Turbos & Blowers with Gale Banks (part 2 of 2)

[@bankspower]

Yup, folks have been "twin-charging" for years. There was even a VW in Europe in the recent years that was both supercharged and turboed. It was a 1.4 liter, got almost 200 hp and got great MPG. The turbo provides the mid and top end while the blower huffs it out of the hole. A great combo.

Banks Power If you can put this in a rear wheel drive layout, with stand alone engine management, I'd like to drop that in a '32 Ford roadster, MG Midget or Volkswagen Karmann Ghia and make it my daily driver.

I know where I'm going when I hit the lotto! Great videos Mr.Banks I can't wait to see what you are going to do with the Duramax! In the mean time I'm building me a red trans am too

On the 222 record run the truck blew the whole back of the quick change off after the final mile trap we found a couple of gears and bearings plus alum pieces on the track

[@pyromv07]

@bankspowerinsider yep there is a guy that does truck pulls around here and is running a supercharged twin turbo detroit diesel

[@IIIRotor]

Mr. Banks, You Rule. Thanks for all you have done. I have a question, well I have a couple of them. How viable is it to use Hydroxy as an alternative fuel to the comon place fossil fuels we have today? Can it be used in a Charged ICE? Would you consider the risk involved with hydroxy, to high? Kind regards A longtime fan...

[@yellowlt1ta]

Thank you for clarifying that.

[@yellowlt1ta]

The disadvantage i see in going diesel would be not being able to control the timing. I dont know if they control the fuels timing some how or the cam takes care of that but it doesnt seen ideal to me. yet im not expert

[@speeddemon0117]

Turbochargers also get better fuel economy then superchargers.

[@KANMANDE]

using the turbo as a wind turbine to recharge the batteries or something in that vicinity...

[@thedudefromthewoods]

new diesels time the injection of fuel. they directly inject fuel into the chamber. it is electronically controlled, and has nothing to do with the cam shaft anymore.

[@ge3edy]

u can't supercharger a Diesel only turbos???

[@WildoTheRubberFist]

Cost... Air is free... in most cases it is free....

[@jerzeydeviljerzeydevil9722]

what can u do to make a v6 dodge challenger faster ?

[@SpeedrunTnRC]

Lol listen to this man as he said if you can afford super charge if not nos if you have bucks turbo

[@jjjss4905]

jerzeyDevil jerzeyDevil sell it and buy a v8

[@nastang87xx]

Eh...some people have done custom jobs and have put blowers on their diesels.

[@callumwearne7870]

Too bad things are looking different these days with the cheapness of gasoline opposed to diesel. If anything Diesel has gone up in price because of their associated sulfer problems

[@callumwearne7870]

But heres the thing. There isn't as much N/A engine internal tuning being made anymore. You can turbo charge anything and make it fast. Without turbos Diesel engines would suck badly. But Just imagine if i had a 454 big block which already makes around 450hp, twin turbo charged. I'm willing to bet it would beat the living shit out of any diesel

[@mickymcfarts5792]

Callum Wearne itnwould beat the living shit out of itself. That’s the point he was making. It’s very hard to break a diesel

[@dapz44]

more powerfull batteries

[@dhemi1]

Bottles are for babies. All throttle, no bottle! Gale is right, NOS is for the strip, not the street.

[@futten3230]

meh ill stick to gasoline

[@nastang87xx]

@bkwjrejlegfjligfergf Wait, let my rephrase that. The TRUE term for an engine requires that the powerplant runs on combustion. A motor runs off of another sourse of energy, say electricity.

[@travisbrannon4784]

I want to see you guys put the ford gt to shame at mk2 motorsports they claim there the best at 293mph in a mile i think chevy can do better in less than a mile
