@@hondacota4rt You're right. I don't think anyone blames Dan since he's admitted about knowing next to nothing about diesels. They could probably say about anything to him and he'd probably not realize they're wrong because he doesn't know.
Let me tell you one thing... HE IS MORE FUCKING USEFUL THEN THE PRIEST WITH HIS THEOLOGY CLASS. He is easily understandable if you know the basics of an engine.
"Later we're gonna go rob a liquor store" LMAO. Gotta love Gale. Also: Stock bottom end and he makes nearly as much power at 3500 RPM than Danger Dan's PPE-prepped billet head motor did at 4200 LOOOOOOOL.
And it's actually done right. I didn't realize how much of a joke that motor is (at it's current setup) until I saw Gale's reaction to it. So glad he's still around and here willing to teach people who're willing to listen.
@@02honeydew from the second it started spewing smoke in that Hoonigan vid I KNEW they were in for trouble. Then they had boost leaks...and no proper dyno exhaust...and no A2W intercooler...and no heat wrap on the components...and the list goes on and on and on and on. I really, REALLY hope Dan's firewall is insanely strong, because that motor is going to eat itself with this tune.
@@spdcrzy kinda sad really. Dan's put his trust in these guys and they've kinda made him look a fool. And honestly they should know better. Dan tried telling them it was spewing exhaust gas and they didnt even realise. They then see its pouring black smoke saying how its starved for air yet he opts to "bump" the fuel. You literally just established it had to much fuel. And then it loses power as if they didnt already know that was about to happen.
CtrlAltSk8 i agree, it is kinda sad. Dans a really good mechanic that really does know his stuff, it’s just that diesels arent a part of that so he came to these dudes who are meant to know their stuff and they’re shafting him. Dans seen Old Smokey F1’s truck and that’s got a 1400whp (I could be wrong, that’s just off the top of my head) Cummins in it that’s got a big intercooler for the charge from the first turbo to cool down in before it goes into the second turbo, he’s got a bunch of cooling and everything. The only problem I’d wager Gale would have with his truck is that it’s belching smoke too but that’s a really common thought process to people that gale has more or less individually started changing.
This is why Gale Banks is the LEADER in making power in a diesel engine. Pure science and physics at work here quantifying not guessing what needs to be done. Who would have ever thought tailpipe back pressure could seriously impact horsepower to this degree, 61 horsepower by changing the piping?! WHAT?!.... I had no idea that there was that much weight on the pistons to drive exhaust gases out of the engine. I can't wait to see the next episode with the all the improvements Gale is bringing to the table.
This is the best turbo content on the internet. So many concepts that many of us understood intrinsically but couldn't put into words. Gale is an absolute legend and I cannot understand how this channel doesn't have 2 million subscribers.
I have a lot of respect for a inteligent man who can articulate himself well and use data and logic to make his point and leave the BS behind. Well done Mr. Banks! Pay attention kids.That is how you earn respect.
You are without a doubt the best person to learn about diesels from. So insightful and clear in your explanations. Not to mention, your company makes bad ass parts! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for these most excellent presentations. This view of the engine as a system of systems and how they interact with one another is priceless. I wish I could watch and discuss them with my "old man" as he was the one who ignited this automotive passion in me way back in the seventies.
In all honesty Mr Banks, you're the spitting image of my late grandfather. So, not only do i get some very good teaching of diesel performance but i also get to hang out with my grandfather(so to speak) .... It doesn't get much better than this! Thank you for all that you do! 👍👍
HOLY MOLLY, WHAT AN AMAZING CLASS! Only reason I got into turbo'd cars back in the late 60's was MR. GALE BANKS! I would read everything I could find about his work on turbo engines and apply his principles to my cars. I once ran a small block Chevy Vega with turbo setup that no one knew was turbo powered. Beat the heck out of many "Big Block" motor cars without them knowing what the hell just happened. They were very confused because my car idled just like a factory unit and no nitrous tank or connections were visible. THAT was a lot of fun. My respects to you Mr. Banks. I wish all my school teachers would have been like you.
Great informative video. Loved the section on boost vs. back pressure. My new ECU (Adaptronic) uses this measure as the load axis in the fuel and ignition tables. Knowing the differential pressure helps optimise the system for efficiency, and allows the tuner to make informed decisions on how far to pusch past that efficiency area. Also where the 'stop' point is and whats causing the limits. keep up the great work.
