Gale Banks Reacts to HOONIGAN 1,000 HP Compound Turbo Duramax Diesel

Hi, I'm Gail Banks this morning, my Facebook messages were going crazy, have you seen the video, have you seen the video, the full Eagan video, the

diesel

, this, the, I'm going to go, one of these guys on Long Beach, up to what's going on? Well, apparently they're putting LBZ Duramax

diesel

s with

compound

turbo

s in a fifth-generation Camaro in hopes of hitting 200 miles per hour. I think that's completely doable. We put a regular six in a truck in 2001 and got it to 22, what the hell is it? This is all about maybe it's just the Camaro, so apparently the episode everyone wants me to watch has something to do with a restaurant.

You have to see the dyno session, so I haven't seen it. I'm going to see it with you right now. Right away I see some guys I know, first sitting at the dyno console, Mike Lefevre. Mike came to see me virtually when he was a kid and worked for me in San Gabriel at my old speed shop, then there's the guy, the guy, the ride, the owner of SoCal Diesel. I sponsored him in a four-banger circle car that he drove here in Irwindale. I see an engine through the glass and I see an intercooler. I see a couple of

turbo

s.

I see an air intake in one of the turbos blowing into the second turbo. So it is a

compound

, there is no air cooling between the first and second turbo, so you ask to melt the compressor directly from the second turbo and I see an intercooler, it is air to air. I don't see anything blowing through it. to cool it down and there seems to be exhaust fumes in the test room, I have to see this moving forward on this build, we have a 15 Camaro and it looks like Kettle Brock is involved here pushing this, we are trying a mile an hour, we just had the first one . starting the engine in PPE had to do some necessary things, okay?

Apparently the PPE has something to do with this and they have to make us a custom steering wheel, we'll take care of all the heat, okay, Diesel is going to build a lot of heat we have a very tight engine but a nice caged Camaro is fine, they go to dial in performance for dyno testing I think it's a sand car, guys, right? I don't know how a diesel is supported if I wonder how many diesels. saved I know there's a trip like, okay, stupid, perfect, oh, they'll have to do it, we can do it, stupid.

Sh, okay, this always starts to flow. How did you fix the engine? It has to do with the turbo combination. Truly spectacular charge air cooling, the lowest. temperature in intake manifold higher air density if it smokes not enough air the guys make a lot of power so it seemed like they had ok if Edelbrock is in this and they must be running Edelbrock heads okay absolutely Well, this will build on that, I hope. I hope you're playing, that literally means because with diesels lean burn is safe in a gasoline engine, we're an air regulated engine, so we're flowing a lot of air and we're always trying to to drive, oh, we're talking about error here, diesel. we have to turn on its head, it's completely 180 degrees, it's upside down, it's a fuel regulated engine, so when we want the diesel engine to do something we just add fuel when we want the diesel engine to do something we just add fuel and air.

Comes with that, come on, boy, you're an airflow guy. I hope you get the air fuel ratio from the field and you should be fine with any black smoke. In fact, you are doing something right. You have to make sure you do it. You have the air before you put the damn fuel in, you don't want to turn off the engine, find the correct air-fuel ratio, that's so boring I can't even believe it, yes, I have absolutely no intercooler between the compressor stages, I have a great MAF sensor that I'm going to say is probably not enough if this, if this thing is generating the correct airflow, that MAF sensor seems too small.

You see? What is that air filter? Hey? The first serious error is the air filter which is an accelerator in itself. respect the air density, the air pressure in a room will be greatly reduced thanks to the chicks' air filter. Awesome, oh I hope they have a lot of fans in that dining room to cool the air from that air filter. I tell you now that there is nothing blowing air through the intercooler core and the internal cooler core, it is suitable probably for a two liter diesel and you have a turbocharged compound diesel of almost seven liters or maybe it has more than 70, no I hope to see him. or listen to him talk about manifold air density and oh my god look how small that damn intercooler is.

Oh my goodness, you have two quarks in the system. You could probably find another 150 horsepower just by doing the air filter and charging air. Right cooler and probably another 50 to a hundred putting a charge air cooler or an intercooler in this case between the first and second compressor that's why they're called internal coolers and that's right you know this is an aftercooler what about all the smoke? God, wait a minute, this thing is eating its own waste. Trouble, a gust. This thing is like one of my dogs in the garden and no, don't pick it up, for the love of God, oh my God, there is no line of escape.

