Data Logging | Building a Monster Truck Engine Pt 1

[@LordBathtub]

i couldnt find monster truck events any more boring but the machines themselves are amazing creations

Just because how high this gentleman’s belt is, I trust him.

[@mareksumguy1887]

I concur.

[@linksgarage1985]

I am 100% convinced not a single person on this planet knows more about forced induction or Diesel engines than Gale Banks. Well done sir. You are an inspiration to many. Keep up the great work.

[@Mr.Killswitch]

This is one of the best no bs just solid nuggets of info channels around!

[@powderriver2424]

Yes we do enjoy these videos. If your any kid of gear head and have any curiosity what so ever who wouldn’t love these. Listening to Gale speak about all these things and from 50 years + of knowledge fantastic.

[@z06doc86]

This country needs more extremely intelligent men with common sense like you Gale. Thanks for your videos.

[@SA-dl9ox]

I could listen to this guy describe how he buttered his toast for an hour- so engaging. Bank should have been pushing videos like his differential cover series A LONG time ago. And make some products for GM 6.0L gas engines!!

[@mitchlesinski7803]

God damn tremendous respect to Mr. Banks and anyone who loves mechanics and engineering in the ICE area as much as him. I fear not too many kids in the coming generations will ever feel the love as much as us.

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

Banks and Papadakis are the two most humble, straightforward and easiest to watch and learn from. On the other end sometimes you need some video crack like the Hooligan team.

[@wastelander89]

I'm happy for you that you achieved your dreams being able to have a shop and dyno and be building engines. It's so cool to see your history of evrything you achieved

[@db1988]

Man the diesel market place owes this guy so much thank u Gale Banks u opened diesel world to perfomance world and man is it awesome long live diesel power

[@C8guy84]

Gale I'll help you on the throttle position part. If I remember right as a kid the percentages on gravediggers throttle position were either 0% or 100%!!

Great video! I am a high school engineering and applied technology teacher and I thank you for your passing along your knowledge and wisdom in a exciting, relevant and professional manner. I use your videos to help inspire the next generation of gearheads, engineer's, and computer science students. The relevance and excitement in your videos make them ideal learning tools! Thanks!!!

[@nerdyism2523]

This guy come off more friendly than Mr. Rogers... Imma binge watch this.

[@delvinchandler]

Love this guy, this man single handedly taught me about how diesel engines work and forced induction, Gal you are awesome

[@28cruzin]

Ok, I'm new to this channel. The diff cover video caught my attention. About 2 minutes in I subbed. Not only does this man know his stuff, he can explain it! I understand him! His enthusiasum is infectious. I'm old but not dead, just a little disabled, and he's giving me ideas! I love diesels because they're stout and make real torque. All my diesels have been natural or turbo. Supercharged has got to increase throttle responce because it does on a gas motor. Some of these so called superchargers like Vortec and Pro Charger look like belt driven turbos to me and they have lag, too. The Roots type of charger makes boost off idle and that's old school! I'm sure the answer lies in supercharging or a combination of supercharger and turbo like today's 4 stroke outboards. I can't wait to see the out come of the diff cover issue. Maybe a system like NASCAR uses is the best solution. We'll see soon because Gale Banks is on the case.

[@KingJT80]

screw blower. different than a roosts blower. you know those make A LOT of power gale banks been the man for diesels for YEARS!!

[@djarcforceable]

Man I love the way these gauges look. Small and clean with a crisp display. And this has got to be one of the best channels I've ever subbed to. Gale Banks is a really cool guy for sure. Definitely will be buying some Banks products for my truck in the future.

[@peixinho1973]

Greetings from Germany! Simply amazing! I love the U.S. for this. In Europe, this would have been totally impossible. Amazing!

[@timotheus2003]

I love the "little" tires for transporting the truck.

[@Bryanja81]

I would love to sit and talk to Mr. Banks one day and just listen to stories and pick his brain on performance.

[@randysrestoration]

Gale, Always interesting to watch!

