Banks Project, Starting Final Assembly on Accel DFI and pressure chamber.

[threestar40]

Howdy from Texas, I am building a Banks twin turbo truck, It is a '91 GMC Full Size 1/2 ton regular cab, I have installed a S&W racecars backhalf on the thing with a Strange Ford 9".

Well, I'm obviously new here and I have purchased a Banks Twin Turbo System from Jason at Banks.

I was really happy to find a forum where I could share info. and learn from other people that are installing the same parts.

The goal for me is to put the thing together and drive it on the street and race it occasionally, maybe even power tour it...a street/strip venture.

When I purchased the system, I also bought the Accel DFI system...as the project goes, the parts flow is good and final assembly is imminent.

I don't really have any questions for anyone, but I can share some info., so here goes.

To begin, if any one is going to use the Accel throttle body with the banks pressure chamber, it has been my experience that the lever that opens the butterfly's will not clear the bottom of the pressure chamber...I must stipulate that I believe there is more than one accel throttle body that might work a little better. Luckily for me, I had a perfect 5+" piece of metal in my collection that helped me out with this issue.

You can also see where I tapped the back of the intake with 1/2" NPT for the bypass valve...Gale was serious about this little issue of relieving the boost pressure when you let off...serious hardware in the pressure chamber to say the least...I wanted to call it the plenum or intake plenum because I also have a ZR1 and that's what we call it on the Corvette Forum, I don't know, Jason calls it the Pressure Chamber, so I can buy that. The last pic is in my garage at my house, the Banks project truck lives above the vette. Hope this helps someone in the world, I will continue to post progress here.