Out of the test bed cell Jesus Christ, here we go again. I can see what looks like air coming in and out, maybe they just don't have the system on again, they are always correcting the horsepower to make sure they are using it. a correction factor that doesn't apply to diesel engines, idiot number one and Mike says if we need to go higher, we need more fuel, there's 750 horsepower, they have compound turbos, okay, everything looks good, I mean , that's the baby, okay. That's the childish melody, he says, that's the childish melody, how much smoke is the rude melody going to generate?

Focus, like I'm trying to look at everything, so I'm looking at the torque, I'm looking at the oil pressure and I'm looking at the main Boost program because Mike is talking about he's data acquisition, there's no data acquisition. , he's looking at all this stuff, this is how we did it in San Gabriel in the '60s, here's the end result, the horsepower being measured on the Dyno, the horsepower seen in Anaheim is probably a little better than they would be here, but those are horsepower that you get by correcting them to some standard to get a higher number on this boat, so it looks like they're correcting it I guess, but he means by STD to the old correction factor J 607 that we used on the gas intake in the past greatly inflated the horsepower number, so we never correct a diesel, we just know what we observe here and we know what we can do as the altitude increases.

Here, but we base all our predictions on the observed number. What the hell is up with the smoke? The engine is small. Those dyno runs are awfully short. Call it thirteen eighty-five foot pounds, thirteen, yes, 1385 is a good average and one thousand three hundred nine hundred and sixty-seven is. a peak power number nine sixty seven to be able to stand miles a little harder than most people think now Mike is saying stand miles a little harder than most people think they go a The Mirage is at nine sixty-seven with thirteen hundred pound-feet of torque, we can calculate the RPM from that, but we just did nine, twelve and one thousand three hundred and about almost fourteen hundred pound-feet of torque and that it was at 3400 oh they are going to increase the fuel now here's the deal what is the exhaust gas temperature every time you see this smoke you know you have a high exhaust gas temperature so 1163 885 in horsepower you look fun with 60 pounds of 60 pounds of boost 910 pounds of boost there's a big difference a big difference shows up so that's where the horsepower shows up and I'm wondering if any of that certainly saw a lot more smoke from that too.

I saw a lot more smoke from that too. That's this statement: If I'm setting it closer to 4200 rpm, then it's not. the 4200 rpm recordings course where I tell them okay, they're going to go for a little bit more here's the deal if you're going to run a little over a mile from a starting point at the mirage, that's going to take you a little bit of time , not the three seconds four seconds or five seconds so you're seeing here the question is will the engine live that long because every time you're blowing smoke and then you're associating a horsepower number with that, my only question is you? have a time delay fuse in that hand otherwise that motherfucker is going to blow up in your face, okay he's making some rpm in there, he's making less horsepower with more boost, yeah where is he leaking all over parts? oh it's leaking everywhere it's the doors yeah both ways doors in the back we have massive boost leaks okay let's fix the boost leaks this is the power coming in now we're over enough to reach our goal, which would be 200 miles per hour and the mile stopped, we have a couple of alcohol leaks, it's nice.

It's my fault in some ways, but we'll fix them before we do the tour and we're fine here. You should have made the route right where the engine is. You should have supported him as if he were in the air of the car. intercooler fuel rate everything you do the run on the dyno cell this thing is starving for air it has too much fuel they are filling the dyno cell with unburned fuel because there is not enough air for complete combustion in the chamber that's not like When you do diesel, it's never been the right way to do it, but at the end of the day you have the right parts in the wrong combination and you also have some parts that are not compatible with the program, the air intake system which is on I hope the car is much better than what is on the dyno.

The internal cooling system totally sucks. Maybe not as fun to watch as these guys because I enjoyed watching this. It's kind of a trip to see him travel again. I haven't seen it in years and we have a stock l5p engine the same size unless it's a stroker in a dyno cell. Let's make 912 horsepower with a smokeless turbo and we're going for a thousand horsepower. What's up with all this? Fast forward to the next episode of this, no need to blast me in the morning. I mean, I need to sleep. You know I have to have my beauty break.

So, in summary, there are a lot of you out there who know how to do it properly and I will keep explaining it to you until you are on the ground. There is no charge. Show these guys someday.
