I think polished ties in with lots of the other trim on the car and gives the most contrast to the state of the body, maybe polish the valvecovers as well? Really cool project none the less!
Please go to the SEMA website and sign the RPM act. This all goes away if the EPA keeps shutting down shops. Please don’t let them take away the passion of people that treat their cars as an extension of themselves instead of an appliance.
Customer - "Gail How many hours you charge to make an intake?" Gail - "100hr minimum for sure (proceeds to talk for 10hrs explaining). 😂 Man knows his shit though
I've always loved watching Banks build engines, I have never perceived any of his engines to be particularly polluting or particularly fuel inefficient. I'm not saying that they're particularly efficient but I love this builds they always builds clean engines and clean vehicles...
This truck is incredible! The build is progressing so well, and I'm so excited to see it when it's done! I love the raw conversion between Gale and the team, too! He's such a wealth of knowledge, and it's a pleasure to listen to him talk about his incredible, past successes and to apply it to this build! I'd like to see more videos on the Sidewinder, too! That truck looks epic, and it would be cool to see how its track times compare to modern, performance vehicles! Also, I got my decals in today, and I hope to get some shipped out to you this weekend!
just an option for the build, that front brace that holds the radiator should be redesigned to have radiator tucked in forward and the filter housings also put into the that brace and instead one big opening like the race truck have three compartments to scoop air and to seal off the nose to keep that ram air idea. like have the side compartments for filters, oil cooler and trans cooler, the middle for the radiator and condenser but still have fresh air to keep under the hood from having trapped heated air . that brace can be part of the package for more of a direct bolt on and utilized how wide the truck is instead of packing everything in the middle . plus the bumper can be extended taller up to the headlights to keep the stock bumper lines, and to close that empty gap between the grill and bumper, and have enough area to make those holes to force alot of air in. just so the engine bay can look spacious and simple but also be able to drive cross country in any part of the country without any temp issues. plus to keep all the lines and wires out of one area, for ease of routing, servicing and lower the chance of vibration rub. Hopefully this make sense. Big fan Gale keep doing what you doin, just wish I knew what your doing earlier! you make the coolerest stuff. to answer your question, Red, Black with some polish in between to make it pop.
Reminds me of the V12 E-Type story. They ended up with a funnel with a long small diameter hose for cooling air. It couldn't sustain high speeds without overheating. One Jaguar project around the time of the E-Type was a single plane for mounting accessories and driving from crankshaft. I don't remember why, but it was before serpentines and so maybe reducing multi-level pulley's. They still had a problem with driving it and gave up.
Regarding the twin air intakes and the belt housing. You could make a very large somewhat triangle shaped box to cover up those components to make everything looked connected somehow as part of the whole engine package. Something along the lines of the Dodge Ram TRX air box but much more nicer and functional from the Supercharger to the radiator And the on the top of the cover are very large bold letters of "BANKS" on it. As for the radiator, you may end up creating some kind of enclosed blower radiator fan box to keep air moving in and out of it to help with the temps of the engine. Anyways that just my thought as those guys were discussing it. Keep on trucking with this project.
As for the cooling system/radiator clearance issues, you could do what I ended up doing with my turbocharged 72 F100 and put a remote "volume" tank at the rear ( where weight is good ). I fed it from a custom double thermostat housing and back into the heater return port on the water pump. The extra volume made a massive difference when under boost and allowed me to run a slim radiator and standard fan placement.
Loving the build! My 2-cents on the filter placement, mount the filters horizontally on either side of the rad , angled toward the blower inlet, similar to the race truck setup. Build an enclosure where Mr. Banks plans to mount the filters to ram-air to the horizontal filters-should also solve the rain water concerns. Thank you for video!
