Banks S-10: Quickest & Fastest Diesel Drag Truck

[ssondubs]

I like that when your #1 the haters believe lies to make themselves feel better.

[1973c10]

hahaha, epically owned.

[7150285]

WHERE THE HELL IS THE BLACK SMOKES??

[metalsnak6]

read this in my diesel magizine but didn't realize it was this amazing.. great work!

[sandslinger82]

To bad that motor is not really a duramax... It's a custom built block... Rods.... Heads.... Pistons.... Crank.... Everything was machined in his facility..... You can NOT build that much power with a factory G.M. Block.... A cummins will build up to 1500 hp and turn 7k rpm before you need a billit block...

[bankspowerinsider]

@sandslinger82 Nope. Stock block, stock crank, ported stock heads. Heck, this run was done with a stock single CP3 pump. If you want to read up on what's actually in this engine please feel free to visit our website

[chevy572dabomb]

@sandslinger82

owned.

[caniwitech]

@bankspowerinsider Really? Then why in the coverage in diesel power mag does it say everything is custom?

[bankspowerinsider]

@caniwitech The diesel power article doesn't say that. If you would like to re-read it it's on our website. What it says is "In developing the engine for the Type-D, the Banks team started off with an ’06 LBZ block and crank. Then they added Crower rods to the mix, along with ceramic coated LLY pistons that are fly cut for a big cam. The heads use larger valves and are custom ported." Further it says "For fueling, a single stock CP3 injection pump is used."

[caniwitech]

@bankspowerinsider Ok.

[sailorchaos1274]

@sandslinger82 well somebody got owned by banks...

[Topfueltrooper]

@sandslinger82 i have to laugh at all you idiots here who think you know more about diesels than the Banks guys do. You know-it-all retards should go back to playing with your honda civics and whatever toys that keep you happy.

[turbocummins8993]

I wonder how many pistons they melted making this video.

[bankspowerinsider]

@turbocummins8993

None.

[Fuckaford828]

Benennis i'm sorry but your an idiot

[SilveradoDudeDk]

Now thats a truck

[BenEnnis2009]

that aint no diesel, sorry guys, thats the sidewinder gas truck with a 1200 hp sbc twin turbo'd their fastest diesel is a 12 valve cummins

[crazyasshonda88]

wow ur real smart..that is a diesel..y dont u try watchin their other vids to prove it before u say shit like that

[onthegaszr2]

it says DURAMAX on the hood....

[sk8ordie441]

can you not hear the fucking turbo?

its gale banks newest diesel dragster it runs clean (produces no smoke)

[1234superpooper]

@BenEnnis2009  Wow.... Get back on the short bus now.

[bradsnowball]

This truck is making an excess of 1000 horsepower no dought

[jfuller1950]

learn to spell

[25evets]

i think its funny how everyone is like oh torque wins races horspower is for selling cars blah blahhhh.... and a vehicle with this much torque isnt faster then a rx7

[mk37mgteboy]

well if you consider the weight defferences between the rx7 and this duramax.. torque is what wins because rx7's weigh next to nothing and the duramax, cummins and powerstroke are heavy as hell

[25evets]

ok so you have a heavy motor with XXXX numbers of torque and a light tube chassi and pretty much every drag "car" can beat it by almost 2 seconds.

and if torque really is all its cracked up to be then whyy doesnt all its torque compensate for the weight of the motor?

[mk37mgteboy]

the torque pretty much has compensated for the weight of the engine. look how fast that is. now its down into the 7's at 180 mph. yes there are a couple of rx7's that can do that but like i said, they weigh a lot less too. and the rx7's go up to like 10k rpm where as these may go up to 5 or 6 at the most

[grimreaper4227]

lets put the duramax in the rx7 lol. that fixes it.

[GamesterX69]

165mph in a quarter is a fuck load faster then a P.O.S mazda

[25evets]

hahahahahaha oooookkkkk a 1.3L wankle did the 1/4 in 6.97 at 197 and that was back in december.. hahahahahah desiels are soooooo cooolll..

not!!!!

