If
you are a do-it-yourselfer, Gale Banks Engineering
now has a complete Twin-Turbo kit to fit most common
350 small-block V-8 engines. Installation by a competent
mechanic can be completed in one weekend. The Banks Twin-Turbo system offers
tremendous performance and economy in a classic package
from the company that never compromises.
Induction
The massive amount of air needed to make 500 to 800
hp is fed to the engine through a specially designed
Banks pressure
chamber that allows for greater boost without increased
turbine backpressure for better response and fuel economy.
A built-in integral shuttle valve bypass prevents surge
conditions and eliminates backpressure caused by the
compressed air hitting closed throttle plates when
shifting. Without this valve, power would be
sluggish between shifts
due to increased lag from slowed-down turbos.
Exhaust
Manifolds
These compact, high-flow manifolds were designed
by Banks for the ultimate in fit and long-term
durability.
Their
unique design resists cracking and distortion while
providing the best turbo and wastegate placement
for ease of installation.
Wastegates
The Banks BigHead® wastegates are designed for a
flat boost curve resulting in an awesome power
transition. The high-gain actuator allows for
quicker spool-up
and less boost creep. The stainless steel body
withstands the high temperatures, ensuring a
long and reliable
service
life.
Turbochargers
The high-flow turbochargers, built by Banks to
our own strict specifications for optimum performance,
deliver
outstanding power from their compact frames.
With our precision-balanced inconel turbine wheel
and
shaft
assembly, the assurance of durability and reliability
is never
in question. Driving is a smooth, pulse-pounding
power fest that gives you the "nailed back
in your seat" thrill
you'd expect from Banks. The efficiency of our
compressor design helps to reduce inlet air temperatures
to acceptable
levels, eliminating the need for an intercooler
(for power output up to 800 hp).
Packaging
Banks thought of everything when assembling this Twin-Turbo
kit. The system is so comprehensive and utterly complete,
even the most seasoned gearheads will be impressed.
Every nut, bolt, line, fitting, heat shield,
flange, clamp and hose has been included so
you won’t have to search the world
over to get the parts you need to finish the
job. An owner’s manual and installation
instructions are also supplied with the package
so there’s no guesswork
involved. Gale Banks Engineering will also
work with you to create that perfect look for
your application. Polishing, chrome plating,
anodizing and color coordination can all be
worked out to create the desired finished product.
Fuel injection system, ignition, throttle body
and front drive system are sold separately.
