[@gordowg1wg145]

ALL Mr Banks' videos should be required viewing for ANYONE interested in modifying internal combustion engines - not just diesel but petrol/gasoline, actual gas (propane, CNG or hydrogen) engines because most of the basic concepts and details are applicable to them all. Volumetric efficiency, charge temperature and density, pumping losses, optimising parts, etc. I've been around engines for over 40 years, off and on, and while I'm aware of most of what he says, there's always something that I forgot or hadn't considered - these videos are pure gold! About the only thing I'd like to see - if I missed it, please correct me with linkies - is the importance of getting the valve seat area shapes correct for optimising low lift airflow, as this is more critical with diesels due to limitations in duration and lift that can be used. I've picked up a lot of low lift flow working in this area, and significant torque gains, as the valve opening is effectively increased from the unshrouding of the seats themselves.

[@JoshuaRosaaen]

This series is amazing. It encourages me to see you kickin ass and takin names when it comes to explaining how the science works.

[@BigGroupHug]

An interesting Manifold Air Density experiment would be to test a Compound vs TwinTurbo setup to observe the differences between the two configurations and how they differently affect manifold air density and turbo back pressure. First do the compound test, then do a twin turbo test. Finally, revise the exhaust manifold piping to be less restrictive and re-run the twin turbo test.

[@FixItPleaseJ]

The exhaust is already 5 inch free flowing.

[@JPMotorhead1993]

I would love to see what effects water methanol and just pure water injection has at this point, leaving everything else constant. I think a lot of people (myself included) are at the limit of their turbocharger or fuel system but are looking for a little extra power so it would be interesting to see if water methanol will offer any benefits at this point by improving MAD. Also curious if nozzle location has any effect i.e. installing directly at the after-cooler exit to allow maximum time for evaporation or direct port injection. It's my understanding that having liquid water droplets enter the cylinder is a no-go. Thanks for all the awesome content Gale, looking forward to see what's next!

[@patrickhouse7095]

JPMotorhead1993 I’m assuming if you increase your MAD, you’re going to need more fuel.

[@FixItPleaseJ]

I would expect lowering the manifold air temp and increasing CAD would still be accounted by the MAF sensor and the idash. Gale said he would prefer 20% excess air, and was only at 14%.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Two things I'd love to see, are pulling the ancillaries off the front of the motor and using a second turbine exhaust side to drive them, see how much power that frees up... And a comparison between the stock setup EPA test mileage and the current configuration doing the same test, to see if there's been a gain in mileage for fixed amount of fuel used. The latter will tell us how much further a truck with this set up will go when driven normally.

[@Karjis]

PiDsMedia Remember that turbine energy is not free, it increases counter pressure for first turbine making it effectively same thing as too small exhaust. But if engine is not near any limit of course that can de done.I remembered Scania doing this at early 90's and it seems Volvo was doing it more lately. Detroit also mayde had these. Basically same thing but auxliary equipment also works full power when idling.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@Karjis - I was thinking later, it'd also need a wastegate to control the ancillary turbine speed, to have the accessories running at optimum speeds, rather then varying up and down. The bypass that controls would aid in removing the counter pressure you mention, or at least limiting it so it doesn't reduce the engines power or main turbo's effectiveness.

I can lengthen the injector duration Instead of going for a bigger injector set. The DPF is removed. And I’m going to make a conical pipe coming off the turbo to drop the exhaust pressure acting on the piston. Increasing the bore to 4 inches. I’d imagine also lagging the first half of the exhaust to help with evacuation of the gasses. Porting the exhaust manifold and both turbo inlet and outlet will also reduce this exhaust stroke pressure. The charge cooler is double the flow and is bar n plate. I have to remove the restrictive turbo noise reducing manifold that attaches to tho outlet of the compressor. Again removing restrictions and heat from the equation.

Water meth an air density is dream come true, this is where I want to see it go ;) Combine that with the charge air cooler, I highly suspect the density will be prime for going much, more on this.

Maybe then we can have a look again at revided exhaust manifolds with some tubular flowing beasts and get the scavenge happening again with some long, high velocity exhaust header pipes.

Where is the video of this engine going bang?

