OttoMind TLC power-train control module
OttoMind TLC optimizes performance and mileage, while protecting diesel durabiltiy, with Banks' exclusive electronic functions: TLC (Torque Limiting Calibration) shapes and limits the torque curve to comply with drivetrain capacity • TLC2 (Temperature Limiting Control) monitors EGT and limits the maximum turbine-inlet temperature to Cummins' specified value.

 

Quick-Turbo assembly
Banks developed the Quick-Turbo in conjunction with the Holset turbocharger and Cummins Engine companies, to eliminate sluggishness "out of the hole" and produce strong acceleration. Quick-Turbo produces massive torque right from idle, achieves a higher peak faster, maintains more boost through the powerband, and doesn't over-boost. Banks' exclusive BigHead wastegate actuator prevents "wastegate blow-open" by keeping the valve seated at higher pressures, increasing mid-range torque and top-end power

 

High-Ram air-inlet casting
Banks' streamlined, cast-metal High-Ram air inlet replaces the factory's smaller, angular piece for a 56% reduction in pressure loss. Greater boost on the intake side—without increased backpressure at the turbine—makes the engine more responsive and fuel-efficient.

 

DynaFact gauges
For 24-valve applications, Banks uses electronically-controlled, commerical-grade analog instruments. A quick glance at the needle position pinpoints the current reading, and indicates the trend in boost and temperature. Banks' 0-50 psi DynaFact boost gauge monitors power, turbo performance and tells you when the air cleaner needs servicing. The pyrometer protects engine life and fuel economy with precise EGT measurements and is color-coded to make monitoring safe shut-down temperature a "no-brainer." Includes 2-gauge mounting panel.
