Top Diesel Dragster: Famoso Test

[MangoHombre]

I noticed it always want to go left. I've watched your other vidoes too.

[jwandhistools]

That motor sounds pissed.

[ketd9]

awesome

[boilingpoint2]

surprisely it sound like a gasoline

[shrimp909]

Do you know what RPM they go to?

[peepeevagi]

I'm afraid to ask, but how much torque does that engine produce?

[LeeLeefritz93]

@peepeevagi its gotta be a good couple thousand dude

[peepeevagi]

@LeeLeefritz93 I'm suprised that engine doesn't rip a rift in time and space lol.

[joffeloff]

How are these 'drag diesel' engines compared to 'top fuel drag' engines? I mean, are they comparably 'extreme' in terms of being built for one run or two and then rebuilding? Or do they last longer?

[MrMoooren]

yeah its crazy my 05 sterling with a cat c15 475 hp 1600 ftlbs not a bit of smoke ever and it pulls at low rpms its the way to go man run em lean and lots of boost

[bobwatters]

nice to see no smoke all these tards on here that think trucks looks so fast b/c they smoke should see this to see how a real diesel is tuned

[terhhh87]

What transmission are you using in this dragster?

[alecisdabombyea]

i work for Banks power and helped build this dragster, the way we get very little smoke as possible is that we use all of our resources, edge bully dog efi all those just throw out unburned fuel, we pipe our turbos to the intake so well that if there was any black smoke is was burned and used,

[WillJPalmer]

sounds nothin like a diesel lol

[Dylan22190]

awesome sound

[mozzarrella]

I wonder how diesel rails would compare to top fuel rails if they had the same amount of money put into them? Top Fuel Dragster runs twice as fast as this but I bet the diesels could come close if someone would just build one

[dewartt69]

@mozzarrella top fuel rails run 85% nitromethan and scream down the track at 10K rpms. a top fuel diesel rail still dosent spin half that many rpms not to mention has to match or exceed the top fuel rails power at 8000hp and 12500-13000 ft lbs of tourqe

[alecisdabombyea]

@dewartt69 top fuel runs 8k rpm :) 

[EETechs]

@dewartt69 LOL your torque figures are so wrong. A top fuel dragster engine torque figures are in the low 4000 to 6000 range.

[gotboostduramax]

@mozzarrella Hard to believe to a brad anderson top fuel engine. Same ones in all the top fuel dragsters and funny cars are actually cheaper to build than a Pro Stock engine. There is more technology in the prostocks bigblock engines and there is deffinetly more technology in these diesel engines as well. Diesels are extremely expensive to build. The diesel will just never match up to the unreal power of a blown nitrometh engine. They also have to rebuild those blow nitro engines every run.

[gotboostduramax]

And a top fuel engine only costs about 50,000.00 Hard to believe its that cheap. They come apart every run. I have a couple pistons and rods out of Del Worshams funny car and after 4.5 seconds down the quarter one rod is bent and the other has the bearing spun off. Both pistons are shredded

[hondarideralex]

@gotboostduramax funny you say that. in terms of rods components, the banks engines use the stock crank, heads and block. if you watch some of the other videos where gale talks about the engine, he says they use stock aluminum heads crank and i think rods (?). You can put 10000 into a twin turbo 12v cummins and get 1000 horsepower that you can drive down the street.

[baldandold]

great, 7.15 and no black smoke, top marks, where can i buy one?

[furyofbongos]

Don't know anything about drag racing, but did I notice a doppler affect as it went down the track? The pitch got lower as it got faster...

[hightechredneck19]

its called nitrous and tuning..... lots of nitrous will clear up any smoke

[BTL47]

no filter on the exhuast. its just well tuned. if yo look closely to the burnout you will see a light haze.

[weed46]

They have no smoke because they have FAP.

Le Mans cars run 700hp in qualify and 650hp in race because the FAP cant handle the entire race.

[bleachworthy]

FAP? it doesn't make much sense that they would run it with such low fuel since the goal is to get maximum power, unless they are limited on hp and torque for class reasons?

[weed46]

Because they have to. If they havent FAP, there will be black diesel smoke everywhere. How cool is going behind a car that's throwing at you black stinky smoke?

[bleachworthy]

What does FAP stand for? and my motto with diesel smoke is: If you're getting smoked out, you're not fast enough!

[weed46]

FAP e the particle filter, wich stop diesel from geting black smoke from the exaust. This is why you see this new diesel cars with clean exausts. And it why WTCC and 24h diesel cars dont throw any smoke. Without that they will be like thos old trains :D, pretty much like those tuned ricers you look out there with those crazy remaps.

[bleachworthy]

ahh, ok so it's a soot filter... it sounded like it was some type of fuel management that prevented the smoke

[bankspowerinsider]

@weed46 Sorry guys, wrong guess. There's no particle filters on this dragster.

[weed46]

How can it do that? The excess of diesel has to go somewere

[duramaxin81]

@weed46 wow your a idiot theres no filter on it and if it did why does a light haze come out right before the burnout

[13bROT8N]

ima petrol man miself but i still respect the diesels and dis is why.. awsum vid :D

[truhlik62]

very cool.

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

fuck gas engines diesel FTW

[BrainStirmKZ]

No smoke = no DIESEL :D

[howtowakeakar]

No smoke = all the fuel was burned instead of being dumped out of the exhaust.

[toreyjw1]

no... no smoke = full boost and full power

[mattosoffice]

no smoke = right configuration

audi @ le mans have no smoke but only hp

[weed46]

That's because they have FAP, the particle filter. Without it it will be smoke eveywere

[JayandJenn07]

YES thats the perfect streetdiesel motor for my truck!!! ill take one please...lol

[1doubbled1]

lol ill take one as well!

[texasphil]

Holy Shit.

[ricibiribicci]

2 stroke diesel?? is correct??

[JesterStrike]

OhhhYeeeaaahh!

I'd love to see this in person.

[36thgallardo]

How much TQ?

[firesquare16]

very very nice!

[noahandshell]

Worth the wait!

[dieselmax21]

Congrats on getting the car to the track. Not many people know exactly how much hard work and effort it takes to make a project such as this a rolling project. Again, congrats and I can't wait to see what the car will do when it reaches its full potential.

[seroyer2]

Banks please make a TDI Jetta road race car. and make tuning parts for the new German Diesel cars that are coming over here now.

[Paganiproductions]

So us european's could be proper parts

[RickArter]

That thing sounds sick!!!! 5/5

Cant wait to see more when you get the clutch and stuff tuned more got more in her for sure!

[rudebwoyjohn]

BAck to the the Shop.. that torque is ripping into the tranny and the tire.. it should be a good 6.3 second car...

[gabaldon14]

i need a banks diesel in my 83 gmc 3/4 ton!
