Inside our Whipple 3.8L front-drive dual-inlet twin-screw SUPERCHARGER | Banks Built Ep 39

[@ubergamejunkie]

I love how Gale makes sure we know the names of the guys putting the time in. Saying "Hey, my name is on it but an army of guys made it happen," is pure class. Great job, Matt.

[@bankspower]

That's the kinda guy Gale is. The guys over at Whipple are making this Supercharger piece look amazing.

That is a beautiful blower for that engine, as the others have said I can't wait to see it all assembled and running to hear it. As for painting that thing, I also like the pure look of it, or maybe you could just paint the tops of the ribs and the banks name and leave the rest shiny. Keep up the good work, I will be waiting for the next set of videos

Gale, you're not allowed to retire or die on us! We'll always love and respect you and your legacy.

[@joshuasrulez]

This is my favorite channel on KZbin. Seeing the drive, passion, and motivation the entire Banks crew shares is truly inspiring. For all the younger viewers out there, let Gale Banks be a role model. He is a true example of an American who has pursued his dream, perfected his craft, and inspired like-minded individuals to join him along the way. The grin on Gale's face talking about all of the little details, still as excited as a young boy, should be motivation for any entrepreneur out their to pursue their dreams and passions. Thank you for sharing all that you do, I'll be anticipating your next video 🙂

That is some serious supercharger but my main concern the the front bearing, sealed on both sides of coarse but not really serviceable plus even cut from a billet but very thin. If the bearing gets hot, starting to fail, it can lockup and twist out or spin and destroy the support. I can't seeing it lasting 5,000 hrs. DK, ASE master tech since 78.

How come banks isnt talking about the RPM act which prevents the performance mods on any vehicle with a VIN. RPM Act @Banks Power , you need to support it

[@bankspower]

We're racers and have been since 1958 when Gale sold his first engine. We publicly back the RPM act to preserve racing on multiple occasions.

[@aleks138]

is there a science behind the asymmetric outlet?

[@jeremypike9153]

So what do you use chemically to cool the intake air mixture on a diesel? I would imagine that methanol wouldn't be good inside of a diesel but nitrous or propane would probably work well am I wrong? Or am I just completely wrong in my understanding of the mechanics of making power on a diesel?

"You goofballs" -The Intro.

[@jamessimpsoniii2029]

I would love to know as Bonneville legend if a supercharger such as a Whipple would be better for a high RPM motor vs Turbo as it should provide power across the power curve without surge and the ability to make a cleaner bay for other items. Also would you ever use interchiller aka a ac compressor derived cooling like the SRT Demon and our fellow gear heads in Australia use seeing frost on the condenser proving it does lower IAT. Building my dream car and I'm wanting something for standing mile and 1/2 mile so legs is what the motor will have rather than arm breaking line power. My aim is high rev modern billet hemi with destroke and or flatplane with matching internals to achieve high wind with consistent power across the all rpm's and feel turbo shutter or burst only hurts consistency in the short course of this type of racing.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

Gale is cool af

[@worldssickestmedia2713]

I play with little 2 stroke motors and little small block V8s. So I know how a diesel works. But that's about it. I know nothing else. So question. Is it possible to build a high performance diesel that will run like hell without it blowing smoke like a dumpster fire? Or is that a monumental feat that's damn near impossible?