[@ECMUnltd]

This is amazing. So you used positive pressure to replace what used to be negative pressure so there really is only the space you need for the engine function. And the same would apply to scavenge. It already has limited space to begin with instead of dead space as previous. Simple flow dynamics lads and Gale you are a genius sir!!! Hats off to you!!!

[@89vette1]

Is there a part 16?

[@wjaquith]

A master class in diesel engine performance engineering... can't thank you enough...truly fascinating... although my ram 4500 will enjoy Banks air monster intake and ram air it really doesn't need 1000hp. If you'll keep doing what you're doing till you're "in the ground" I'll keep watching and learning! "Till I'm in the ground"!

[@bigmuz_pilot]

I'd love to see the real world performance of this unit in a truck.

[@TheLeonmafioso]

Ok, this series finished here, but you didn't kill it, i feel happy because you gave us some invaluable knowledge.

[@zedzed112]

I would love to see him get his hands on a "powerful" coal rolling truck on the dyno and then retune it his way.

[@Alpejohn]

Or that he tells us in detail whats wrong and how.. Just in detail like he normally do 😁

[@stevewilliams430]

Mr Banks, You sir are a true educator! And education is important if you want to make power and save bucks along the way. Trial and error is not a good way to go so science and tech is the only way to go. You have made that so much easier and taken the guess out of the equation. I want to thank you for my education watching this series I have learned so much and it is sensational.

[@wyattgraham5711]

I’d be fine if you taught the rest of my Mechanical Engineering courses.

[@5uggestions]

thank you for running this series and sharing your information the way you do. its nice to find someone who truly understands what they are talking about. water/meth would be interesting too see how much more you can get out of that L5P

[@thursdaybird]

Mr. Banks, please spay the engine with propane....its an excellent cooler of charge air temps in my experience

[@jacobmoses3712]

Bear in mind that propane is a fuel. Sure it will cool the intake charge but I suspect it will make EGT higher.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Oh, really appreciate the introduction of the 'chapters' as it makes it so much easier to go back over parts of the video.

[@koryholt4807]

Please do killing a Cummins. 🙏🙏

[@Cliff_Anderson]

Fantastic stuff. This video series will be a great legacy for generations. Your determination to maximize efficiency is what makes you a superior engine builder. If you just want to see what the bottom end will hold, I guess that's just a matter of cylinder pressure and RPM. Crank up your max cylinder pressure. You already know it will hold together at 260, how about shooting for 300!

[@dxd48c]

water meth injection. Please! Good Work, Team Banks.

[@MadMatt4WD]

Thanks for the Videos Gale. I have learned so much watching this series. I can't wait for each video. I think back to when I was an apprentice and all the tech we learned and this is building on the 30 years of experience i have now. As a youtuber I know the work you put into each video and so thanks again.

[@mindfullchaos]

Thanks Skid Factory for suggesting Banks. I love the deep and thorough explanations of the dyno data and the mechanics happening behind it.

[@patlandymore7035]

I just found this video. So informative I had to watch it twice and a couple of segments three times. My suggestions: -a bit more active camshaft profile with little to no more duration but a bit more lift -that will require better valve springs -all of this to support a slightly larger turbocharger I think that will get the engine to 1050 or so... Thanks for the great video!

[@patlandymore7035]

The above suggestion is humbly submitted.... I know nothing but my own instincts and math lessons. That said...to the young man that suggested these videos should count as 3 credits towards his Engineering Degree...heck yes! I would have loved to have a course this practical and this well taught...by an awesome instructor.

[@Metalwolf765]

I am so damn glad Gale Banks is willing to teach the world!

[@viridianperformance7124]

I'm just sitting relaxing... New Banks video... Don't click, Don't click, Don't click... Ok, I'll go put my uniform on and go to school (except I didn't learn this much at school). So much love!!

[@LandonClimbs]

"You have to run leaner or its smoke city" LOL i love gale. Watching these is like learning from your favorite highschool teacher except im 27 and i get to just watch these from home.

[@sarahkeene500]

Great work Gale. Thanks for keeping us all entertained. Here is what I would like to see next and why: 1, Water/methanol injection to understand its benefits on a system that is already highly optimised (has efficient charge cooling). 2, compound turbocharging to see it done in a methodology way (the Banks way!) I am interested in the approaches you use for charge cooling between stages and how much extra plumbing is involved. 3, Propane injection to prove just how much (or little as a non purveyor) is to be gained from it. 4, Nitrous Oxide, because if you haven’t killed the Duramax by this stage that might do it. You say yourself that NOS tanks just aren’t big enough for anything other than specific forms of racing and you should look for performance gains that are available all the time. Thanks again.

[@MrDmax19681]

Gale, you are an impressive engineer and you have a natural flair for educating folks. Every new video gets my undivided attention. My L5P will likely remain stock since it is more than adequate for my needs. That said, I'd love to see you guys bolt on a supercharger (or supercharger and turbocharger combo) to this engine.

[@TheCalvinSkinner]

I am very upset with myself! How have I never seen a Banks power youtube video? This is actual science! I am so pleased with content. Nearing the end of the video and cannot believe how good this is.

[@johngonzales1845]

Because of Mr. Banks and his accomplishments with this engine makes me a BELIEVER!! Mind blown...a brilliant brilliant man 💪

[@TunedbyShaneT]

Really enjoy all of the videos on this series. Refreshing to see someone who has had a huge impact on the industry relay accurate information in an easily understood format. Great job Gale!! My vote is compounds, because Air Density Matters. I don’t think most fully grasp the concept of what is possible with properly designed systems which focus on burnable air mass in the cylinder at Intake Valve Close. Hopefully one day we cross paths. I’m looking forward to it.

[@codycall6513]

The more of these videos I watch, the better I’m understanding his lectures. Very cool.

[@StephenBrewer89]

I was waiting for that engine to pop. At that rpm that long was making me nervous. This is nuts guys! Another great video and a well built L5P

[@pbalerig]

Incredible videos from a legend. I greatly value watching these from an amazing generation. Thank you

[@isaacandruthruss90]

If the cylinder pressure is limited to 260 bar, the next step is to rev the engine harder. Anything done with NOS or water meth injection will have the effect of increasing charge air density, this will allow a leaner afr at 1000 hp but will not allow an increase in power at the same rpm because they are already hitting the cylinder pressure limit(I assume this limit is imposed by the cylinder pressure sensors being close to maxed out). Therefor the only way forward is to take the rpm up, the water meth injection or NOS will help lower egt's and help cylinder fill to compensate for the smaller amount of valve open time at higher rpm. Possibly could need a larger turbo as you will be passing more flow through it and it could become a choke point on the turbine side. This is fantastic stuff, love your enthusiasm Mr Banks, I hope I am as happy and enthusiastic about my work when I'm an old fella too. Bang that Turkey!

[@MidwesternGarage]

Definitely learning a lot. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything in detail in a way that is easy to understand. I am not a GM fan but still very interested in the engineering behind your products. After you grenade this Duramax you definitely need to make a killing a powerstroke and a killing a Cummins series!

[@mediocre_moto]

I kind of skipped a lot of the numbers stuff, however Gale’s testing methods really show why Banks are at the top of their game. Test, record, repeat. Kudos to Gale and his team for playing the long game and investing in the industry. 👌👏

[@robm3357]

Really liked these 15 episodes. Thank you Gale.

[@matiasdamian8106]

And finally after a long wait the L5P got it's 1000hp, amazing explanation of all the features made on the engine and results. Would like to see this engine with compound turbos and water-meth to low those outlet temps and hopefully you guys put this engine on a truck a make test to see how it moves someday! Keep going Gale you're amazing

[@miguelarroz2410]

1000+ HP with almost 100% stock internals WOW. Congratulations guys! You should do compound next to see if the engine's behaviour with the compounds is improved over stock for the same 1000 HP, I mean, if the responsiveness is improved. And next to that, expecting that the engine keeps good in health, you should add a Water+Meth system to take it to the extreme. PS: It's a pleasure seeing your videos where you teach something. Thanks for the effort you put into this videos.

[@highoctanechef]

Water/Meth I think would be the better option. Love watching this series. Much respect.

[@rosegold-beats]

this automative stuff goes deeper than ever. i couldn't be more grateful for its existance

[@leslienordman8718]

Outstanding episode! Outstanding result! Congratulations on 1,004 horsepower! Even more than the stellar horsepower and torque figures, I love how you explain how and why you got those figures. (It's also a rather good advertisement for iDash.) What to do next? I have no idea: surprise us! :-)
