How we'll gather data from our '66 Chevy C20 | BANKS BUILT Ep 2

The Mr. Goodwrench 350 crate engine is rated at 190-250 horsepower. How much do you think it'll actually make on the dyno? We aim to find out. But putting our 1966 Chevy C20 on the chassis dyno will only tell us the horsepower it's making at the wheels. We want to know more! Like, how much power is the old air filter costing? How much air density are we losing between the truck's grille and intake manifold? To calculate this, we'll need to measure and compare ambient air density to manifold air density. Watch as the guys install the necessary sensors and make a mess along the way.

Oh hell yeah, totally watching this RIGHT NOW 😎🔥🇺🇸

[@williammurray1564]

After a moment of silence for glorious survivor - I wait for the good stuff to come. My suggestion would on the order of a resto-mod, more or less original looks, with all the modern goodies like suspension, brakes, AC, nicely appointed cab etc. a bow to its heritage means it should still be a good tow vehicle. The 66 Chevy pickup was my all time favorite. At one I was going to buy a new one, but got married instead, I know hard to believe!

[@alexligenza7328]

Oh no they've given the engineers tools

[@WoZIMoo]

Banks Power: *haha, look at this 1$ '66 Chevy POS we are tinkering with* Me, from eastern Canada, knowing fair well that truck would probably sell for 25 grand here: *CRIES PROFUSELY*

[@jasons3721]

I got a 66 C-20 i might part with for those prices, where can I find your local listings for examples?

[@ogonbio8145]

He said eastern Canada so go to kijiji.ca and put your search area to a city in ontario and do like 500km radius

[@MyLonewolf25]

Dude even in the states that thing would catch 25 grand in the rust belt

[@jimt9661]

I'd be curious to see the Intake air temp in the manifold vs the incoming air temp vs fuel temp. Latent heat of evaporation is widely discussed, but I'd love to see it documented. Might affect the MAD. Fuel temp would also be relevant in that calculation I would think.

[@cobrasvt347]

That's literally the first factory exhaust thermostatic valve that I've seen still operate

[@Towing417]

Very cool to see this tech applied to something a little closer too what I typically have the pleasure of wrenching on 😂

[@ponyboy5.083]

I love mr. Banks I love his knowledge

[@jaredmayer3960]

Heat riser crossover. It helps heat the manifold so it vaporizes better when it’s -25 outside (Canada). If you take it out the choke is on forever. An engine here lasted 80,000 miles.

[@VARITHMS]

Can we have a walk through of that engine room? This was a fun episode

[@bghankhernandez]

[@cam21471]

You should buy a used Colorado that has the small Duramax motor in it in put that in that truck it would be epic

[@Chilicharger665]

Yeah that or the new 3.0 straight-six.

[@HB_Stuff]

Making a Data Monster work on a truck from 1966 is really cool! Makes me want an iDash DataMonster even more, unfortunately none of the OBD signal protocols pre-2008 are supported. This thing would be great to replace the ScanGaugeII I'm currently using in my SAE J1850 VPW protocol vehicles. I would definitely add an analog module to gather more data.

[@NCTLLC24]

Kool Beans 👍

[@bobqzzi]

I'm all in on this project, but you installed and EGT, but no O2 Sensor? Seems like that may be more relvant. Anyway, can't wait for the next one

[@tbthedozer]

Yes, I want the O2 sensor too! Let’s see how well that motor is being fueled.

[@bankspower]

The O2 sensor is part of our chassis dyno setup so we didn't need to install one. You'll see it in the next episode.

[@isbcornbinder]

Someone get a stool for the short talking head.

We're going to buy him a pair of boots with thick soles.

[@CloudHindlen]

I feel like i had something to do with inspiring this project. By calling Banks 8 months ago and asking if the Idash Data Monster would work on an analog setup. That is about as analog as it gets. 😂

[@leebuck180]

looks like the "new" Banks dyno mule! yes build it, put your Duramax, an allison with a Dana 60 rear then beat the snot out of it!!

[@devriesfabmachine8721]

That idash is awesome but damn it gets pricy fast !

[@chuckswhip]

More more more !!!

[@supercharged6771]

I want one of these units

[@minivanin]

Pretty sure the exhaust manifold had air injection plugs that would of made the egt easy

[@ryanworkman5229]

Correct me if I'm too far away, but if you are gathering all of this data to measure the efficiency of the engine and intake system, does this ,mean you are going to do some upgrades whilst retaining the current engine? I mean intake density, coolant temp and EGT are hardly going to be comparable to a turbo diesel or something.

[@mariobrothers8348]

Is Banks working on anything for the 7.3 godzilla motors? I noticed the Ford superduty in the background and by the look of the exhaust they are gas.

[@bankspower]

Actually, both of the Super Duties in the background are diesel trucks. We have not done any testing with the 7.3L.

[@mariobrothers8348]

Thank you

[@drdiesel1]

Is EGT required for MAD calculation? Can't think of how/why that parameter would be needed for MAD.

[@bankspower]

Great question. EGT is not part of the MAD equation. We simply wanted to keep an eye on EGT so we didn't burn up the engine during the dyno run. Also was also an opportunity to show off more of the iDash's feature set.

[@Black.dynamite-]

Doing roadkill better than roadkill

[@majobis]

Is that a V12 at the 60 second mark? Wonder what that came out of and what they are going to do with it.

[@bankspower]

It's a sister engine to Jay Leno's Tank Car engine. When Gale helped Jay build his tank car, he bought a second unit for R&D. That way Gale didn't have to drive up to Jay's shop every day. You'll find more on the engine AV 1790 V12 here. official.bankspower.com/insider_news/turbocharging-jay-lenos-tank-car-episode-4/

[@qwertyword]

Don't you need the temperature in the manifold? There is going to be a significant temperature drop across the carburetor...

[@bankspower]

No, we didn't really need EGT when all was said and done.

[@qwertyword]

@@bankspower Ah, I should of been more clear. I meant for the intake air density. Thanks

Sell a lot more of them gauges if you priced them to a more reasonable price

$279 for the iDash Super Gauge is insanely low for the amount of data it will display. It'll display hundreds of parameters, many patented!

Dude what? You can buy a single normal, good quality gauge for $50 to+$100. This one does ALL the gauges. How is that not reasonable?

[@pepeshopping]

Well, the coolant temp on the dashboard is interpreted and MANIPULATED by the ECU! Car makers learned long ago to NOT give very quick or very precise readings to drivers. The ECU does know the real actual values, but does not convey that info and simply follow the manufacturer’s algorithms. Reasons should be as obvious as knowing this much.