Gale, you could take away a good part of the load of the cooling systems by "turbocompounding" the cooling system. Wright captured extra horsepower for their R-3350 Duplex Cyclone engine by "turbocompounding" it: they captured energy a second time. Turbines captured the energy in exhaust gases and fed the power to the crankshaft. Heat is energy, heat is power. Don't just make one grab at the engine's energy (via pistons, rods and crank), capture the energy a second time, the energy contained in the coolant. For example, actually _let_ the cooling water change state (boil), store the pressurized steam, then apply the power you have captured by putting it back into the driveline with another "engine". Then all the cooling you need is a small condenser rather than a massive radiator. Two problems licked with one solution. :-)
Thanks for watching. If you want more data-driven shows like this, our other series Killing a Duramax and Build a Monster Truck Engine are great. Killing a Duramax: ruclips.net/video/iBoyW2e0ra0/видео.html Build a Monster Truck Engine: ruclips.net/video/Cjnl67QI6nU/видео.html
I'd be curious about isolating a top rear corner of the firewall and running cowl induction. That Mini Cooper S sitting in the parking lot is a good example of that, it has both the air port from above the radiator but a second hole from the air box back into that isolated area in the firewall where some electronics live so the driver really gets that awesome supercharger induction sound. It also keeps the engine from ingesting heat from the radiator while you're stopped.
If you have a vortex bias on the inlet to the canister the filters in, it should also pull any rain or even dust away from the filter with the centrifugal forces. May reduce some of the ram air effectiveness though.
Cleatus and james will surely help with the 6 inch to 5 inch transfer since they are partnered with motion race works a nice billet piece would look good
Please use the hood holes as the forced air intake maybe use a huge rectangle filter that'll open with the hood. Secondly when cutting the bumper make rectangular holes to match the hood but have a chrome mesh to hide it from a distance but seen up close.
I drive a Honda (I know, I know... But it was free so free car kinda wins)... But the amount of knowledge Gale has is incredible! (Can we get a pedal monster for a v6 accord? 😁)
If you set the front splitter way back, make it black so its harder to see, it'll be able to force air up into the radiator/air filters whilst leaving the bumper for pure aesthetics. Might be a tad restricted though due to the lay.
Hmm you['re running out of room fast.. I'd have two suggestions. 1) go with a wider radiator over thicker and enlarge the hole. It'll give more room for fans and the blower pulley but still have better cooling. 2) ditch the water to air cooler for the intake and just run the AC condenser.. and pipe that in in place of the cooler in the intake and use the non-freon refrigerant to cool it. If you did it right you could actually keep the intake air temp at close to 34F so it's as cold as it can stand without icing up.
If the blower peaking through the hood, put the filters right in the blower intake. If its going to be under the hood, hide it. It's not a sleeper if people can see it.
As I'm doing an American v8 engine, transmission, rear end into a Japanese sports car in my one car garage...damn I'd love to be able to scan and digitize everything into CAD.
I have a 1961 that I put a LBZ in I used a fire wall and trans tunnel out of 2006 3500 it fit very and i used all the hydro boost and gas pedal as well
ducts off the rear of the radiator to the each side exiting from the wheel arch as an air curtain in front of the tire (à la porsche’s recent patents) to keep the supercharger pulley clear...
Transmission issues? Gale we all know you should call up Richard at precision transmission in Amarillo. We know he would build a unit that will probably never die.
Electric cooling fans. Not only will it make it easier to fit them, it will be easier to cool the engine after slowing down, stopping since it won't be tied to engine rpm.
Sorry (not sorry) this is off topic, but PLEASE tell me you're working on a Derringer and Pedal Monster for the Banks Power "SIZE SML" R53! I would add my name to the waiting list in a heartbeat! Keep up the great work!
Here is the latest update: 1. The Super Turbo (Monster Truck Engine) is in the process of being upgraded, which means pulling everything off the current 7.0 LMM block, making adjustments and changes, then installing them all on a newer first-gen L5P block. Also, bringing it back to the dyno cell is on hold while we conduct testing for our military program in Dyno Cell # 1. 2. Dyno Cell # 2 for “Killing a Duramax” is down while we update and upgrade to our new engine AVL dyno/emissions equipment.
@@bankspower Thank you for the update, and I do appreciate all that you do! Have been a believer in the Banks knowledge from the early nineties when I got my first turbo. Now I make my own turbo modifications and stock ecu programming. All started from reading what some dude named Gale Banks had written. Greets from Finland
