This is the Banks Supercharged Duramax! | BANKS BUILT Ep 8

Gale Banks explains how we will shove a massive supercharged 7-liter Duramax L5P diesel engine into LokJaw, our rusty '66 Chevy 3/4-ton pickup. He's joined by Fabrication Engineer Erik Reider, Mechanical Engineer Joshua Chen, Prototype Engineer Erik Reider, and Brand Manager Jay Tilles. Gale details the Whipple 3.8L Gen-5 supercharger and blower drive, Banks' marine-inspired liquid-coupled charge-air cooler, Ram-Air intake system, new cast L5P exhaust manifolds, 2020 L5P oil cooler, Banks Fluidamper, dry-sump system, and ATS-modified Allison transmission.