Man I wish this man was my father!!!!!! Can you imagine what your childhood would have been like?!?!?!?!?! Amazing just amazing how this man's brain works!!!!!!! My hats off to you sir!!!!!!!
Not exactly. The 1000 horsepower goal is achievable on stock parts but the peripherals are at their limits. Look at it this way, if aerodynamics prevent reaching a top speed goal because drag prevents it, how much power would it take to defeat the aerodynamics? There are cars out there that can do 200 mph on 800 horsepower but the Bugatti Veyron needs well over 1000 to get to 225 mph, but needs 1250 horsepower with 4 turbos to get to 255 mph. See my point? Air intake into the engine is that aerodynamic barrier. The last thing you want to do is create supersonic airflow in a turbo engine. Gale has his work cut out for him.
@@joshtheking1772 Not a super educated person in this regard, but as I recall "simply" creating a denser charge will decelerate the charge and decrease IAT's....like a water or water/methanol injection system.
Very few people in life truly can say that they love what they do professionally. I'm one of those people and I must say I envy you but your vids inspire me at the same time!
Thanks for spending the time to educate people about the process of finding hidden horsepower in a world where everyone wants the baby, but not the labor pains. As a Training Manager I appreciate your visual story telling and clear easy to understand graphical depictions of what you're trying to explain. Its clear to me that your intentions are to inspire and educate the viewer and making this information available for free is very generous, thank you.
Absolutely amazing. I love the science and data that is used to precisely add and monitor performance rather than throwing high performance parts at it and not knowing exactly what is happening. I wish Gale would build my l5P
Im so glad gale is making this content. I been reading negative reviews on some of the banks intakes for f150s. These people don't understand tunes are almost always nessassary when you mess with the plumbing, intake and exhaust. He knows what he's doing when it comes to flow and sensors and where that sensor needs to be to read correctly.
Mr. Banks, I just wanted to tell you that ontop of some serious horsepower knowledge your personality and your enthusiasm is what keeps me coming back to watch your videos.
I am not a professional mechanic by any means...However, I enjoy seeing the data and what the engine is saying it needs. The break downs have really pushed me to a new level of understanding in regards to engine, fuel/air systems, and how it ties together. Almost 20 years ago my grandfather got a banks power pack in his 99' Dodge dually for towing purposes...I now understand why he was always so impressed with Banks...Good work! Looking forward to more!
I really like the way, how you explain the results of dyno measurements and how something affects to other thing. Great job Gale, it´s enjoyable to watch these videos, just keep doing these.
I'm assuming the principles laid out here about back pressure apply to gasoline engines as well? I remember old school mechanics saying not enough back pressure on gas engines was bad for the valves, and I could never really understand why that would be. This, and all your other series of videos, are phenomenal. Keep up the grand work!
Great video! Been preaching this for years, air flow restriction versus exhaust backpressure have big impacts on EGT's and engine performance under load.
My grandfather told me when I was a kid back in the eighties that back pressure on a turbo engine will create a power loss and always said an engine is just a large air pump He basically told me exactly what you have said in your video Thankyou for reminding me of this and of what I was told when I was 7 or 8 years old 😊😊
Wish Gale would have done something similar with the LML duramax, but this is awesome content and knowledge sharing. People like Gale are the people we need more of in the world 👍🏻 Keep making that power!
That’s crazy how much power it is making and holding together. Your able to tune it like that and make so much power. Love these videos Like the black mask. I made mine out of my arc flash pants (navy blue) . They are think and tightly made and with 3 layer and a coffee filter, 307L tig rod for my nose and PARACORD PLANET Brand Contoured Side Release Black Buckle with some elastic to help with movement because it clips on the back on my neck and top of my head. I wear earmuff at work and the behind the ear hurts after 12+ hours.
Gale, I got good results on the k&n HP-6002 oil filter, also i was able to pickup almost 15lbs of oil pressure with just reflective tape on the coolant crossover tube above the driver's side exhaust manifold. I ran a 06' with a refrigerated box up over the continental divide twice a week for 7 years until i stopped carrying milk up into the hills. I personally put over 550,000 service miles on that truck and its still on stock bottom end and trans, various mods but i was able to practically double my fuel mileage. I gotta get this thing up and running again (has to do with little green people of my municpality).