9:37 What ever happened to the streamliner that Gale bought from Harry Hoffman a bunch of years ago? I understood he had his eye on the unlimited diesel record.
They took ten inches out of the sides of the cab? So from my understanding they created a reverse widebody, narrowing the cab and leaving the fenders and bedsides wide around the wheels?
Why can't you raise the center portion of the hood just enough that it clears the blower and the air plumbing ? You could even use the vertical space to vent heat out of the eng. compartment .
So, are 'yall gonna back the RPM act, too? Has the EPA come knocking on your door yet for not using ALL of the emissions equipment this engine is supposed to have on it and modifying it beyond its factory configuration?
We among many other manufactures support the RPM Act. However, in this instance, Federal emissions laws currently state that pre-1975 trucks are emissions exempt which includes our 1966 Chevy C20 (which did not come with nor required emissions equipment). The crate engines that we will be offering based on this Duramax will be for pre-1975 vehicle repower, offroad racing, marine applications, and certain military applications.
I really wish people would try harder to not just cut holes in hoods. It is the easy ugly way out. It would be awesome if this truck could have a cowl hood that looked factory instead of holes with crap hanging out.
Yes it's in Cali. Our 1966 Chevy pickup is a pre-emissions vehicle. In other words, California does not require emissions equipment on vehicles older than 1975. So, this truck is exempt
I mean, I'm still watching. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Thank you for your efforts. I happen to be more of a technically minded viewer, less of a shop drama viewer. Cheers.
@@burntorangeak ....The question here is, if you don't like the particular episode, why watch and then bitch about it in the comments? Do yourself a favor and hit the "forward" button.
I dont.like using a plasma if you plan on welding to the cut. The slag needs to be cleaned off if you want a clean sheetmetal job afterwards. A sawzall is really boon dock but if you can measure accurately it leaves a really nice job for welding later. For steel its not really critical but toothed saw is a way cleaner cut for everything that isnt steel.
Here is the latest update for both. The Super Turbo (Monster Truck Engine) is in the process of being upgraded, which means pulling everything off the current 7.0 LMM block, making adjustments and changes, then installing them all on a newer first-gen L5P block .Dyno Cell # 2 for “Killing a Duramax” is down while we update and upgrade to our new engine AVL dyno/emissions equipment. Also, bringing it back to both dyno cells is on hold while we conduct testing for our military program. As of now, we do not have an ETA.
Mr. Banks are you aware of the EPA's assault taking place on the aftermarket industry and the people developing marketing, and selling these components. Issuing huge fines to shops that sell and install these parts, are being issued as I type this comment in hopes of getting you in on the conflict at the beginning. Because with your beliefs in clean air making big power from diesel engines, and your mechanical engineering background your exactly what the one's under attack by the government needs. That and you're probably in their sights as well, and I don't think your defense contracts will have any sway in keeping the wolves from you're doors either. So might as well join sema, and the rest of the industry that you've devoted your life to, fight for survival.
If you were willing to use other materials, you could use carbon feebray with soric and laminate wood for cabinets to give the appearance of wood (because it is) but only a 1/16 thick adhered to the composite. Small self tappers would hold the metal strips and you would save north of 200 pounds on the hydraulic requirements. As well as eliminate the need for a double floors to hide the bolts. Paint it whatever you want, will look like metal.
You don't have to stay so narrow. Push your cooling box out to the headlights on either side. If you really want more space, gear drive the supercharger in the rear off the ring gear. You will gain at least 3 inches in the front. Gear drives don't slip. Put a sacrificial billet aluminum keyway and run it.
What color should we paint the Whipple Supercharger and intake tubing? Black, red or polished aluminum?
RED♥️♥️♥️
I think polished ties in with lots of the other trim on the car and gives the most contrast to the state of the body, maybe polish the valvecovers as well? Really cool project none the less!
Black is timeless
Black 🖤 sinister and clean looking
Red with White lettering

