What you need is the ability to measure every possible aspect of your engine’s performance to find where it’s weak points are. This is where the Banks iDash DataMonster® and the Banks suite of sensors come into play. With our full suite of measuring tools, you can measure your engine’s performance at the level of an engine dyno.

Below we will illustrate and explain some common scenarios. For more information on the Gauges and Sensors used on this page, visit the iDash and Sensors section.

Not only be able to use the information for evaluation and tuning, but by reading the temperature and pressure both pre-turbo and post-turbo you’ll evaluate compressor efficiency. No more guessing if the turbo is going into choke because the housing is too small, or the wheel blade count is too high, or if the turbo is too big for the performance that you want.
