The
ultimate upgrade for classic diesels is a Banks Sidewinder turbocharging
system. The Banks wastegated Sidewinder turbo unleashes gains
up to +82 hp and +143 lb-ft torque. You'll hardly recognize
Ol' Betsy!
With Banks' turbocharging technology onboard, she'll tow up
the grade quicker, and provide great fuel economy improvement.And
thats No smoke! Just unparalelled performance, reliability and
durability. Banks puts all of their products through vigorous
testing to ensure the satisfaction of even the top enthusiest.

SYSTEM
INCLUDES:
Banks
Ram-Air intake
Banks Ram-Air intake includes a cast-aluminum Hi-Rise filter
housing plus lifetime, high-flow Banks Ram-Air filter that
decreases intake restriction and sends more cool, dense
ram-air into your engine. This also allowin air to move
through with ease. Includes a service kit for use every
30-50,000 miles.
Sidewinder
turbocharger
Banks utilizes an aircraft 713C Inconol turbine that outlasts
and out-performs the competition because it's bigger and
more efficient than the rest. The high-capacity Sidewinder
compressor produces more boost and a greater volume of cooler
air than the competitors' antique-style, smaller units.
Banks lessens backpressure and lowers EGTs, for more power
and mileage and quick response right off the line. Assembly
includes wastegate actuator, pulse-tuned cast exhaust inlet/turbine
mount, cast-aluminum air inlet/vent duct and cast-aluminum
air inlet plenum.
Dynaflow
muffler
Banks replaces the factory's restrictive muffler with an
aluminized, free-flowing Dynaflow muffler that contributes
greatly to eliminating exhaust backpressure. Instead of
using packing that can blow out the tailpipe, Banks Dynaflow
is resonance-tuned to dispel exhaust gases through a suite
of chambers and 3.5" outlet.
Monster
exhaust
Banks Monster exhaust system outflows stock and the competition.
Banks' constant-diameter Monster T.O.P. turbine-outlet pipe
flows better than the stock piece and preserves diesel durability
by keeping the turbine-outlet EGT safely at or below factory
specs. The streamlined exhaust pipe and 3.5" tailpipe
are formed of aluminized, heavy-wall tubing with constant-diameter
bends to slash backpressure. The polished-stainless 4"
tailpipe tip provides a cool finishing touch.
TransCommand
Banks' electronic TransCommand transforms E4OD and 4R100
automatics into super-duty units by continually corresponding
line pressure to power and load levels. Instead of soft,
car-like shift characteristics, TransCommand produces firmer
shifts, especially when hauling large loads. The module
senses the load and commands the transmission to raise the
hydraulic pressure accordingly. Light-throttle shifts are
smooth and firm, while full-throttle or heavy-load driving
produces solid, decisive shifts. Excessive clutch slippage
is eliminated, extending transmission life.
DynaFact
gauges
Banks DynaFact pyrometer protects engine life and fuel economy
with precision exhaust-gas temperature (EGT) measurements,
accurate within +/- 15°F at maximum operating temperatures.
The pyro's spring-loaded, jeweled movement is resistant
to vibration and sports a lit, easy-to-read 0-1500°F
face. Banks' 0-15 psi boost gauge monitors power, turbo
performance. Includes 2-gauge mounting panel. Top-mount
and/or pillar-mount options available.