He's gone beyond the measure twice cut once.
There's the wrong way and the Banks way.
So I guess when the EPA shows up at Banks and asks "who's stuff are you tuning" he just responds "yours"
I always wondered if banks would get a pass. And if banks would use his pull to help us car guys out on the hill.
not all U.S. parts...U.S. assembled..yes

Just fantastic to see Gale's enthusiasm for the engineering
Same here. Gale loves talking tech all the time. He can't stop, it's awesome!
One of the reasons i love this channel :)
To bad they will sell out to the government soon enough and care even less about the little guy and small shops

When that cab dropped down… WOW… now I can 100% see what you’re into and it looks RAD!

Interesting ideas Mr. Banks. This is going to be a super bad ass truck...
You know it, we love these builds. Diesel and Badassery!
When Erik aired it out.. Damn that's gonna be a sick ride!
Regarding the twin air intakes and the belt housing.
You could make a very large somewhat triangle shaped box to cover up those components to make everything looked connected somehow as part of the whole engine package.
Something along the lines of the Dodge Ram TRX air box but much more nicer and functional from the Supercharger to the radiator
And the on the top of the cover are very large bold letters of "BANKS" on it.
As for the radiator, you may end up creating some kind of enclosed blower radiator fan box to keep air moving in and out of it to help with the temps of the engine.
Anyways that just my thought as those guys were discussing it.
Keep on trucking with this project.
As for the cooling system/radiator clearance issues, you could do what I ended up doing with my turbocharged 72 F100 and put a remote "volume" tank at the rear ( where weight is good ).

Help us out with the rpm act
It is never too late to move the engine back 4-6 inches. Helps the CG and makes more room.
God, this truck just keeps getting cooler and cooler!!! Can't wait to hear it run! (:
It's going to be awesome. We can't wait either.
I love how Gale shows up with printed pictures to show what he has done in the past.
I'd go with Bank's red, because the truck itself has a lot of dark contrast to it, you know, to make the engine bay pop.

5:31 ... When the cab hits the chassis in the right spot. Oof 😍
Exactly.
Gale should drive Lokjaw in Rocky Mountain Race Week 2022.
We may just do that. We plan to take it on tour next year.
Thoughts on EPA clean air act now they are going after You Tubers and garages so aggressively now
Polished aluminum is the way to go!!!!
Mind blowing..crazy build🤩
Glad you like it
(18:35) Discussion of radiator as a "recovery device" (19:50) is worth long contemplation. Gale suggests that thick radiator may NOT be best.
Honestly I'd put the radiator, AC and intercooler in the bed and make a huge air box for the intake.
I'd be curious about isolating a top rear corner of the firewall and running cowl induction. That Mini Cooper S sitting in the parking lot is a good example of that, it has both the air port from above the radiator but a second hole from the air box back into that isolated area in the firewall where some electronics live so the driver really gets that awesome supercharger induction sound. It also keeps the engine from ingesting heat from the radiator while you're stopped.
If you have a vortex bias on the inlet to the canister the filters in, it should also pull any rain or even dust away from the filter with the centrifugal forces. May reduce some of the ram air effectiveness though.
Cleatus and james will surely help with the 6 inch to 5 inch transfer since they are partnered with motion race works a nice billet piece would look good
Please use the hood holes as the forced air intake maybe use a huge rectangle filter that'll open with the hood. Secondly when cutting the bumper make rectangular holes to match the hood but have a chrome mesh to hide it from a distance but seen up close.
I drive a Honda (I know, I know... But it was free so free car kinda wins)...
But the amount of knowledge Gale has is incredible!
(Can we get a pedal monster for a v6 accord? 😁)
Just so you know Mr. Banks.... some of did notice the 30'stanley measuring tape 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Spal makes fans with brushless motors that are quite a bit thinner than regular ones in case you weren't already aware.
I have chrysler sebring fans on my corvette powered S10. They are the thinest I found. I used the sebring shroud on a Griffen aluminum 17x31 radiator.
BadAss Boys. I’m Loving It.
Put a smiley cut out in bumper under each headlight.
Then use those for the vertical divert to airfilter
If you set the front splitter way back, make it black so its harder to see, it'll be able to force air up into the radiator/air filters whilst leaving the bumper for pure aesthetics. Might be a tad restricted though due to the lay.

