Which Banks diesel crate engine configuration are you most interested in; single turbo, supercharged or supercharged twin-turbo? In what vehicle would you install it?
I think as its not very common a 7l supercharged chevy or dodge and not a truck for this one
Single Turbo in my 98 Dakota as a reliable Daily with some good torque.
Supercharged twin-turbo into my 91 V1500 Suburban
I am most interested in a turbocharged 3-liter, six cylinder VM Motori (Chrysler) diesel engine (preferrably turbocompounded like the Curtis-Wright R3350) that I want to put in a Superlight Coupe SLC, a component car.
I would like to see a supercharged twin turbo as long as the turbos can be place properly. I dont like turbos that eat up all your engine bay space. A supercharged engine with twin turbos integrated into the frame/sheet metal like they do on the corvette would be awesome and a killer setup.
I always feel smarter after watching “The Man”, this guy is so damn smart.
Thanks for bringing the CAD designer to the meeting. The 3D visualization really helps in Dr. Diesel's explanation process.
The reappearance of Gale reminded me and many viewers why we initially subscribed. It really is the best show for true gearheads.
Love when he said ,well hear at Banks we don’t do anything half ass.
I love the OEM level engineering that goes into a hot rod project due to the "bleed over" from your military contracts. Clearly any crate engine you sell will excel in durability and reliability. Engineering second to none!
At Banks, we have a saying that has been used on every race and custom street project. This is the relentless pursuit of excessive awesomeness.
@@bankspower does Banks (not necessarily the man himself) have any thoughts on belt driven centrifugal compressors with clutches, so you can shed the parasitic load once the turbo(s) get spooled?
Versus of course the traditional positive displacement blower always on(and always dragging)
@@myselfremade not sure and I'm using a movie reference but mad max had a supercharger setup, but had it setup with a a/c style clutch.
@@Texas21Texas yes that's the idea.
@@myselfremade Or you can have the turbo/s blow in to the supercharger and "push" it. when the turbo/s catch up.
This is like sitting in on a zoom meeting for the product development department. Awesome.
It is pretty amazing that they are this open. He could develop it and stick it in the page of a magazine and hope people buy it. But showing everyone the ins and outs really builds trust in the company. These are very educational videos and an advertisement to their engineering and quality that I think people defiantly appreciate. I have only bought one of their products but I was a happy customer. It was very well built.
@@geoffmooregm Very well said, that's exactly what we are doing.
@@bankspower is it too late to make it a Dually? Lol needs the old school tow mirrors!
Gale makes learning so much more fun and interesting than anyone I know.
He would be a great auto shop teacher. The gearheads would keep his classroom full.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I've learned more watching this channel than I have since I've been at my "automotive" school.
go to a better school LOL
Manifold Density.... lol
@@V8Lenny I don't remember CADing up engines in engine basics
@@V8Lenny And Gale Banks is going over more than engine basics. Point made
@@V8Lenny cool
Mr. Banks humble and smart.
You guys are doing WAY better than Discovery Channel in my opinion. I’ve watched a lot of DC back in the day and I watch a lot of CZcams now and I think you are taking the best of both with almost none of the bad. Well done!!
What an awesome man Gale is. I love that the old guy is willing to incorporate the new style with old. That's hard to find in us grumpy old guys. LOL.
This series just keeps getting better! Gale really clarified a lot about the direction of the build and the reasons why they are doing everything. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoy the series!
Gale Banks is the father the diesel world always wanted. Pushing the limits when the limits never asked for it.
I'm always fascinated with the work Gale does, you can truly tell the passion he has for what he does. He is honestly one person I would love to meet and talk to.
I would love to meet the legend myself. But I'll have to settle for youtube videos
My youngest son wants to get into fixing up vehicles. I automatically told him to subscribe. This is awesome!
Knowledge is power, we love to hear people getting interested at such a young age. Thanks for the watch and subscribing.
If only every young person started with Banks. Sadly, many start off at "Joe's house of crap fab and money grab". If you do quality work and keep promises you make, the money will follow. In fact you'll have more work than you can do. It sounds simple but so many shops don't get this. If you're only in it for the money you'll fail.
Cheap, fast, good. Pick any two.