[GamesterX69]

show me this please. i would love to see a pussy ass 1.3 do under 7 sec, if this is real i sell my bike and pimp a scooter "scooters are about 1 liter"

[25evets]

look up worlds fastest 2 rotor mazda sporty rx7

[25evets]

your comment leads me to believe you know nothing about engines btw/ you probably don't even know what a wankle is lol

[grimreaper4227]

but that wankle aint ganna last long.... lol.

[finnnnnny]

this truck isnt making that much power as one might think

[NJHCRevEdge]

you're wrong, it smokes very little because it's tuned right. A diesel belches black smoke due to the air/fuel ratio, not what it's burning. Also, this truck runs twin turbos at 40 psi a piece. It has all the air it could possibly want.

[kladivous]

nitrous oxide introduces more oxygen to the combustion chamber causing the fuel to burn more completely. Even so, this truck is tuned better than any diesel I have ever worked on. Banks is a genius. Also I am pretty sure this truck runs more than 40 psi.

[NJHCRevEdge]

I saw some specs when the truck first hit the strip that said 40 psi, it could be more now.

[25evets]

the reason it doesnt smoke is because instead of using unburnt fuel to cool the exhaust the have no learned to use air which cuts down on egt's alot. not because of air fuel ratios its because of the new consept that was created in tuning deisles

[wilbertm94]

nitrous is different from nitro

nitro is short for nitromethane im pretty sure, but nitrous is added to push the piston down since its ALOT less dense than air

[kladivous]

NO!!! Nitrous is an oxidizer. It attracts more oxygen to the combustion event causing a more violent and rapid burn of the fuel. Sometime try taking a lungfull of nitrous then blow it out through a lit cigarette. It will make the cherry burn white hot, and give you a buzz. The only reason we don't run oxygen injection is that it would be suicidal since pure oxygen is so highly reactive. Would you people please just READ A BOOK! you are, however, correct that nitrous is different from nitro

[wilbertm94]

o ok, im not that swell with how nitrous works, i think its just a fake way to go fast

[metalwill]

im a dodge guy but that is a badass truck

perfectly tuned monster

too bad you cant go mudding in it tho

haha

[bankspowerinsider]

Your exact statment was "it is basically burning nitrous and the diesel fuel is for lubrication." Thought I would help clear that up for you. You can't burn nitrous on its own. The only fuel it uses is #2 USLD.

[kladivous]

Good. Could we please explain that the the other 99% of "tuners" who don't get it? Try explaining to people that your nitrous is used for cooling or just to operate pneumatic parts. Why do people believe movies over the guy that builds the cars?

[MarcinM592]

wow

[bankspowerinsider]

You seem to be slightly confused. Nitrous is NOT a fuel. It will not burn in an engine by itself and you can't run with nitrous only.

[FROSTY2588]

they go through sooooo much nitrous its unreal, that much has got to take its toll on the engine

[57pwrwgn]

no actualy banks d-max does not burn a piston up every run, even they will say they dont replace pistons as much as it needs

[monster289]

It's a relief to see a properly tuned diesel. I'm tired of seeing rookies with their tuner modules belching tons of smoke. Why anyone would want to brag about wasting fuel and polluting like that is beyond me. I think that these "smokers" don't seem to realize is that the black smoke is unburned fuel, which did not ignite, which did not add power. Why won't they lean it out until there is no smoke? A tuner's goal should be to extract max power without wasting fuel. Nice truck, Banks!

[Honda2000ninja]

+1

Thumbs up!

[g0fvt]

Absolutely agree, the cheap conversions throwing unburnt fuel up into the air are losing power.... Banks proves you can get power and efficiency together....

[brent440]

most of the cummins trucks fairly close to this quick, are heavier to much heavier.

Anyone know what the teeny crank truck there weighs?

[Suthernredneck68]

The reason it's not smoking is because banks has designed this motor to burn every ounce of fuel effectively. Black smoke 90% of the time means that there is fuel not being burned. This duramax is burning every ounce of diesel going through the engine and has the perfect air-fuel mixture. Banks has done a fine job in building such a powerful and effective diesel motor.

[helistructor]

7point3stroker. You really don't like Banks I take it. You do realize that NOS is not a fuel, it's just oxygen rich air. It takes fuel to burn with the nitrous! Educate yourself!!! How many top fuel dragsters burn through pistons every pass?

[saskLS1]

wow, no smoke!

