Wild headers for our SUPERCHARGED DURAMAX | Banks Built Ep 38

[@Fr0stbyte89]

That's one extremely talented header fabricator.

[@1DVSB]

NRE….where he worked is one of the best

[@EricErnst]

Those are some pretty long primaries. Great for low end. That dmax is gonna roar. I'd like to hear a supercharged duarmax with open headers. I'll bet it sounds wicked.

[@bankspower]

* Godzilla scream has entered the chat *

[@burningglory2373]

Low end is where you want that powa and torque baba

[@joesilvasr9733]

Absolutely the SICKEST set of headers that I have ever seen!

[@scottjones8977]

The level of craftsmanship on this entire project is off the charts!!! WOW.

[@truegret7778]

What I love about Nelson Racing Engines is they are the only shop (as far as I know) that offer mirror image turbos that absolutely look gorgeous .....

[@narmale]

paired with that alien intake is just straight sex...

[@maker-matt]

Back in the day, the term was "Spaghetti Header" These are a work of art! Much respect to the fabricator, he did this old school, no 3D scanning or solid works or even those plastic click together piece sets.

[@legros731]

These plastic mock up piece are made for butt weld schedule 40 cast elbow useless in this application

[@vokdienuwesuidafrika]

agreed. lol that guy with the hat keeps bringing up the cad stuff, he must be annoying to work with lol

[@bananaman2184]

The sound of a diesel without the muffle of a turbo is gonna be amazing

[@akpolack]

My n/a 6.2L diesel just sounds like a Chevy v8 with a wicked knock

[@emoryjenkins6481]

@@akpolack basically is one 😂. Those 6.2s sounded like a cricket the size of an elephant

[@chucknorris3984]

It will be like an old 6.5 GM diesel before they had the turbochargers only a bit higher revving and with a bunch of whining noises. And more power. A lot more power and no crank snapping.

[@stellingbanjodude]

Gales description of and word usage is always a breath of fresh air

[@eboutilier6]

Those headers are going to look B.A. Can't wait to see the engine completely assembled!

[@workisfun...2438]

Wowsers. Craft is still alive!

[@MrJapatron]

There are some extremely talented people showing up in this series. I can’t wait to see Lokjaw running!

[@JayRussellDuramax]

This is incredible! I'd love to see this engine on the dyno with those headers as compared to manifolds to see just how much better they are. Great work, guys!

[@frediefarmer]

Love the design of the headers.. looks awesome..👍🏽👍🏽

[@theblackbear211]

Man! What a job! We're all rooting for you!

[@timmythesheep]

Wow, those headers are really impressive, you don't see talent like that often.

[@jamesmccomb6217]

Those headers are a work of art!

[@Biggspeed]

Good Lord those headers are a work of art! Mad skills.

[@ajspak874]

That header setup is sick

[@grendelum]

can’t wait to see the finished build !!

[@chrislaub9452]

Mr banks i wish I could work with you guys and learn the in and outs of your world. In trucks and cars or what ever you put your hands on.

[@petersimpson1734]

I admire the hell out of the fabricators ability to turn ideas into reality. The banks S10 drag truck is pretty damn loud for a turbo diesel.......... I can't wait to hear what this sounds like with open headers :)

[@crusiethmaximuss]

Those are the tightest looking exhaust manifolds I have ever seen!!! 😎

[@aaronnoyb]

Taking long tube headers to another dimension.

[@bankspower]

Exactly, that's why we brought Dragos onboard. There gonna be outta this world!

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

You had me at thumbnail of headers!!

[@erikkekkonen2941]

Wow there is a hell of a lot a fab work happening in a short time !!!!

[@bankspower]

The SEMA crunch is real!

[@jeffwooton7138]

I've seen lots of headers. Them are Sick!

[@gordowg1wg145]

Dangit, those are looking really cool! Goint to be interesting what colour they end up being - maybe even chromed for the 'old school' look? At some time, can we expect some dyno' testing of these against the OEM manifolds - maybe some other diameters and/or lengths? Most trucks have a lot more room than this, so could be some potential for the home-tuner guys to make their own.