@@MrCarnutbill67 I have told him the best advertisement is word of mouth. People are likely to spread the quicker with treating people the way you want to be treated
I always feel smarter listening to Gale explain. greatly appreciate you Gale
Jack, thanks for watching and commenting. We love hearing from our loyal Banks fans. Stay tuned, we have more content headed your way.
I love learning all this stuff about engines and the integration of the systems into a functioning unit. This is great! Keep it up!
Awesome, glad you're learning. Thanks for watching.
I could listen to Gale for hours talking about this stuff :D
I love you gale banks. I’m a steel fabricator welder and have a great admiration for your attention to detail and doing things right. Keep on tickin your a living legend
Gale has got to be one of the smartest men ive ever encountered in this business the wealth of knowledge in that mans head is astounding
Gale is the Bill Jenkins, Don Garlits, Smokey Yunick, and Dale Armstrong of the Diesel World!! : )
@@Romans--bo7br We couldn't have said it better ourselves. 🤘😎
@@bankspower..... Thanks so much for the reply!!...... that definitely puts Gale in an elite group of "pioneering brain trusts" fro sure!! PS: I wrote you folks a comment / question just below this, under your "Banks Power" posting about "Which Banks diesel crate engine configuration are you most interested in...". Could or would you Please respond to that for me?... Thanks again and really appreciate all that you folks do.
One of the few channels I can hit the "like" button before finishing because I know i'll love it!
Awesome! We love to hear this feedback.
Mr Banks is a truly phenomenal mad scientist and diesel wizard. You rock Gale.
Like Dr. Frankenstein and Prof. Dumbledore. * Queue ominous music * 😈🧙🏻♂️
I can actually see that picture in my head. Gale wearing a Fedora hat with a LokJaw smile.
It's going to happen. 😆😆
Gale, you rock.......I love when you're on screen, you are an Old time Motorhead like most of us. Along with the tech, and knowing your shit, you talk like most of us.
Mr. Banks simply states why "purpose built" becomes "Public use" and why that is important. Brilliant Sir! At 64 years young, I love seeing people who are open to new ideas that have the vision to make them reality! EDIT ADDED: And the one I would like to see? A Single turbo in a Ranger 4wd! ( my dream truck)
Stuck in Quarantine in Japan, live the content, more please
Every week on Monday, there is a new episode of Banks Built. If you need more content, we have our Killing a Duramax, Super Turbo series, and our Engineering Unboxed.

Absolutely ridiculous that there are still states and countries that think that locking people in their homes closing schools and business is the answer to this! Sooooo sad ...
Gale banks is a personal hero of mine and a huge motivation. I hope to meet him one day soon.
Right on👍 Just as I thought your episodes couldn't get any better you just keep out doing the previous. Always a treat to hear the engineering side of things looking forward to the next video.
This is great feedback, thank you for watching.
you cant help but to love banks dude is THE DIESEL GURU
It is so refreshing listen to Mr. Banks.. sadly there are very few people like him in the Auto industry..
On a truck this low, the gas pedal and the oil filter will be occupying the same space. Love the build. Showcasing what can be done with american engineering and fabrication is top notch.
🤘😎🤘 #murica
You're awesome Gale! I was a LS junkie, never gave a second thought to rolling coal. After a year of watching your channel my dream garage now includes a Banks built Duramax right next to my gas burner. Your interest and passion is contagious.
Great, we love to hear this feedback. Thanks for watching.
Literally the king of diesel performance. At least whenever the name gets mentioned you know you will be going to Gapplebees
Love banks
Why would you give this video a thumbs down? This man is a legend and is building something that has never been built.
Right!?!
869👍's up Mr Power thanks for taking us all along with you for another innovative show possibilities
I've been following and watching Gale for as long as I can remember. I would love to see him build and develop a v16 like Detroit did but the reliability of a cummins with twin blowers and quad turbos that could fit into a Chevy truck. This man is amazing. I love that he is so driven to do more everyday.
In Oz, Ford made it possible on the supercharged coyotes to run air con refrigerant through the intercooler the same way you are using water. What a great channel you guys produce. well done.
Thank you watching!
I have used 12 rib serpentine belts on centrifugal supercharger. We always had problems keeping the belt from slipping even with a lot of tension. The other problem was the belt getting out of shape at higher RPM. Since your are running a slower turning diesel you might stay within the belts abilities. We found that anything over 6000 RPM caused belt issues.
