If you think the supercharger is crazy, wait until you see our wheels | BANKS BUILT Ep 37

[@patbullard9276]

I’m an old guy who is not an engineer, but I do love this engineering stuff. And CAD and CNC really amaze me. I just eat this stuff up. Thanks again for showing me really cool stuff and educating me on modern technology.

[@iainlangley]

Same here....

[@la_plata3588]

[@z06doc86]

Now knowing Whipple is a family business definitely will influence my next supercharger decision. I love this truck as well as the superb video coverage. 👍👍

[@bankspower]

Couldn't agree more! Working with family businesses is something we take pride in. Thank you for watching.

[@40calDeathPunch]

Ah yes, a pleasant surprise on a Wednesday. Diesel therapy by the AWESOME Banks Team. BANKS! There is no substitute!

[@bankspower]

You know it!

[@crusiethmaximuss]

Hahaha, love the added editing humor in the Banks videos

[@bankspower]

Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching.

[@aSinisterKiid]

This supercharger is an incredible design. Huge respect to Dustin for working so closely with Banks on this thing to not only create a 1-off but try to make it a commercial part in the end as well.

[@bankspower]

Dustin is amazing. His attention to detail is one of a kind, that' why we partnered with him and the guys at Whipple. When you have a proven track record of badass products, you win.

[@aSinisterKiid]

@@bankspower Don't sell yourself short either though. You've spent an entire lifetime trying to help the improve vehicles and performance. You've got a proven track record of equally badass products. As far as I'm concerned Banks is the industry standard in how to operate a business with integrity and trust.

[@jojii]

I feel like there is an hour of great video on the editing room floor, so much happening!

[@bankspower]

A lot more is headed your way, stay tuned.

As a fellow cad professional myself i love when we get to see what they are doing on CAD

[@bobqzzi]

Great edit on this video; kudos to ever did it. Can really see the desperation and determination in everyone's demeanor. Still think stock looking steelies would be the way to go for the wheels, but it's not my truck. Best of luck getting finished for SEMA

[@bankspower]

Thank you very much! We're excited and determined to get this truck done. Lots of long nights ahead of us.

[@ColeSpolaric]

Just saw an article today about banks revealing a supercharged Duramax at SEMA. I was like I've known this for months, where have they been?

[@bankspower]

Right here, grinding and welding away, make sure you get caught up if you haven't already. Its going to be exciting.

[@ryanc8188]

The tub snap.👌👍

[@bankspower]

Yup, that's Sean for you!

[@jbm3458]

The sketch artist has truly amazing talent!

[@bankspower]

Yes, agreed. Jonathan at Sparc Industries is definitely one of the best in the game, that's why we collaborated with him for this project. Only the best for Lokjaw.

[@AtlasLathe]

That's the first manual milling machine I have seen in a Banks vid

[@ChaseSmith03]

Almost seems intentional that the last few episodes lead us to believe they might not make the deadline. Nice to see to see tons of progress in just the last 5 days.

[@bankspower]

Right now, as we type this, Erik, Eric, Matt, Ross, Curtis, Mike, Jay and the team are working away. Parts are being Cerakoted, the engine is in pieces, wiring and plumbing are in process, etc. It's incredible t watch. The truck will be at SEMA or we'll die trying.

[@ChaseSmith03]

Thanks for the hard work! If you’re able to sneak in an engine build timelapse I’m sure you wouldn’t hear any complaints 🙂

[@Redpitbull44]

Banks Engineering is all about Technical Patina. Got it.

[@georgef1176]

Well I’ll never buy any other supercharger. I never knew whipple was still family owned and operated. So amazing!

[@stephenspringer8100]

You guys do excellent work. I'll definitely look for banks products next time I'm doing performance modifications to my truck!

[@bankspower]

Love to hear this, thanks for watching.

[@johnrus7661]

Love everything about this build! It's gonna be a show stopper.

[@fredericrike5974]

Hey, guys! Old skool, high octane gasoline stinker here; I wasn't a fan of the EPA regs back when they started in the late '60s, but learned to live with them. The E fuel systems trashed my Holley head and I'm glad now- you can have 700 hp and a clean exhaust pipe! So, when you talk about the "other guys" having problems, go ahead and tell it like it is- they are still rolling coal when ya'll are making big Hp to the ground. It is what it is. And Erik will be designing and building electric power adders and hybrids soon, leaving us all in the dust! FR

[@grendelum]

the sketches of the citroën style single spoke steering wheel look great… hope to see it on the truck !!!

[@curvs4me]

Really coming together beautifully. What a contraption! That split bedside is going to be some sick engineering. Reider, you have to go home a couple nights a week bro. Can't live in the shop 7 days a week lol. I get it though, after the build is complete. Funny how deadlines are like a 200 car freight train. They start off really slow and then they build up speed unassumingly and bam! Next time you look, they are unstoppable.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

I’m looking at the wheel design and it looks nothing like the original sketches. Where is the interior squirrel cage for centrifugal cooling?

[@patrickstevens7786]

Beautiful product!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheReinoPaasonen]

This was one of the best videos i have seen. Way to go Team Banks💪

[@bankspower]

[@danielrutledge9788]

Wow....great info👊🇺🇲

[@bankspower]

Glad you enjoyed it, stay tuned for more action.

