I've been in the diesel field for 30 years, and this knowledge he's sharing is just a huge gift. I had to watch a couple of sections over, just so I could grasp the concept clearly. Thanks, Mr Banks.
Gale and Steve Dinan should definitely be featured on a podcast together, if you're not familiar with him and his (now old) Dinan tuning shop specializing in BMWs, this video is an absolute must, check it out ruclips.net/video/6bkDKqoGSdU/видео.html
love that hes teaching us free of charge. i love thinking of future hot rodders but a diesel is not made to be a hot rod its made to pull heavy loads. kills me seeing people someone spend the huge amount of money it takes to purchase a diesel truck then the thousands and thousands of aftermarket goodies to ride up and down the road thinking they have a 8000lb hot rod. Yet you can spend a tenth of that kind cash on a vehicle that actually can be fabricated into a hot rod with half the power and run off and hide from a 1000hp/lb.ft. 8000lb 80k diesel
@@VladTepesVEVO Another Guy on that list is David Vizard, Probably the Hot Rodder Most published in magazines. Worked with F1 teams and Cam companies etc. There Is a great Video where he explains why DOHC multiple valve heads aren't ALWAYS the Best, Which MOST RUclipsRs think is true. John Lingenfelter was another Genius, too bad we lost him to a racing accident ... Will never forget the time I was able to meet/ talk to him.
Here we have a gentleman whose is so up on technology that he is absolutely crushing it in terms of tuning and theory, compared to people half his age that claim to be professionals. Gale Banks’ videos as of recently with his theories and perspective have really gained my utmost respect. 😳😎😎😎😎😎
Steve Dinan is another one, you absolutely must listen to him on this old /Drive video, I could listen to him talk for hours about engines ruclips.net/video/6bkDKqoGSdU/видео.html
This is how a company keeps from getting a bad reputation about their gear, by properly teaching people how to correctly use and diagnose issues. Even at the expense of a perfectly good engine. Thumbs up!!
This is Great! The coolant readings are going to be interesting, as a HVAC tech I want to see that. If you use straight water the specific heat will be 1. If you use a mixture of coolant or any other additive, the specific heat will change and you have to correct for this formula I am about to give. 500xdeltaTxGPM will give you the BTUs (British thermal units) added to the water. We can see how improper tuning causes overheating and overloading of the radiator. I LOVE THIS STUFF! I use Gale Banks for reference in my HVAC classes for my apprentices. He is so interesting that the students don't even realize they are learning what they just thought to be too complex of a theorem about air properties. What a national treasure you are Gale.
The COMP-OUT vs. Turbine - IN has Always been the Tricky part when selecting Turbine wheel size and turbine housing A/R with a regular turbo. Without Variable turbine housings you always had to choose between boost lag / Boost Threshold and Top end Power.
I closed out of Pornhub for this. Totally worth it. That additional instrument panel is so damn awesone (if you know how to read it), fantastic series, Gale! keep up the great work!
Mr. Banks is my professional hero! After all his accomplishments and all the years he still has the passion for what he does. Thanks for the inspiration and instruction!
The Duramax is an incredibly strong engine. I had a GMC 2002 CREW CAB LONG BOX. PUT 435000 miles on over 11 years and its is still going strong yet today so I am told. It pulled a 5th wheel trailer 37 ft. most of it's life. Just an amazing engine. Waiting for the next step. Thanks
I have worked on diesel engines all my life. Now I am learning how they SHOULD work. The depth of instrumentation and science behind it is absolutely diabolical ! Can not wait for the next episode. Thanks Gale.
As a first time diesel owner ('19 3500HD), I am learning more from these vids than from any other source I have researched. Information is presented in a way that is easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you Gail Banks for shedding some light on drive pressure, a critical measurement that is talked about very little. I was cringing the whole time you squeezed the turbo at the end. Hard to imagine the life of engines on road being "tuned" to live like that.
Always love the awkward long pause at the "subscribe here" parts of Banks videos. It makes me feel like when I notice after hours that my fly has been open. 😉
Gale just answered a couple of questions my father and I were hypothesizing on with regards to turbine drive pressure vs compressor output and it's negative effect on power/heat production. We formulated the hypothesis that more boost is not synonymous with more power. We don't have a great way to experiment, or test our prediction. This video is pretty much spot on for this particular experiment. Thanks BANK'S!
After the part two video I was thinking “You’re telling me the turbo is done and I believe you’re probably right, but how do you know that?” Then comes this video. This is fascinating! Looking forward to more.
Learning so much from Gale and his crew. I liken it to sitting around the shop years ago on a Saturday, listening to my fathers friends share kabitz and secrets about flow dynamics while talking engines. Man, the memories. Thanks for doing videos like this, and like your others. Like you, I love this stuff. Keep it coming.
Gale Banks is to Engineering as what David Attenborough is to Planet Earth. What would be cool is a series narrated by Gale, on the history of power. I would OWN that box set.
Fascinating. Explains how drag racers can get short-term power gains so easily, but those setups don’t last for road course use, or even on the street in many cases.
You sir are a one of a kind human my hat is off to you and there’s not a doubt in anybody’s mind how much fun you have teaching us about our duramax engines every thing that I know about them I’ve learned from you thank you mr. banks for spreading all of your knowledge it is greatly appreciated sir👊
Also the vgt provides drive pressure for the EGR to flow but I didn't have to tell mr banks that.😅 Very informative I love watching this unfold. I wish I could thumbs up more!
Holy shit , I have been studying everything I can for years on gas turbocharged engines ,have had several over the years and own a high hp big block Chevy now but I feel like a cave man who stumbled on a university course , Thanks Gale for all you have done are doing now .
Great work Banks! I'm seeing a need for a better water pump along with the bigger turbo. I'm guessing the water pump is causing cavitation thus the drop in flow
Really appreciate everything you do at Banks Power, Gale has so much knowledge hidden away in his head, there are countless hours of just stories he could tell that would teach people a thing or two. If you guys ever do a Q&A, please ask Gale what he knows about Lake X and Mercury.
I have a L5P in my 2018 2500HD. And I love watching your channel and trying to understand my engine. Keep up the great work and looking to get the cold air filter for my truck.
Love your videos and in-depth knowledge. Watching these videos, seeing your attention to detail, and pushing the limits in a orthodox way was the reason we purchased a Banks Programmer instead of the competition.
Very interesting!!! Need a bigger turbo on that Duramax. I wish Gale Banks would test a compound turbo setup on the LP5 Duramax. I love watching all Gale Banks RUclips videos.
Really nice presentation. The engine was very happy at 3000 rpm, 750 ft*lbs. I paused the video and found the compressor efficiency on one of the other gauges, and it was 77%. That is a great efficiency number for a compressor. Then when they closed down the VG to boost higher, the compressor efficiency went into the toilet: 61%. And the turbine inlet temp went from 1180F to 1450F. Gale wasn't kidding when he said the turbo was "done". Can't wait to see what he comes up with for a better turbo.
It's a little funny because he wants to kill the engine, but also is protecting it of a failure. This is an interesting series of videos. I love how Banks explains everything about what is happening with the engine.
Engine Masters is actually logging a lot of additional information in their tests they're just not saying it on cammera probably because they need to fit into a 20-minute spot; it does disappoint me though. I love the show and i check constantly for new ones on MTOD
My old VW TDI had a Garrett VNT-15 with the variable geometry vanes. It was pretty cool. They failed a lot under tuning because VW chose the tiniest turbo they could get away with, but I never saw the VNT system fail.
Sounds like the type of parameters you would need to know when designing a Rocket engine and fuel management to go to the moon. Id say this man thoroughly understands every aspect of turbocharging any engine. Where as most mechanics just bolt one on and see how much boost they could build till the engine dies. To look at hundreds of parameters and understand how they affect engine performance, longevity, Fuel burn, etc. is the sign of a genius engineer. This man forgot more than most will ever know.
This man has forgotten more than most of the so called “tuners” out there will ever know. A lot of old timers and “old school” builders use that term as a crutch so they don’t have to learn new technology or have to keep up. Gale Banks is out front of it. That’s the way to be.
I’d like to see them mess with an old 6.2 diesel again I know they used to make turbo kits for them that worked pretty decent I’d like to see what they could do now with one of those old Detroit rattlers now. I used to drive one at work that had 250,000 miles on it was A pretty good old truck as long as you wasn’t in a hurry. I used to have some neighbors that had two suburbans with those banks set ups on them they drove those things for ever and still have them as back up vehicles they both have the banks turbo set up. Awesome video !
Always heard of Banks but never knew about the man himself. After watching several videos and his teachings and knowledge I feel much more confident about the banks products installed on my dodge Cummins I just bought. Well the only thing on there is a Banks monster ram intake horn. Either way Mr. Banks thank you 😊
This is way over my head! Sure am glad they're smarter people on this planet than me! LOL can't wait to see how far he can push it before he drops it crank on the floor.
I've been in the diesel field for 30 years, and this knowledge he's sharing is just a huge gift. I had to watch a couple of sections over, just so I could grasp the concept clearly. Thanks, Mr Banks.

