First Startup of our Supercharged Duramax Engine (most responsive engine we’ve ever heard!)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Over a year in the making... LokJaw roars to life. "I've never had an engine that responds like this," says Gale Banks with a smile from ear to ear. "High-compression big block Chevy with a blower. This guy is the champion." Here’s your chance to hear the first of our forthcoming series of high-performance diesel turnkey (crate) engines. The exhaust note from all modern diesel engines is dampened by a turbo. There is no turbo to reduce the sound from this engine. The exhaust exits the engine through a set of custom headers, into a collector, and out to the world via twin Banks 5” Monster Exhausts. After Banks calibrator Jeff Lee tunes the engine, we'll be hitting the road. Subscribe so you don't miss any tire smoke.

That's why I recommend people have a hobby they are passionate about ready to go before they retire. When you stop doing and start sitting, that's when things start sucking the life out of you. Also, it is a vulnerable time and post retirement depression can get you if you find yourself not knowing what to do with yourself.

Mr Banks and his team has set a bar so high those cummings and powerstroke fellas will be left scratching there heads down to the bone trying to copy this setup!! Well done! Well done!

Uh why would anyone with a cummins or powerstroke want to copy this? Im sure with a little searching you can find cummins and powerstrokes that have been supercharged, maybe not with this much investment and technology involved but nonetheless. I can guarantee no matter what "numbers this monster is going to put down". There are multiple cummins and powerstrokes that put down more. No I don't hate duramax or any other diesel brand but I can guarantee that this isn't going to do anything special as far as numbers go.

Manufacturers are interested in fuel efficiency, meeting EPA regulations, and meeting warranty cost limits, and therefor have absolutely no interest in supercharging... And to get absolute peak horsepower, you get further with turbocharging because the power you use to drive the supercharger is taken from the crankshaft, which is therefor loaded higher than a turbocharged engine with the same horsepower. I.e. mechanical strength limits are met sooner with supercharging than with turbocharging.

@@jbowen1831 Well I disagree totally. While there are many diesels that may appear to match or exceed the power output of Bank’s diesel, they will do so with heavy smoke and high EGT’s, and almost none will have the throttle response of this monster. This engine has what I call predictable, reliable power and torque, while maintaining longevity. No other diesel builder designs this much longevity and reliability while building an engine. Extreme thought and care was given to this build, while most builders think that smoke is the way to show power, all while flushing efficiency down the toilet.. Banks is the best and will continue to be the best. Banks didn’t say this would put out the most, because lots of other builders have more powerful engines, but they get destroyed in multiple runs. Have you heard the term heat-soaked? That’s because there’s not enough air density to cool the whole intake system and powertrain, and the excess heat from combustion radiates through the entire engine, eventually robbing power from it. I’m sure Bank’s diesel will have repeatable numbers time after time after time on the track and won’t suffer much from heat soaking.
That gentleman is a national treasure, America. Enjoy and respect him.

As a teenager of the 80's and an avid Motorweek fan, to this day remember I believe a segment on a Bank's turbo GMC Suburban. It was instant love at first sight.....
This engine will change the duramax world forever, I want to see it in action now!
That might be the best sounding diesel I've ever heard! I'm a "gas engine" guy, don't get me wrong, I do like & respect most diesel engines. I just never really cared for the low rpm's of diesel engines. But now this engine, "sounds" like is revving up to gas engine rpm levels. Great job Gail and team! I bet that was a nerve racking moment for your team during that first startup! 😅

In case there was any doubt at all that Gale was born with a wrench in his hand, seeing him get choked up hearing this monster roar puts that to rest.
How long has it been since Gale had the same feeling from something he built? Ever? Seeing him so stoked makes me stoked. Ya think we could rent him? Just to hang out with. Lol
Holy cow! I've been waiting for this for SO long! That was incredible! My goal is to someday have one of these crate engines in an early 2000s 8-lug Suburban sending power to all four wheels through an AWD transfer case. That would be EPIC!

That was the most Badass sounding diesel ever! Duramax/Banks
absolutely insane! I love it. been waiting for an update and was not disappointed. amazing craftsmanship across the board. cant wait to see what it does on the first drive.
It's a great sound and super throttle response for any motor, although unexpected from a diesel... but this is a Banks project so surprises are no surprise.
Iv heard diesels before big engines sounding strong and insane but this sounds angry awesome angry it sound better than most petrol engines
That is one happy guy. That face and reaction is priceless
Gales expressions were priceless, his commentary was as honest as I have ever heard. It’s amazing all the preparation and engineering that has went into this project, but when it actually runs and works, it makes it all worth while. Mr Banks is my engineering hero. Thanks so much for sharing your time and videos.
Mr Banks knows his stuff, he’s no bragging guy but just a realistic and down to earth person. Hats off for Mr Banks
Yes build it and they will come. Mr Banks you are The Godfather!
Gale is the reason I will from now on look at Banks products first, such a cool and geniune dude.
It was great to hear that a couple Aussie motorsport brands (Motec & Turbosmart) were used in this fabulous build.
I didn't know Banks was out there up to this madness... love it.

Sounds amazing. You can actually hear the true Duramax exhaust note. Instead of hearing a Turbo. Also I hope Banks develops a Centrifugal Super Charged kit also because those pro chargers sound Kool too.

@@MV-ri7zu That’s not how that works. It’s not like a turbo where you build full boost pressure at a set rpm. Centrifugal superchargers all build boost directly linear to engine rpm. If you put a super small pulley to build boost early it would either destroy itself when it got to higher rpm’s or the pulley would slip, whichever came first.
Gale has been doing this so long that it is so awesome to see him get that excited! Super impressive!
Been waiting for a few months to see this one!

Gale Banks is an American Hero. Sadly I am probably gonna be team electric from here on out for lower OPEX but damn, it will never give me the visceral love this engine just did. also I love my tuner/throttle setup in my diesel gladiator. Thanks Banks!
You know you have something special when Gale chokes for a second. Seeing how elated he is for this engine. I guess its true if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life.
