Less torque, more HP, and more RPM’s. Why? That defeats the purpose of a diesel. If you want that, play with a gas burner. Banks is a moron.

Uhh, maybe because of the fuel saved or, because diesels put out less greenhouse gases than that damn weedkiller that passes for fuel. Then, there’s also bio-diesel, the list of reasons is endless.

try to think different.
you know Diesel for it’s “original “purpose torque(for big engines) slow, smoky and low revs.
But they were not made for this purpose :
they were made to run with coal and vegetables oils (the things that we re-discover hahaha !).
IIt was for Rudolph Diesel a way to help the local workers and not let the industry kill them.
it was a “social” invention !
So now we try to make this engine more powerful because we discover it’s potential again.

In France 70 percent of the cars are Diesel and they are more and more efficient.
Look at the new Volvo Diesel engine : 1.8 bar boost and biturbo . twenty years ago that was only a monster gas race car that could be tuned like this !
Ok 7000 rpm are to much maybe but it’s a raceman this Banks !

Dude, I cant believe I’m sticking up for diesels, but hes right. For car applications, higher rpms and more power with an aluminum block? that would be awesome! Hes right man. Banks is the sht.

I remember when this originally aired on Trucks back in 2005, hell of a nice truck.