Pornhub could learn a few things from Gale Banks.
🤣🤣🤣
Me too! Lol so hard Wife wanted to know what I was watching!
You're probably looking for the Gale Banks informational video series on Strokers.
Gale Banks is my turbodiesel hero! The man is pure mechanical genius. Thank you for sharing, sir!
This is so informative to watch!
Thanks Mr Bank's for teaching us👍
Mr. Banks is my professional hero! After all his accomplishments and all the years he still has the passion for what he does. Thanks for the inspiration and instruction!
This is the most informative video about turbocharging I've ever seen, period.
Welp, time to go boot up Automation.
The Duramax is an incredibly strong engine. I had a GMC 2002 CREW CAB LONG BOX. PUT 435000 miles on over 11 years and its is still going strong yet today so I am told. It pulled a 5th wheel trailer 37 ft. most of it's life. Just an amazing engine. Waiting for the next step. Thanks
I have worked on diesel engines all my life. Now I am learning how they SHOULD work.
The depth of instrumentation and science behind it is absolutely diabolical ! Can not wait for the next episode. Thanks Gale.
This is fascinating and I’ve learned more about turbos in these two videos than every book I’ve read.
"It's the bomb" Gale Banks - 4/19/19
I could listen to this man till the end of time!! So informative, so over my head LOL!! Can't wait for the next video Mr. Banks!!
As a first time diesel owner ('19 3500HD), I am learning more from these vids than from any other source I have researched. Information is presented in a way that is easy to understand. Thank you!

