Banks iDash Data Pro System With Data Logging Expansion Kit
Description
The iDash Pro Data System from Banks is a powerful monitoring device that is small enough to fit into a standard 2-1/16" gauge hole for a clean, discreet installation. And if you're already running an iDash but want the ability to monitor even MORE, then here's your answer! This expansion gauge is designed exclusively to be used in conjunction with an existing iDash and offers up data logging capabilities to create the ultimate vehicle cockpit.Cheap insurance, that's the best way to summarize the iDash. Overall, the system delivers you a host of gauges that your factory instrument cluster does not, but are incredibly important, especially for those that tow heavy or have modified the engine to produce above stock power levels. There's a reason you see 99% of modified trucks running a plethora of gauges to include EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature), Boost, Transmission Temperature, et-cetera, and its to avoid costly repairs after exceeding the limitations of the powertrain. While most of the aftermarket relies on having numerous individual gauges strewn across your dash or A-Pillar, or a bulky screen, which both can distract the driver, the iDash fits everything into a compact size. The iDash mounts into a standard 2-1/16" gauge hole, perfect for using in conjunction with a single pillar mount. And this particular unit is designed to create the ultimate cockpit experience, as its intended to "piggyback" with an existing iDash.
Furthermore, this particular model allows for data logging capability. Banks understands that with all of this newfound information, it can be pretty tough to keep a mindful eye on EVERY parameter and still manage to safely drive your vehicle. That's why this model includes a micro-SD card that will log every ounce of information as it passes through the iDash, and allow you to download that to your computer. You can then use this information to determine any necessary changes to your tuning or just your driving style in general in order to maximize performance and the longevity of your powertrain.
About Banks Power
BANKS POWER PRODUCTS
Established in 1958, Gale Banks Engineering has grown to 200+ employees on a 12-acre campus. The Mechanical Engineering Department, staffed with world-class automotive people, designs and tests the latest high performance equipment. Sophisticated electronic engineering technologies are applied to engine improvement in the rapidly growing Computer Systems Engineering Department. GBE designs turbocharged engines from the centerline of the crankshaft, out.
BANKS DIESEL PERFORMANCE IS UNDISPUTEDGale Banks Engineering (Banks Performance) is one of the most trusted names in diesel performance and manufacturers arguably the highest quality diesel truck parts for our Cummins, Duramax, or Powerstroke diesel trucks with highly sophisticated and tested components from your airbox to the tailpipe, and everything in between. With products like the Ram-Air Intake System for your Cummins, Techni-Cooler Intercooler for your Power Stroke, Big Head Wastegate for your Duramax, High-Ram Intake Manifold for your Ecodiesel, and their extensive line of Monster Banks Exhaust systems to help your engine exhale, you’ll be sure that every last ounce of available airflow is being utilized. Further, Banks Power Products produces numerous diesel tuners and programmers, such as their Derringer, iQ, AutoMind, and EconoMind, and water methanol injection systems to not only produce additional horsepower, but lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGT’s) and increase fuel economy (MPG’s). And for those of us that would prefer to not source individual parts from numerous manufacturers, they deliver proven complete vehicle packages that are tested to perform at their pinnacle when used in conjunction with one another, such as their Big Hoss Bundles, PowerPacks, and Six-Gun Bundles.
Now, with all of this available horsepower, how are you going to get it to the ground? Don’t worry, they've got you covered with their highly acclaimed Billet Torque Converters featuring proven triple disc technology. To keep your newly found horsepower under control, Banks also manufactures a complete line of exhaust brakes. Available are both traditional inline mechanical exhaust brakes, as well as their line of SpeedBrakes that take advantage of the electronically controlled veins or sliding rings in newer variable geometry turbos (VGT) for both a simple installation and effective braking.
BANKS EXHAUST AT DPP!Yes, Banks even manufactures their own line of exhaust systems and components that work just as well when included in one of their complete power packages as they do when installed independently. One thing that really sets Banks exhaust systems apart from the rest of the competition, is the fact they are wheelbase specific. While every other manufacturer designs their kits for all wheelbases, and essentially relies on you either cutting or excluding a piece for a shorter application (such as a crew cab, short bed), Banks has specific part numbers for each configuration to reduce installation time.
Wow, what DON’T they do? Well, they don’t fail, they don’t produce cheap knock off parts, and they don’t let the competition finish ahead of them, that’s what Banks DOESN’T do!
BANKS PROJECTSWhile having the ability to produce world class performance parts is one thing, putting your money where your mouth is could be on an entirely different level, and that's exactly what Gale Banks is known for. Time and again, they've proven their design, engineering and manufacturing prowess in whole vehicle development/modification, including Project Sidewinder, Banks GMC Syclone, and the big block twin-turbo Pontiac Firebird. And in order to provide testament to the capabilities of such vehicles, you are likely to find Gale Banks himself on the Bonneville Salt Flats setting a new land speed record, or on site with the military refining the engines that they specifically build for their Oshkosh JLTV vehicles. So yeah, you can rest assured that Banks has used, abused, and attempted to find the limits of every one of their products.