[Dmaxmoe]

Quickest and fastest means 2 different records for this truck, not one for the duramax S-1o and one for the Cummins dakota. Quickest meaning lowest time for a diesel truck, fastest meaning 165 MPH for a diesel truck or whatever the fastestest trap speed was...

[GMforlife90]

this truck ran it in 7.723

DURAMAX POWER

[RightWinger210]

Note the lack of diesel smoke coming from this truck, now thats how a diesel is supposed to be. Smoke in the air=power in the air, although I do love to see smoke!

[12valvepower1]

that is wicked wicked.. wow

[ar15AZ]

AWESOME!!

[boostedego7]

Charlie Stewart went a 7.82 in the Dakota. He was however unable to back his time up within a tenth so his record does not stand. Dodge owns and I happen to like the smoke and the stacks on Charles truck.

[GMforlife90]

this same truck did it in 7.723 chevy owns

[Onco400]

It's nearly perfect. It sounds awesome. I bet it really pisses off the Cummins boys, too.

[97Z71]

Banks' cummins truck is faster than the durmax one.

[FORDGTFANATIC]

in the diesel magazine article banks has the quickest (the duramax) and the fastest (the cummins) i think most cummins guys need to accept the duramax is there biggest competition and not to be taken lightly...both the trucks produce no black smoke and are the fastest diesels hands down

[97Z71]

Like I said. The cummins truck is faster.

[GMforlife90]

lol when you talking trucks, out of the whole is more important...

[12valvepower1]

on top end, yes, out of the hole.. no way man

[97Z71]

They've never raced. And I don't know why banks decided to choose that godawful monstrosity of an engie (duramax) to build up. They could have had the fasest and quickest cummins around. I garuntee the cummins engine; if built correctly by banks, could pull better times than the duramax. I don't mean to start an arguement, and I know I am brand bias when it comes to diesel engines, but I believe that cummins is the best diesel engine found in todays pickups. I think that banks knows that too...

[brent440]

you're right, and even if the dmax could handle 100psi like a cummins can, it has so much less crank and bearing, although I haven't heard of reciprocating problems with them so much as farted out head gaskets

[g3f0rc3p0w3r]

actually they have never taken this one to the salt flats, so you cant back up that statement. im pretty sure it would kick the cummins ass. it (the duramax)is a much more powerful truck. it probably has a top end if configured correctly of around 250+

[sithlordsoup]

christ

[danielson716]

hey too bad it runs on alchole or extic fuel this coming from some banks insiders. lets see a NHRDA fuel test for starters please

[GMDieselpower]

It's a diesel idiot.

[DieselTruckin]

Re-read his comment, he's saying it runs on alcohol using info from "banks insiders"......

[bankspowerinsider]

Sorry to disapoint... but we've been running regular old pump diesel. It's the same thing you can get at the corner gas station. Dunno who started the rumor... but it's a funny one.

[DieselTruckin]

Not sure who started it, it popped up though. Read from people who've been near it in the pits and smelled nothing like alcohol but the rumor still circulates.

[mustangpapi76]

sweet

[Powerstroke87]

God good listen to that turbo, that D-Max is nasty. Has anyone seen the purple Edge dragster run?

[DieselTruckin]

The wolverine? It's not doing much these days, they shut it down.....I believe it recently was bought by a guy in Ohio. Who knows what will happen with it.

[kidgoku666]

Reminds me of the video of a truck out-dragging a Mustang GT on the strip. Nuts.

[SplitScreenSamba]

DIESEL POWER!!!

[nurbsenvi]

I like how it doesn't have to rev the hell out.

sounded like around 4000rpm

[GMDieselpower]

The Duramax, the fastest diesel on the planet. Gotta love that D-max power.

[DieselTruckin]

Lets not forget it hasn't run faster than the Scheid Rail, so still #2.

[bankspowerinsider]

Ummm... the S-10 is not a rail.

[DieselTruckin]

Yeah, true S10 is a tube but several say it is the fastest quarter a diesel has ever gone, but the scheid rail ran a little quicker, 7.56 I think. Drop the real drag engine in and that'll probably change IMO.

[bankspowerinsider]

It's coming... don't worry.

[12valvepower]

damn.. the diesel heavy equipment i operated, are slow as hell