[@philtripe]

hey...i subbed you years ago, lol...Gale is a living legend

This is the stuff I love and understand. I am a retired mechanic. I am also 73 years old. Old age has placed me in observer status, only. I am not complaining, so much, I thought I had more to offer, but I timed out.I am having a good life.. My car is a 1940 Ford with an M90 Eaton supercharger and a TEC3r on a Ford Flathead V8. I like Cummins.

[@creaser28]

[@matthewwilliams9200]

Wow i never knew that info.. professionals never like to say we cant do something and shut down. If capital and commitment, we can do it or be apart of it being done. I would have loved to see where banks would have taken the trucks engine builds from back in those days. Glad to see it now, the excitement you show when finding and getting the numbers on this tech is awesome.

[@_valve]

These are probably the most interesting videos on KZbin. God bless you Gale and please keep up the good work on these awesome videos

[@thomaswolff6367]

I'm gearhead studying mechanical engineering and I love seeing science and engineering being applied in the aftermarket.

[@brianp5579]

Thought for sure he would start the video by sipping on a monster energy drink.

[@ratman5727]

Gale, thanks so much for making these videos in the name of science and documentation! Data logging is such an integral part of improving something, -you need to know what is going on before you can proceed to making changes. Myself being an older generation gear head, all of the new instrumentation makes it so easy to acquire information, it almost feels like you are cheating. The future is here! Thanks you Mr. Banks for all of your exceptional contributions to the speed and racing community!

[@Dr_Xyzt]

A diesel in one of these makes a lot of sense. They're designed to run at high Duty cycle and bearing loads for long periods of time. 1200hp is an attainable power level. Even if it's down 100hp, the initial hit is so hard, a normal low RPM torque converter will give you your money's worth without being so damn touchy. Even if you do need the boost, just brake torque it. You won't have to pay for rebuilds as often. Banks is the only guy doing diesels with separated banks so they still sound like V8's. I'm interested to see if Gale will run a supercharged Diesel with enough pressure to keep Propane in the liquid state. As of late, I've come to love the hell out of propane, as Hank-Hill as that sounds, it's true. The latent heat of vaporization. The durability of the tanks. It kicks ass.

[@jeffh6971]

@@NAPAuniversalJoints have you not seen the pikes peak superturbo truck Banks built?

Deisel Brother's show did this without a super changer, so this will probably solve it. If not guess it will need to build with aliminum rods for some more snap.

This technology was already available, even for street applications, from numerous other manufacturers, with a stand alone full instrument gauge, with turn signal, fuel level, rpm, speedometer, the list goes on.

If you're referring to the iDash 1.8, the gauge has never been this small, offered so much and cost so little.

Love your passion for diesel , I want your diesel monster truck too kill the the spark ignition . My thoughts may be wrong but here they are , clearly I don't have a dyno cell or do i have any proof to back me up . Its only information I've gathered through out my life , and my passion for solving problems , Disclaimer thoughtful enthusiast theory only. - Torque transfer time , idle to full coupling torque lock up sec. ____________ - engine rpm vs wheel speed map - adjust the gearing in drop box to match the lower diesel rpm band width. -run a full lock converter 1800 to 2000 - lower rpm torque values mapped against wheel speed - 540 usable torque range ( dead stop wacking it , wheel starts to move record rpm ________ . Full lock up red line rpm __________. I'd guess 4500 to 7200 - Original 540 max wheel speed - I'm guessing the 540 produces a average 1100 ft lbs of torque in a 3000 rpm window - matching the torque window at a lower rpm , and gear up to match wheel speed , - The missing hp is still a concern for reaction time and can be made up with coupling the torque faster - Also setting up the l5p to produce a average of 1400 ft lbs torque in its usable 3000 Rpm window to compensate for the loss of hp - the faster you can couple a diesel and take advantage of the long slower burning power stroke the more torque it will produce. - keeping the rpm lower will net the most gain . - I'd concern my team's focus on torque numbers and throw out the hp number with the boost gauge.,q