I learned more in 18 min than my entire senior year or high school!! Thank you Mr. Banks Respect!!
Always love the awkward long pause at the "subscribe here" parts of Banks videos. It makes me feel like when I notice after hours that my fly has been open. 😉
Now he’s the sort of guy we could all do with being around!
Thank you for your valuable time.
That's one of the best videos about tuning that I ever see in my life!
Damn, I've been praying for a video series like this for YEARS. And I cant believe its taken me till nearly a year afterwards to find it.
You'll have to catch up! We're just about to record a new episode!
I cannot wait for Banks Power to start R&D on the 2.8L Duramax. Thank you for all the knowledge Mr. Banks.
Gale just answered a couple of questions my father and I were hypothesizing on with regards to turbine drive pressure vs compressor output and it's negative effect on power/heat production.

Your welcome, stay tuned for more videos by Prof. Gale Banks at Awesome Auto Knowledge University.
After the part two video I was thinking “You’re telling me the turbo is done and I believe you’re probably right, but how do you know that?” Then comes this video. This is fascinating! Looking forward to more.
Great fun Gale thanks for taking us along - us gear heads eat this stuff up!!!
Super Video !
Gale never ever stops thinkin’ !!!
Guys like him are what make the world go ‘round !
Mr banks you remind me of my old auto shop teacher in school, you know your stuff and how to teach it. Love watching you explain all these things.
I wish Mr. Gale Banks was a professor at my school. Would be really cool.
Learning so much from Gale and his crew. I liken it to sitting around the shop years ago on a Saturday, listening to my fathers friends share kabitz and secrets about flow dynamics while talking engines. Man, the memories.

I appreciate your willingness to teach us all the little things I never knew about thank you for all the awesome work
Thanks for supporting team Banks. Remember, knowledge is power.
I have never learned so much so fast in my life.
Fascinating. Explains how drag racers can get short-term power gains so easily, but those setups don’t last for road course use, or even on the street in many cases.
When Gale Banks says "I'm going to teach you some things", I listen.
You sir are a one of a kind human my hat is off to you and there’s not a doubt in anybody’s mind how much fun you have teaching us about our duramax engines every thing that I know about them I’ve learned from you thank you mr. banks for spreading all of your knowledge it is greatly appreciated sir👊
What a guy! Thanks for the series.
This video series should be mandatory viewing for every school teacher. This is how you teach folks!!!!
Also the vgt provides drive pressure for the EGR to flow but I didn't have to tell mr banks that.😅 Very informative I love watching this unfold. I wish I could thumbs up more!
Wow mr.banks is an amazing man, teaching everyone so much! Not only Pre moting his product But teaching us what not to do!
Holy shit , I have been studying everything I can for years on gas turbocharged engines ,have had several over the years and own a high hp big block Chevy now but I feel like a cave man who stumbled on a university course , Thanks Gale for all you have done are doing now .
Listening to Master Banks speak is like taking in a sermon.. and I'm also glad I've not wacked a tuner box into my turbo diesel.
Epic video as ever, always learning something new from the Legend that is Mr Banks. Wish there was more helpful people like this in the tuning world.
Great work Banks! I'm seeing a need for a better water pump along with the bigger turbo. I'm guessing the water pump is causing cavitation thus the drop in flow
Hook line sinker IM HOOKED! Like the info your sharing. Really interesting
Thanks Gale i personally have leared a lot, these are the questions i have asked for years and no one has given me any kind of answer it helps a lot.
Great, we love to hear that people are learning. For us, knowledge=power. Stay tuned for more great content.
Thank you so much for making these videos mr. TURBO, appreciated by millions.
That's Mr. Godfather of Turbocharging. 😉
Banks Power uhhhhh sorry that’s MR.FREAKIN TURBO too us peons. That could be a shirt......lol.
Banks Power in Hindi it’s gudfuder,,,,,,,lol
Good stuff Gale!! I used to hear about you all the time when I was in SoCal. All the boat guys talking about you.
Really appreciate everything you do at Banks Power, Gale has so much knowledge hidden away in his head, there are countless hours of just stories he could tell that would teach people a thing or two.