[@FxsX24]

That's a wicked header setup

[@ColeSpolaric]

This is starting to get overwhelming, and I'm just watching it! The real question is, will we get to see the final video right before SEMA?

[@stellingbanjodude]

Wow ! Cool set of headers

[@Nate_dumb]

Those headers are nuts

[@garypacholek8070]

Pure artwork !

[@dosdahrk4504]

Also...Dragos...!!!!what a badas name brother...dragon headers omg thats is awesome

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Wholley Faq - did Dragos manage to fit equal-length headers in to that narrow space with that sea snail look??! Gale's comment is spot on, those are a thing of beauty.

[@40calDeathPunch]

Ah, this is good a new episode twice a week now. The best show on youtube. Others try to follow but get lost in the diesel dust. Banks Duramax Diesel Dust!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Y'know, Gale is gonna remind us that 'dust' in the exhaust is wasted power... ;)

[@Dis-Emboweled]

Such a difference between real engineers and passionate people trying to get to SEMA vs. some guy in his garage putting a V8 in a electric car just for clicks. Well done on the build

[@allgasnobrakes4221]

Wow amazing Fabricator!

[@Cataclysm1]

Dragos is a hero

[@bankspower]

True story. Dragos is true artist and the exhaust system turned out to be work of art that help LokJaw scream.

[@pudermcgavin4462]

Mr banks is a modern day midas all he touches is gold

[@NCTLLC24]

Amazing Work!!!!! WoW 😮

[@Techangler65]

That is crazy cool man. Great design

[@Wandering_Horse]

Those headers 😍 Speaking of headers, used to use Specialized Coatings in HB for custom BMW header package for the E30 chassis I helped develop and market ;)

[@twray9029]

That is total art work!

[@gregsimon9061]

Those headers are gorgeous.

[@crazyeyez1502]

Mannnnn.... Mr Banks had the header guy standing at 'parade rest'.... lol

[@phillipcave1197]

Omg, those headers are amazing

[@aus71383]

Those headers are epic

[@beowulf885]

Can't wait to hear what it sounds like

[@stephenmoxley3004]

VV O VV...amazing work! Can't wait to see this truck at SEMA.

[@bankspower]

Us either, we're excited to get LokJaw done! SEMA here we come!

[@andrebosgraaf2086]

Can't wait for the startup from this powerhouse 😍

[@trentmunn9486]

Fantastic episode!

[@TheBossKelso]

i was not expecting that :)

[@patrickspringer6534]

Talent in spades

[@TjBruce817]

"Medusa headers"...luv it!!....Lock Jaw is a real snake charmer now :-)

[@hyper8545]

Great work guys

[@bankspower]

Thank you 🙌 we love hearing from our fans! Stay tuned for more action.

[@bartdaw6681]

Hope the motor mounts are solid cause the driver’s side header might vibrate against the frame. That being said really nice fabrication by the header specialist.

[@frednewman2162]

What was the coating? Can it be used inside the engine also, like for oil galleys and the inside walls of the block?

[@jeffwooton7138]

Cerakote is the coating on the outside. Most folks use Glyptol for oil galleries. I guess you could use it on the inside, but it has a very detailed apply process; might not be cost worthy.

[@badgermetal]

Ceracoat I believe. Short for ceramic coating.

[@383mazda]

NIC industries makes this paint. Cerakote is a ceramic coating. They also make powder coat paint.

[@200shotramhemi4]

Sheesh!!! Million Dollar Look!!!

[@fredericrike5974]

I'm thinkin' all those boyos rollin' coal will be wanting the horse power back- real soon! Once SEMA is done, Banks Eng. needs to really flog Lokjaw- I/4 mile times, dyno work up, the whole nine yards! I think you have figured out how to draw a crowd for sure! "FR

[@MRR-qv3bw]

My wife wants a diamond ring for our wedding and I want a set headers made by this guy😂😂😂

[@ArielCalonne]

Awesome stuff!!

