Banks Non-wastegated Manual

[Petri317]

Does anyone have an install manual/parts inventory sheet for the old square-box Banks Non-wastegated turbo in .PDF format. I just scored a complete truck that has (with a bad number 2 cylinder) a vintage banks turbo (the box reads "Banks Turbo 6.9") I will pick it up next week. Pictures and lots of questions to follow.

I think that I do, I will check when I get to the shop this morning and let you know.

That's a big 10-4!! This site is awesome when it comes to technical knowledge and guys (and gals) willing to help others. How close are you to being done with Big Ed? (We're waiting for the massive burnout/black smoke video!!! )

Big Ed is on the road! Just working out a few bugs, will update soon. I had a sucessful camping trip last week towing the 5th wheel, so far so good!

I have one too. It's 2.96 Mb in pdf format. Send me a PM, with your email address, if you want a copy of what I have. There might be an advantage in getting several, looking for slight variations and updates. Certainly it wouldn't hurt.

Perhaps you should send the entire turbo down here for inspection and roadtesting. The service would be free of charge. I'll ship it back sometime later in this lifetime, or maybe the next.

Sounds good Gandalf.(the .PDF offer. I'll skip the turbo road testing! ) Never hurts to have more than one copy in case they updated anything. thanks. Sending a PM right now.

 

[Petri317]

I think Darrin should send Big Ed down to us in the Bay Area for some road testing! He would probably never get it back!!

FWIW, the manual for the non gated Banks is still on their site, it's listed under the E-series heading though, only difference is they used a pressure box without the big square filter housing and a cone filter on them.

It's on it's way!
One thing I 're-engineered' on mine that you might want to look at is the hose and mounting for the CDR. Banks has it mounted with the inlet pointing up on the side of the airbox. That allows the CDR to hold a certain amount of oil (and vapor that eventually condenses) and when it reaches a certain height the accumulated oil will flow into the airbox. I mounted the CDR so the inlet points down so it will not hold any oil. I then cut the hose that runs from the CDR to the adapter on the timing gear cover. I installed a hose mender and rotated one end of the hose about 180* from its original orientation. WHat this does is provide a 'slope' from the CDR back to the adapter so that any oil that accumulates will flow back to the adapter and eventually into the crankcase.
Here's a couple of pics so you can get an idea. The hose clamp you see behind the AC compressor is where the cut/mender is......