12:00 isn't there a point where lessening backpressure starts to hurt? I understand that losing backpressure makes it easier for the piston to move back up on the exhaust stroke but doesn't a loss in backpressure mess with the velocity of the exiting exhaust gasses? Wouldn't that affect turbo effectiveness by slowing the velocity of the exhaust gas entering the turbo?
Cummins Diesel has a few years of experience in this market. I'm sure they are doing similar engineering as Banks but in larger numbers that deal with 912 Cubic Inch and larger engines.
I heard of your Chanel from the skid factory. Al was 100% correct I have learned so much in the last two videos I have watched. Keep up the good work and highly informative videos.#new subscriber
This was great to watch and I'm learning a lot about do's and don't's on my own diesel. I'm wanting to increase my HP on my LMM that is already moded plus get some extra fuel mileage so all this free knowledge helps a lot. Gale keep up the great work and videos! Can't wait to see the end result for this L5P 🤘
This type of testing is EXACTLY why I only use Banks products for my trucks, 425,000 miles on my cummins and its had a Banks tuner,intake and exhaust since it was new.No BS numbers, just solid power and reliability!!
Love these episodes. Mr.Banks your a riot to watch, DONT EVER CHANGE!.... I cant wait until you release the Ford 6.0 Rear End cover.. Mine is toast and I am limping it along until I can get your new one! Thanks again for all you do!
This was the coolest, most informative video, a certified mechanic could ever watch! I’m curious how back pressure applies to newer N/A engines, the power they can make, and the fuel used per HP. Say, a ford 5.0, or 3.7. You know, everyday driver engines. I’m just nerding out but I think it applies to my customers
When you see your name on every part in a engine and on gauges used on your dyno. You know you’re a master of your craft, I don’t think there is no bigger authority on Diesel engines than banks. Amazing
Hopefully this will spread far and wide, as with this entire series but specifically to perhaps shut up the people who think you NEED back pressure in the exhaust as if they are dealing with a two stroke engine. How many times have you heard...ohh that's too large an exhaust pipe diameter, you want to have some back pressure, geesh. Thanks Gail, love your work.
Its nice hearing intelligence with engine performance. Instead of the ole, ' push it till it breaks, then back it down a notch.' Gale, if you ever need help, I'd love to learn, and apply my knowledge, with one of the 'few', that do it properly. Thankyou for striving for, and possibly meeting perfection. Its refreshing, and nice to know there are still some out there that only do things the right way.
Second comment. I'm sure you've got the data, so it'd would be great to have a look at the different sensor data with both configurations at the same 852hp. Also surprised you haven't gone to a tubular exhaust manifold to further reduce cylinder back pressure and reduce cylinder to cylinder back pressure variance. The cylinders at the front of each bank (1 & 2 or 1 & 5, not sure on cylinder numbering in a duramax) will both be suffering more back pressure than the others. I see this issue in ventilation designs I’m involved in, where fans are installed in parallel discharging into a log manifold. The fan furthest from the discharge point always operates at higher pressure (thus moving less air) and more care needs to be taken when starting them. Side note: in order to avoid flow separation (and thus turbulence) in in a conical expansion (or evase, if you will) the angle of expansion needs to be kept
Great video man! Lots of ppl and so called tuners don’t even know wtf you saying lol, I remember calling MPT once for tunes for my Ecoboost truck and they told me don’t do a catback won’t do nothing lol, I was like wtf lol these guys are tuners lol Keep up the great videos man!
Great info!! What about the Porsche way of expanding the air charge just before the cylinder to cool the air down even more and the cylinder. But requires a bigger turbo.
i completely agree with you finally someone that understands 1996 dodge Cummins banks turbo exhaust housing Pac brake pro flow 4 inch adaptor bolted to the banks i can hold my hand on the cold side of the turbo after climbing 7% grade 15 miles 26k lbs and its cooler than coffee also aero turbine 4040xl diamond eye exhaust

I love these videos. It's great to see Gale nerd out over the numbers.
I would have loved to see the egt difference @850hp with the new piping.
I'm sure it was a bit higher
I thought he said it went from 1600F to 1650F.
I agree that would be really interesting to see. I would bet it will be a good bit lower since the air is doing less work during its escape to freedom
Unboxed and installed my new diff cover last night. 🤩 what a nice piece. Worth the wait.