I actually think this is one instance where a 12 Rib might actually work
Can't wait to see Gale roll up letting the air out!
Gale is an American treasure !
I was surprised you guys weren’t going hydraulic coil overs. But either way this is going to be an amazing build and I’m loving the videos. Great work and especially passion from Gale 👍👍. Cheers from Australia 🍺
As always, very informative. Love listening to Mr Banks spitting technical information.
And yes, we need to see you roll up and air out 👌
Spool is in session! The "Enlightened Old Man", as he called himself, gave us a whole bunch of enlightenment of our own! Great episode, guys! I can't wait to see this truck lay frame with a fedora-wearing Gale behind the wheel!
Also, if you're ever wanting to develop a blower setup for the LB7, I, uh, know a guy who might be interested... Haha!
Jay, you said it. Spool is in session. Also, we're going to get Gale to wear a fedora for the initial drive. 😁
@@bankspower Haha! I can't wait to see that! Looking forward to next Monday! Have you all taken a look at the screenshot I sent you? I've gotten the decals on my truck, now, and it turned out awesome!
@@bankspower I just put out a #shorts video of my new decals! If you're interested, take a look at them and let me know what you think!
Jeez banks is so cool why? Because he doesn't try to be cool. He's just naturally a cool dude!
I can sit here all day watching epicness! Gale banks for president.
Gale Banks. You are hero of mine, who else would "give away their secrets"? Only one who has 100% confidence.
2 minutes in and gales gameplan is already epic
That's it, epic or awesome. Not average, thanks for watching!👍🏻👍🏻
those solidworks models look so beautiful
Thank you!
Oh my goodness this project is coming together so fast!!! :D
You know it!
Love the geekness and attention to detail..... 😎
That's us. Geeks and nerds who love engines.
You're the best gale. I loved it when you said "we don't do anything half ass around here"
That's the only way thing will get built properly. Being militant about data and precision is the only way you build something.
Top Notch Content 👍👍 And wow what a Sweet Setup! BRAVO 👏 ❤ 💪
This is gonna be such a sweet ride
Banks is a Living legend
I just saw the uprights on Kibbetech's channel! Next build needs to be a blown BugattiMax!
Love this channel. If Detroit wants to make trucks people will buy, they need to watch what Gale Banks does.
Love these videos, think we are real lucky to learn through these videos from a true master of his craft.
25:00 - Mr Banks introduces the first dry sump Allison transmission for pick-up trucks...
Yes indeed. Imagine the possibilities !!!
I second this we need to see this happen. Could open up a lot of room for swapping possibilities.
Would love to see gale work his magic with an om606 or 617, push the classic diesel to its limits!
Gale Answered Those Odd Questions With Such Poise, I Can See He Held Back, It’s Not Easy When Someone Ask Numpty Questions. I Hate Biting My Tongue
I liked his response to the Discovery Channel Comment...that was done very classy....
@@walterwhite2270 Totally Agree With You, It’s Not Easy Holding Back.
Love the series, keep it up Gale!
I love Gales passion for this stuff. I'm so excited for this TT blown Duramax!
Great information and love watching the engineering involved. Great job guys
having these videos of the design discussion are awesome.
I'd have loved to be sat in that room just listening in. So much knowledge and experience in one place. Amazing
That's the beauty of this video series, you can be a fly on the wall from anywhere at any time. 👍🏻👍🏻
I hope gale banks lives forever
Same here.
👍🏻
Gale your an amazing guy and I love your approach and way of doing things - your just a great hot rodder at heart 😊 Keep up the good work
Another great banks video. This truck is going to be so bad ass. Cant wait!
Thanks Gail love this program
Biggest fan from sweden
Frederick, thanks for watching Banks Built! We love hearing from our Banks fans from around the world.
There is so much to love about this channel. Thanks for the education and...entertainment!
Nathan, we love hearing this kind of feedback. Thanks for watching, stay tuned for more great content.
I love the videos and the quality is great. Please keep em coming.
Thanks for watching!
Gale, the guys at The Little Shop Mfg have built a few air bagged and body dropped Chevy 3500 Duramax duallies. They have solutions for engine and suspension clearance at super low ride heights. Eric Saliba might help ya with any questions. Good dude. I wish I could have a hand in the build, so cool!!!
