel right now.
Gale Banks and Diesel is match made in heaven 😎
I learned about Banks when I was a teenager way back when reading Hot Rod magazine and seeing that red T/A. It’s only the young men of today who grew up on tuners, rather than hot rods, who don’t know who he is.
When I see you dropped another video, I drop everything. No better way to spend 15 minutes.
Thanks for another educational and well put together video. You have got one hell of of narrative voice that adds so much more to all these videos. Keep knocking Em out da park.
Gale Banks is bad ass and still at it.
What a story starting at age 14 Amazing 👍🏻
I liked the dumping rolling coal on prius jab.
Very informative video. Had a Banks "Sidewinder" turbo on my 87 Ford F-250.
Been watching him for years now never knew any of this history amazing at his age still uploading informational videos !!!
Damn! I learn So much and my mind is refreshed from these videos. My memory from Universal technical Institute And all the things I've learned in the field, These videos, working on Mopar vehicles Is refreshed every time I watch 1 of your videos. Thank you🙂👍🏿
wasnt expecting a BANKS episode
lessssss goooooooo
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Better than anything I've ever seen on the History Channel. Keep it up.
11:00 I know a kid who was charged with assault because he rolled coal on someone and it triggered them a severe asthma response. Rolling coal is essentially what sent the epa in motion to start banning aftermarket parts and specifically ecu tuning.
Poor Whistling Diesel
Great video! Much love to Gale Banks. He really was ahead of his time. And his products are top notch.👌🏻
my old boss hasd a turbocharged 460 in his jet boat back in the late 70's.kept blowing hoses lol
There's nothing like the feeling of a modded Cummins. Play around with some mods and you'll be hooked.
I mean they are cool but I'm not sure I'm willing to part with an additional $10k+ for the engine/transmission option. Plus the additional thousands to mod it. Especially for something I'm not really sure I would even use.
I got a 12 valve for 2500 and turned it up with marine injectors and a bigger pump..overall about 3k. I guess being a mechanical engine it's alot less then having to have it tuned on a dyno and doing it yourself sav s a lot obviously 😊😊
@@bmstylee you don't need to touch the internals. I'm talking light mods. 600-700 hp
@@bmstyleealso a manual needs only a good clutch
Thank you for honoring this man he is a true legend and most people don't even know about him and that he's still continuing even at eighty plus and still making the best diesel products in the market. He has a huge contract with the department of defense making Duramax engines even better for the Oshkosh and I believe another vehicle in the military, and when you're making stuff for the department of defense that truly is saying something. He and his shop are so impressive especially with all the free knowledge he has on his channel and how he keeps it all LEGAL 50 state and still makes tons of power if not more power more reliably and better than almost anybody else. And that's from somebody who drives a 2001 5.9 Cummins. He is truly the diesel Guru. And remember rolling coal is just wasted fuel. And Gale Banks believe that engineers that said that in many vids. My diesel engine just produces a tiny little black cloud at startup and it is tiny and even when I mash the gas there is no rolling coal and it GOES.
It's hard to believe Gale Banks has been at the forefront of turbo engine technology for so long. He's truly and icon of the automotive world
The Gale Banks Automotive Technology Experience inside the NHRA Museum in Pomona, California is worth a visit. It features many of his record-breaking cars, trucks, engines, and more.
This is Soo freaking cool man! 😄 I love watching Automotive Documentaries!😄
I hope Gale has a protege to share his vast wealth of knowledge with. He's not a young guy anymore. He has so much knowledge it would be sad if he took it with him.
As far as I’m aware I’m pretty sure his nephew or grandson maybe? works for him currently and has been in some CZcams videos!
The most underrated channel in the whole CZcams.
Thank you sooo much. I LOVE all your videos that I have seen and I have been hoping you would cover diesel. Great video .