[@robormiston2841]

The C 4 Corvettes wheels channeled air through the wheels. They changed the design because at speed it was causing lifting of the car.

[@panzerkfw]

That old green windshield is special. It was made that way. Green. That's how my dad told me to identify those old factory AC equipped GM vehicles.

[@coeusveritas6690]

Why does it look like you want someone to throw a twin turbo setup on the supercharger?

[@ericandersen5885]

Yes

[@ZeeBri]

this is a great series

[@bankspower]

Thank you for watching! We love hearing from our fans, make sure you stay tuned for more episodes.

[@dickjohnson6573]

Banks Power also likes the Death Blossoms.

[@jathawk101]

It looks awesome!

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

That dual inlet seems like a lot of air distortion I hope they get that figured out also will they use two mafs or speed density

[@daviddroescher]

Could we see a CFD of the wheels interaction with the body and undercarriage?

[@curvs4me]

This will likely be the best supercharger to date. Even for gas jobs. High volume cool air is as good as it gets. I'd like to see something like a kinetic assist exhaust turbine to share the load on the supercharger drive? Even a sprag pulley system should the exhaust turbine unload the drive hub altogether? Superchargers are superior to turbos on the bottom end without question. Exhaust powered turbines are superior on the top end. Something like a blowdown turbine that would barely add to backpressure, only designed for constant speed constant load? Would be a Lagmaster 9000 without the supercharger but.... If you could capitalize on the exhaust flow energy with very little back pressure. It would be unbeatable! A 3500hp Pro Mod with a 14xmm supercharger uses the same fuel and air as a 5000hp turbo pro mod. That could be a 5300hp superturbocharged crank driven with a blowdown turbine unloading the crank and letting the exhaust go free.

[@salinsoulok3338]

Could we get more of this type of supercharger

[@Ckcdillpickle]

Is there any info on the killing a duramax series?

[@bankspower]

Both the Super Turbo (Monster Truck Engine) and the L5P for “Killing a Duramax” on hold for an extended duration while we conduct testing for our military program in Dyno Cell # 1 & #2. The moment these projects are completed, we’ll roll both the Super Turbo and the Killing a Duramax back into the dyno cells.

[@veleriphon]

I'm not sure I want to ever know the final cost on this project. Holy balls.

[@grendelum]

on top of all the design hours, the machine hours on the billet whipple must be wild…

[@walterwhite2270]

@Banks Team...your progress is amazing. I would pay just to be taken for a ride in it. Hey maybe you can do like the Bezos and Musks and charge people to take them for a ride and get pictures...sorta make an effort to recoup your investment....

[@valttimartti]

Why every carshow has deadline, so stressful. Need some slow lovemaking with these builts.

[@Guns_N_Gears]

Speechless 👍👍

[@bankspower]

Same here, we love building this truck. It leaves us in awe.

[@MrAcuta73]

Ok, I must be stupid...and am certainly no mathematician, so I gotta ask: You want air to come from under the vehicle, over the rotors/calipers, then OUT from the wheel? Things tend to want to go from a high pressure to a low pressure....as far as I've understood vehicle aerodynamics, the under-side of a vehicle is low-pressure? Particularly with lowered vehicles. Layman's explanation, again, I am stupid.

[@nikolaiownz]

Family business is great! I have a 64 C-10 that's what drawer me to this series, haven't missed one yet! No criticism but the wheels are functional and cool but not really very retro

[@BubbyPlaisan]

Hey Whipple, tell me how to get Full Boost under 3,000 RPM with my 2020 - 6.2L - Z71. NO BOOST TILL 3500 RPM IS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT after dropping 10 grand to turn key. And I did all the labor!!! I know I’m waiting my taps but I figured I try since I been dealing with this since Feb

[@hapwasner8021]

[@kevinwiltshire2217]

Lockjaw? Really lol

[@600wheel]

It makes me super nervous when the Machinist doesn’t know the difference between a gear and a spline incredibly super nervous verging on panic

[@600wheel]

It increases my anxiety even more when the guy designing the wheel and the guy stating his requirements don’t have the same reason for the wheel to be moving air if you just wanted to draw air out of the underside of the truck that is easy if you want to draw air out of the brake rotor that is much more difficult and very different I am not sure if I should watch the rest of the video I might experience what it feels like for your skull to pop due to stress

[@bustayu]

Not really sure what so funny about people getting in trouble for making performance products 🤔

[@ionstorm66]

More laughing at the disclaimer they had the throw in there.

[@tommytc75]

I agree the people who made what ever products they were only trying to make a living for there family. Some people do things thinking what they are doing is on the right side of the law. It’s not nice to laugh at someone when they are down and trying to find a way out. You very well have lost a lot of following for that comment.

wheels are disappointing if thats what they will look like

[@binauralauto3621]

Well this isn't very interesting. And put some three phase electric motors and some batteries on that thing! But this will be the same Ole same Ole. They're going to have the truck pull it out do some donuts with it say yay! There's going to be tire smoke and hot exhaust you won't be able to see the hot exhaust but it will be there. You're going to spend countless hours and money on something that serves no purpose to humanity whatsoever. And the guy that drives this truck, everyone will come look at it and be like wow that's a really nice truck wow. But the guy will pull up to the diesel pump and be like wow that s***'s getting high let's put some more in it.
