I would like to think there is more to the story. I watched the video before the commentating and was VERY surprised by it.. from a standpoint of "This stuff is not done right at all". Knowing Guy Tripp for years and not nearly as long as most of you - He knows better than what is in this video. There has to be more to the story or more video I would think.
I kept it to myself, but when I watched the video.. I was thinking the following:
1. They need more sensors.. Especially with the engine dyno.
2. Thats a air to air intercooler - where is the airflow? Also why the small cooler? Fan?
3. Why run the intake whatsoever? For the test of the mile - run it open.
4. The exhaust needs to be routed... You can see exhaust come out the low psi compressor - its not getting justice with the air quality.
5. Why are they guessing on the boost/psi, etc.? We should have sensors there to know what each charger is contributing.
6. More smoke does not mean more power - why did Guy say that?
Guy knows all of the above and I'm sure has for much longer than I...and I feel very confident he would of corrected all of that if it be his project. Gotta be more to the story.. The way it is produced indeed does make the diesel industry look like we do not have our sh*t together. I think we can all agree on that... but Guy does have his sh*t together... So I know there has to be more to the story.
I've been on a series before and the way it was produced made me look like a idiot - so I know how that goes. I also have HUGE respect for Gale... I work with him frequently sharing data and he has contributed a ton of knowledge over the years as we share what we can also. When I seen the commentary video - I knew there would be backlash. I think it will be beneficial when Mr. Guy tells his side as there is MUCH more to the story than I think we seen on screen.
Watching this one...
Also - respect to all companies from here. I know everyone works hard and bust their tails.
Vary valid points Kory.
To me Banks grabs the newbies entering the market with his sales tactics. Your basic bolt on stuff. Now when it comes to modern true competition engines and builds he has fell way behind. I mean be realistic. Go walk around the pits at any odss or Lucas pulling league event. You wont see any banks parts.
After seeing people fall for his dumb rear diff covers I learned his dumb tactics work.
To me that engine was not horrible smoke wise for being in such a little room. Especially when it's not dialed in yet. For the intercooler many guys have had decent luck with the ice box style coolers. Especially in swaps. Only thing I was thinking is the engine had to be heat soaked.
I think age enters into this. Banks reminds me of Joe Biden.

That was some funny shit! Lol.
I’m going to hell for this, but oh well:
