Banks
Innovation
The legacy and technological leadership of Gale Banks Engineering
in the diesel aftermarket is unquestioned. With its long history of
breakthrough innovations (many patented!) in high performance gas
and diesel engine development—including turbocharging and drive
train—Banks has no rival. Time and again, Banks has proven its
design, engineering and manufacturing prowess in whole vehicle development/modification,
including Project Sidewinder, Banks/GMC Syclone and the big block
twin-turbo Pontiac Firebird. Banks
Engineering
First and foremost, Banks is an engineering firm. Established in
1958, Banks has grown to 200+ employees on a 12-acre campus. The
Mechanical Engineering Department, staffed with world-class automotive
people, designs and tests the latest high performance equipment.
In the Race Shop, Banks’ special project vehicles feature
cutting-edge diesel and gasoline development, multiple turbo applications,
mind-boggling horsepower and head-turning style. Sophisticated electronic
engineering technologies are applied to engine improvement in the
rapidly growing Computer Systems Engineering Department. Gale Banks
Engineering designs turbocharged engines from the centerline of
the crankshaft, out.
Banks
Prototyping
Gale Banks Engineering is the company others come to for advanced
research and development, including “outside the box”
projects for both product feasibility and image-generating media
attention. Major automakers, including Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Volvo
and Pontiac, have relied on Banks’ expertise and capabilities.
Banks
Testing
When it comes to testing, Banks’ engineers are as ruthless
as they are uncompromising. Only the most advanced equipment and
facilities are used for testing and re-testing existing products,
production prototypes and experimental designs for performance,
durability and compatibility. Ongoing testing ensures unparalleled
functionality, product endurance and quality control.
Banks
Manufacturing
The Banks difference is clearly demonstrated in its Manufacturing
Division. While many aftermarket suppliers farm-out designs or assemble
“grab-bag kits” from various sources, Banks manufactures
to exacting specifications every product it designs.
Banks
Capability
Gale Banks Engineering applies an unmatched combination of experience,
capabilities and design/engineering/manufacturing savvy to provide
automotive services and solutions that keep raising the aftermarket
industry bar. |