I'm really glad to see someone using the word "damper" rather than similar words that don't exist (dampener, dampner, etc).
Gale Banks is a national treasure.
You won't try and steal him like the constitution right?
@@bankspower Hilarious 😂
Thanks Gale, once again I learned a ton in this video. Congratulations on your success
Thank you Tristian, stay tuned for more content!
Amazing channel !!! The best!
Love your response to the comments. Love the videos.
If it's got your name on it, do it right. My dad taught me that DECADES ago. You feel the same way, I see. If you own it, OWN IT!! Good job, Sir.
Love this channel keep up the amazing work and I can't wait to see the finished build 👌👌
Will do Steven, thanks for watching and being a loyal Banks fan.
Gale needs to open up a performance school. Gale will forget more than most people will know.
You're looking at the performance school, you can watch anytime, anywhere.
Thank you for another episode of Geeking out with Gale.
Our pleasure, we love this stuff.
Mainstream media could DEFINITELY take some notes!! Your video production is off the charts! I expect to see some banks engineered camera mounts and accessories in the future... have a feeling that the current market is lacking. Lol. If there was a Banks channel to pay for monthly i would drop Netflix instantly!
We're not in the camera accessories biz, but it's a nice compliment. Thank you!
Gale and crew! I’ve got a 240sx s13, mint condition. Needs a banks turbo setup. would make good video series for the channel. Let’s make it happen.
this guy has to be one of the smartest people on the freaking planet. Wow.
I love watching Gale Banks explain things because it is usually on the outer limits of my ability to understand and I like feeling my brain stretch.
When I watched the killing a durmax episodes he got into the air density and other stuff...my head spun a little but I did learn from it also....it isn't about boost, it is about air density......
You could do an entire video of Q/A with Gale!
Good idea, we'll keep that in mind for an upcoming video in the series. Thanks.
My first ever car was a little diesel car called a 94 Citröen AX mk2 and it had a 1.36 liter (89 cubic in) inline 4 atmospheric indirect injection engine in it, spewing out just a few donkeys above 50 hp and spending around 4l/100km (~59 mpg). The whole car probably weighted less than that engine you're building (690 kg 1521lbs) but the car nerd in me still loves every bit of these series, even if it is unobtanium to us Europeans. Mr. Banks is a pleasure to listen to and the mechanical engineer (not automotive) in me, really enjoys hearing about all the packaging details. The more the merrier.
Absolute legend.
Gale inspires me every time I listen to him!!!
Awesome, we love to hear this kind of feedback.
Gale & team, I wish more people thought like us: Pierce the vail and don't follow the crowd.
Love your callouts; it is literally unbelievable how much the herd follows one performance shop's mundane and non-innovative products.
I struggle with this issue a lot where I work, as I hate being tasked with making "our own version of another companiy's product". Then there's the fact that the LS community still thinks oiling system fortification is a "maybe" and it's so funny to watch people go thru the same failure patterns untill they realize they need dry sump oiling systems if they wanna be competitive. I love seeing Banks Power stray from making "me too" parts. I wish y'all weren't in Cali bc I'd love to work Banks.
Jarott, first, thank you for watching and the kind words. Gale has prided himself on never following the herd, as you pointed out. Although it earns us respect in the long run. However, it can be painful because people often resist change. You just have to stick to your guns and continue to innovate, despite the naysayers.
Great explanation, great job, great channel
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!
Keep up the good work!
I love how unpolitically correct Gale is 🇺🇸
Really enjoyed this episode...my mouth is watering at what you are doing on the engine for the supercharger and cooling. Funny part about this is I am not a Diesel person but loving this setup...can't wait for the finished product. I assume you will put this on the dyno before putting the engine in the truck....don't want to miss that episode.....thx
Walter, we love that you're getting into diesel. There is more action coming, make sure to stay tuned. Also, we can't wait for the dyno episode either, it's going to awesome.
awesome stuff
i like this guy, hes 78 and busting his ass on video production
literally a good guy
Gale your my Hero buddy seriously!!!
Love the project. Hope it stays a group-effort.
It will, start to finish. Thanks for watching.
I would say the packaging will be a major factor of the power combination. IMHO a compound turbo would be the tightest packaging but if there is a set up with just a supercharger, that would look the best. Also a remote trans filter and cooler would give the extra clearance with a modified pan.