Here from the Hoonigan diesel dyno. Love how you broke down the back pressure in the system.
8👍's up Mr power thanks again for taking us all along with you for the great show
Love these episodes. Mr.Banks your a riot to watch, DONT EVER CHANGE!.... I cant wait until you release the Ford 6.0 Rear End cover.. Mine is toast and I am limping it along until I can get your new one! Thanks again for all you do!
This was the coolest, most informative video, a certified mechanic could ever watch! I’m curious how back pressure applies to newer N/A engines, the power they can make, and the fuel used per HP. Say, a ford 5.0, or 3.7. You know, everyday driver engines. I’m just nerding out but I think it applies to my customers
LS, Atlas 2900, 3500, 3700, 4200.
Best series on YT. Thanks GALE!
When you see your name on every part in a engine and on gauges used on your dyno.
You know you’re a master of your craft, I don’t think there is no bigger authority on Diesel engines than banks.
Amazing
I have never liked numbers but man MR. Banks got me hooked with them numbers and his knowledge
Great video as always Gale!! I could listen to you all day!!
Hopefully this will spread far and wide, as with this entire series but specifically to perhaps shut up the people who think you NEED back pressure in the exhaust as if they are dealing with a two stroke engine. How many times have you heard...ohh that's too large an exhaust pipe diameter, you want to have some back pressure, geesh. Thanks Gail, love your work.
Outstanding use of data to provide relevant information, then using that information to make good decisions!
Its nice hearing intelligence with engine performance. Instead of the ole, ' push it till it breaks, then back it down a notch.' Gale, if you ever need help, I'd love to learn, and apply my knowledge, with one of the 'few', that do it properly. Thankyou for striving for, and possibly meeting perfection. Its refreshing, and nice to know there are still some out there that only do things the right way.
Best update yet Gale!
Second comment. I'm sure you've got the data, so it'd would be great to have a look at the different sensor data with both configurations at the same 852hp.
Also surprised you haven't gone to a tubular exhaust manifold to further reduce cylinder back pressure and reduce cylinder to cylinder back pressure variance. The cylinders at the front of each bank (1 & 2 or 1 & 5, not sure on cylinder numbering in a duramax) will both be suffering more back pressure than the others. I see this issue in ventilation designs I’m involved in, where fans are installed in parallel discharging into a log manifold. The fan furthest from the discharge point always operates at higher pressure (thus moving less air) and more care needs to be taken when starting them.
Side note: in order to avoid flow separation (and thus turbulence) in in a conical expansion (or evase, if you will) the angle of expansion needs to be kept
13° actually works best.
Just call up Cummins and put your theories to the test!
@@cencoast_7.340 somehow, I think I'll trust the engineer ✌️
I iS aN eNgInEeR. That title isn't highly acclaimed in the auto industry much anymore. Use it wisely
@@BlowinSoot93 ...Mechanical engineering is as important and respected as it ever was. "Value" engineering has the industry by the balls.
Gale is the man love the no bull style amazing engineer amazing parts
Blow that pup to outer space Gale! This series is the best of the best keep it coming👍
Im gonna have to start taking notes when I watch your vids. You’re the teacher I never had access to before
Great video man! Lots of ppl and so called tuners don’t even know wtf you saying lol, I remember calling MPT once for tunes for my Ecoboost truck and they told me don’t do a catback won’t do nothing lol, I was like wtf lol these guys are tuners lol
Keep up the great videos man!
Great info!! What about the Porsche way of expanding the air charge just before the cylinder to cool the air down even more and the cylinder. But requires a bigger turbo.
Adding to list of Gale-isms: "C'mon, children." (19:33)
love to see how this build is shaping up
I'm a data analyst and I freaking love this! Great job!
Excellent data analysis as usual. Awesome video!
i completely agree with you finally someone that understands 1996 dodge Cummins banks turbo exhaust housing Pac brake pro flow 4 inch adaptor bolted to the banks i can hold my hand on the cold side of the turbo after climbing 7% grade 15 miles 26k lbs and its cooler than coffee also aero turbine 4040xl diamond eye exhaust
Be interesting to model the resonance of the exhaust piping. Exhaust scavoneging due to resonance could increase power further.