I thought this video was going to be about the 20th anniversary trans am with the updated 87 Buick grand national engine. I guess it’s arguably, but the 89 turbo trans am of 89 was the superior powertrain by comparison. The 3.8 sfi turbo intercooled gnx with 2 years of advancements in a lightweight f body supporting the gn engine was and still is a monster. Only beaten by the 4.3 awd system in the typhoon and syclone 60/40 split it was a monster. The gn, syclone, and typhoon were much quicker than the corvette a unspoken no no amongst gm vehicles.
Excellent documentaire ! La qualité de production est exquise, bravo.
Your videos are on point. Thanks for the good work! 👍👍
Your videos are second to none.. Love it
Hearing Stacy From trucks taking about the power pack made nostalgia rush to me
He must be the hero of every European Golf 1.9TDI owner.
Fantastic job. I can listen to your documentaries all day. And i have . Keep it up
You really are the best teacher to me to know what to know about cars. Thanks 👍👍
I loved this video! Great content and narration! 💯
I consider myself a pioneer in the field of "deleting". Removed the failure-prone EGR system back in 2007 from my Volvo D12D 12.7 Liter workhorse. That rig went 1.4 million miles before a major rebuild(egr removed at 380k) . Had make some modifications to the outer exhaust manifolds to keep it reliable
Great work sir respect 🙏 I love your content ,I think Banks is a badass 😎 for showing everyone that diesel-powered trucks can powerful and quiet all at same time and respect for keeping all emissions control 😊
Excellently produced and well done video, looks like your’re on the same brainwave as Gale is. I’m in the Marketing Department at Gale Banks Engineering and I’ll forward this over to our Brand Manager. 👍🏼
What a video. 337speed is next level🐐
Great video! Not even a truck guy. Really cool to hear a full bio on Gale and his engineering firsts!
Incredible as always. Good video bro
8:27 Stacey David! God damn do I miss the tv shows he was on like Trucks! I feel so old now.
your videos really get me through. recently became homeless n ur vids have been very comforting
What a LEGEND. Amazing video.
Thank you for this video. Knew G.B. was "way ahead of his time" and a legend in Turbos. Glad to hear his story. Still want to own his book on Turbocharging.
Banks makes the modified diesel engines run clean and mean
your videos are immaculate - just an idea, maybe there's a cool story behind kia and their stinger? i believe it was the lead designer from BMW that went to kia, maybe there's a story in there? either way, love the videos, keep it up man, you got talent.
Another amazing video. Keep em coming!
Could only dream of long form documentary style videos like this. ITS JUST SO GOODDDDD
I remember the Banks V6 Twin Turbo Buick Regal, which had a big influence on the production Turbo Regals of the mid 80s.
Great video and channel. Not sure what the algorithm was doing but it did right by leading me here
I love that Gale Banks is still active and on CZcams to boot!
Awesome.. Gale Banks is a legend✔️
Another winner, love Banks!
Great video! I'd forgotten about the Banks power stuff in 90's shows and the magazines (and I NEVER knew who he was or his awesome story)
WW2 war time aircraft engine designs were way ahead of their times. BF-109 used the Daimler-Benz DB 605 had a fluid coupled supercharger to change the speed of the super charger depending how high it went. They also used methional injections, and even NOS. Lot of the hot rodding going on later had been done years before.
My dad has a blueprinted 350 from gale banks, he got it back in the late 70s and has it in his 1978 Z28 Camaro! Stellar engine and so much fun to drive!
Bro gave future video hints for Forgotten LEGENDS!❤. Love it Keep it up!!!!
Another GREAT video!
well done video on this legend
I am a car guy, japanese and german cars. but i have the absolute most respect for Banks and his work ethic and philosophy. the coolest tuning company out there, i wish he made parts for my cars.
Love the inclusion of metric numbers.
Great video mate
The thing that makes Gale Banks different from others, and why he truly deserves the king of diesel and forced induction crown, is that he TESTS, TESTS, AND TESTS EVERYTHING! This is why his forced induction diesel dragster blows clean white smoke, no rolling coal at all (which he correctly says is absolutely stupid because it's power lost directly out your exhaust!)
Never heard of Firepunk ? They would drive circles around Banks without smoke.
@@V8Lenny hmm no, where can I find information about them?