ducts off the rear of the radiator to the each side exiting from the wheel arch as an air curtain in front of the tire (à la porsche’s recent patents) to keep the supercharger pulley clear...
Love Gale, but I laugh every time he says ATS.
What about the DCT used in the GT500 for the road race truck's transmission?

Here is the latest update:

Why can't you tuck the radiator under the core supt. ? This would also gain some room for the air intake .
Why can't you raise the center portion of the hood just enough that it clears the blower and the air plumbing ? You could even use the vertical space to vent heat out of the eng. compartment .
Could have made someone’s day giving them that miiint cab for their half decent one that you’re bucking up nyway
The EPA is about to hand you a law suit just so you know
Emissions equipment is not required on a 1966 pickup, federally or locally.
I wonder if there's a 'golden estimate' for X amount of surface per HP in a turbo, blower and a N/A setup
When the derringer for RAM trucks will be available?
Polished aluminium
At speed radiator cooling is one thing, what about burnouts!
So, are 'yall gonna back the RPM act, too? Has the EPA come knocking on your door yet for not using ALL of the emissions equipment this engine is supposed to have on it and modifying it beyond its factory configuration?

Here is the latest update for both. The Super Turbo (Monster Truck Engine) is in the process of being upgraded, which means pulling everything off the current 7.0 LMM block, making adjustments and changes, then installing them all on a newer first-gen L5P block .Dyno Cell # 2 for “Killing a Duramax” is down while we update and upgrade to our new engine AVL dyno/emissions equipment. Also, bringing it back to both dyno cells is on hold while we conduct testing for our military program. As of now, we do not have an ETA.
@@bankspower thanks for the update much appreciated
Sounds like micky mouse 🐁 on the hood.
Mr. Banks are you aware of the EPA's assault taking place on the aftermarket industry and the people developing marketing, and selling these components.
Issuing huge fines to shops that sell and install these parts, are being issued as I type this comment in hopes of getting you in on the conflict at the beginning.
Because with your beliefs in clean air making big power from diesel engines, and your mechanical engineering background your exactly what the one's under attack by the government needs.
That and you're probably in their sights as well, and I don't think your defense contracts will have any sway in keeping the wolves from you're doors either.
So might as well join sema, and the rest of the industry that you've devoted your life to, fight for survival.
Here's a possible solution for the transmission for the race truck ruclips.net/video/uiOWTsS3jUY/видео.html
I hate janky ish bought time ....
First?
If you were willing to use other materials, you could use carbon feebray with soric and laminate wood for cabinets to give the appearance of wood (because it is) but only a 1/16 thick adhered to the composite. Small self tappers would hold the metal strips and you would save north of 200 pounds on the hydraulic requirements. As well as eliminate the need for a double floors to hide the bolts. Paint it whatever you want, will look like metal.
You don't have to stay so narrow. Push your cooling box out to the headlights on either side. If you really want more space, gear drive the supercharger in the rear off the ring gear. You will gain at least 3 inches in the front. Gear drives don't slip. Put a sacrificial billet aluminum keyway and run it.
