Learn on Monday, wrench smarter on Sunday. 

Introducing a NEW series on /DRIVE, aimed at educating you to build a faster, better, more reliable car:  /ENGINEERED. We want to empower our fellow enthusiasts to know more, and do more, by learning from some of the best engineers in the game. 

This week we went to BANKS Engineering to learn from the master of boost, Gale Banks, about why turbos are the best way to get power from an engine. He's done it all, from setting Bonneville records to building 1,400HP jet boats, to military drive trains. If you're thinking about building a turbo setup, or just want to know why they work, this episode is for you.

 engine harnesses exhaust energy to drive compressor and compress air to make 2000 hp in 1974. All elements of turbocharging are here before your eyes.

 Turbocharging and inter cooling is a very effective way to cool an engine and it can be done with liquid cooled compressors or with air cooled compressors.

 use of variable geometry turbochargers allows us to supercharge race vehicle, especially diesel vehicle.