[@preformancemustang]

Nice custom job but how in the world are you going to get to the bolt flange to bolts them one.

[@Slider68]

What is the logic on the extremely long tube headers? It has been a while (35+ years) since I've done any math/simulation on headers and I seem to recall using either ¼ or ½ the ideal length for the pulse wavelength in my header designs. Are these full 360° wave headers? What rpm is the engine designed to run at? Also, is it really worth all that length and potential flow resistance when you have a supercharger creating such a large delta pressure between intake and exhaust? Finally, did you say that an oil cooler was going to be mounted directly beside the driver side header? Um....? One thing for certain, those headers do look extremely cool!

[@Airman..]

wicked twisted

[@clubsport9334]

@BanksPower do not stiff us with short exhaust vids. We need to hear this system from all angles and under different loads! Thing of beauty.

[@bankspower]

Copious amounts of tire smoke and exhaust sounds will be had after the build is done!

[@donalddarbonne779]

Amazing!

[@AmarilloHorseSports]

Looking awesome,

[@bankspower]

Thank you! Cheers! We got our nose to the grind stone!

[@Lightsout89]

Bring on Tubesday 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@oikkuoek]

Those indeed are some sexy headers..! But just how much science went to the design?

[@timothybayliss6680]

Motec ecu running a DI diesel is neat. I dont think i have ever seen that before.

[@CloudHindlen]

Woah!...Nice

[@l...]

Twisted like spaghetti

[@kanenstuff]

Is there any reason you went for cerakote and not ceramic. I had all my turbo hot and cold side ceramic coated about 15yrs ago and has been a gem and still looks like day one. But I know Banks engineering know there stuff just wanted your point of view on the ceramic v cerakote?

[@bankspower]

Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating. It's offers the best of both worlds. You get the heat resistant qualities of ceramic coatings, with a plethora of colors and finishes. We're so impressed with the product that we've partnered with them on a few upcoming projects.

[@paulcopeland9035]

"their"

[@kanenstuff]

@@bankspower thanks for the reply I am in Asia I will have a look to see if they have cerakote here. That's great they can add colour and also have the heat resistant properties I am looking forward to seeing there stuff on your future build and your SEMA build is amazing 👏

[@Metalwolf765]

Those headers look insane! Love it, but that driver side is going to be a bear to get in and out. I don’t want to think about servicing it or messing with the heads because that steering shaft has to come out every time too.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

At least you don’t have to change spark plugs.

[@Metalwolf765]

@@Bill_N_ATX Seriously bud

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

"Pure sex" he says.... I wanted to laugh but then I realized with our age differencen he has probably had way more than me 🤣🤣🤣

[@joachimsingh2929]

Yeah make those pipes as close to each other with as much curve as you can and as long as you can to case less flow more heat and more pressure being lost that could be used by the turbo to make the least efficient exhaust ever. Really makes power.

[@snakeman48]

Now that exhaust is what I'd call "Snake Tubes" LOL😂

[@bankspower]

Hmm, pair with our Sidewinder Turbo System? You might have something there.

[@forzaMilan12795]

you think banks would make some headers for the turbo kit they sell for the 7.3idi? one can only dream 😵‍💫

[@JohnDiMartino]

Wow 👍👍👍

I'd over to see Gale Banks design a BadSs wheel for this project would be BadAss

[@robschouten5853]

"Spaghetti Header" this one will make the car slower and is pure for show

[@yummy678ify]

I’m wondering how the EGR, DPF, etc will tie into those headers. That’ll be when the real craftsmanship shows up.

[@SHIFSHAF]

lol

[@chrislaub9452]

I wish I could get my hands on, one of your whole set. My v10 has 370,000 on it and I want a duramax in my f350. So I can whip up on stuff with a work truck. I would do anything for that set up. I'm dreaming lol.

[@drthik1]

What happened to the kill 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.

[@anthonymartin9672]

11 min of meet and greet and 2 min of engine and body footage, 7 seconds of header footage. Not what I was hoping for. Was this shot by MTV?