it may come to that. if this short block outlasts the next turbo he puts on it
Very informative Gale. Love how you take what's seems complicated and explain it for easy understanding. Way to go! Love the series!
Thanks for watching. We have more on the way!
Mr. Banks knows how to do social media. It's great to see him in front of the camera and sharing his infinite knowledge.

Looks like I will be binge watching these videos 👍👍👍👍
It's a little funny because he wants to kill the engine, but also is protecting it of a failure. This is an interesting series of videos. I love how Banks explains everything about what is happening with the engine.
Absolutely love this series!!!
making engine masters look like preschool. some deep knowledge
Engine Masters is actually logging a lot of additional information in their tests they're just not saying it on cammera probably because they need to fit into a 20-minute spot; it does disappoint me though. I love the show and i check constantly for new ones on MTOD
Yeah find it a little hard to watch now, I give them some credit as they are not engineers, but definitely school boy stuff
I love this old coot, I hope we have many more years of him sharing his knowledge with us.
Gale- I love the absolute truth you and the I dash show! Thanks for the great video!
love the level of education - one of the best channels for learning
Gale keep it coming! I've watched all your stuff. So awesome how you break it down. This is legit
I really enjoy following the series of the L5P. Definitely learning a lot from these videos. Love the cheesy outros too. thank you MR Banks
Great as always Mr. Banks. This is an eye opener
I’m not a diesel guy but the way he breaks things down is very interesting.
MORE, MORE MORE, My brain is like a sponge, it just craves this stuff.
These videos are awesome, keep em coming.
My old VW TDI had a Garrett VNT-15 with the variable geometry vanes. It was pretty cool. They failed a lot under tuning because VW chose the tiniest turbo they could get away with, but I never saw the VNT system fail.
I wish I knew as much as Gale has forgotten about diesels. What a smart man. Would love to see what he thinks of the new Cummins
This is so awesome...admittedly you guys are talking about stuff way outside of my pay grade
You would have to have variable blades on the wheel not vanes to go farther. You have reached limit of technology. New revolutionary turbo.
Thank you Mr. Banks for these informative videos. I am learning lots.
Sounds like the type of parameters you would need to know when designing a Rocket engine and fuel management to go to the moon.

Those multi gauges are bloody brilliant
That instrument panel is awesome. I couldn’t read the damn thing but its cool.
I feel like I just got out of my favorite class in school! Smart man for sure
Leaning so much, thank you Mr Banks.
Wow now this is a class. Outstanding job Mr Banks!
Smart and seen about everything pertaining to engines during his life. And a super nice guy.
Thanks MR. power for the great video

This series is great Gale. Highly informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! Looking forward to Pt 4 🔥🔥
Information is power!! Diesel Rocks!!
Wow MR Banks Thankyou for the lesson this video was suggested to me by a mate and he told me I may learn something he was so right I’ve just subd
I’d like to see them mess with an old 6.2 diesel again I know they used to make turbo kits for them that worked pretty decent I’d like to see what they could do now with one of those old Detroit rattlers now. I used to drive one at work that had 250,000 miles on it was A pretty good old truck as long as you wasn’t in a hurry. I used to have some neighbors that had two suburbans with those banks set ups on them they drove those things for ever and still have them as back up vehicles they both have the banks turbo set up. Awesome video !
They last, problem is they just dont make the power. A 7.3 would be faster and haul more. 6.2s are turds its just facts
And another video which requires undivided attention!!!
The info u have is worth a pretty penny to tuners.. I'd love for u to build me an engine some day
Keep em coming!!! 👍🏻
Excellent video Mr.Banks
Always heard of Banks but never knew about the man himself. After watching several videos and his teachings and knowledge I feel much more confident about the banks products installed on my dodge Cummins I just bought. Well the only thing on there is a Banks monster ram intake horn. Either way Mr. Banks thank you 😊
Thanks guys great video
This is way over my head! Sure am glad they're smarter people on this planet than me! LOL can't wait to see how far he can push it before he drops it crank on the floor.
I would love to see this analysis of the Cummins and Ford diesels as well. I learned a lot from this.
I find it hard to believe that he's at least 76 years old and still doing this stuff. That's the sign of a true enthusiast.
Fantastic information! You are power genius,Mr.Banks!
