Thumbnail Filmstrip of L5P Duramax Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet Elbow | Banks 42792 Images
The Banks Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet Elbow for the 2017-2024 Duramax L5P is a high-performance upgrade designed to optimize airflow and turbo efficiency. Unlike other aftermarket options, the Monster-Ram prevents destructive turbo surge while delivering significant performance gains.
- Improved throttle response
- Reduced turbo shaft speed
- Increased turbo life
- 11% lower turbo drive pressure
- 23% greater Gulp Capacity™ (volume)
- 17% larger turbo inlet size
- 18.67% less restrictive than stock
- Outflows stock by 11.9%
- Retains PCV geometry
- Cast aluminum construction
- Available in Banks red powder coat or natural aluminum
Why It's Better:
The Monster-Ram is the result of over 18 months of development and extensive testing. It's meticulously engineered to maximize airflow within the L5P's compact engine bay. By optimizing inlet and outlet sizes, orientation, and PCV connection, the Monster-Ram achieves a 12% increase in Mass Air Flow while preventing harmful turbo surge.
Unlike other aftermarket options that often sacrifice performance or reliability, the Monster-Ram's proprietary design reduces pressure loss by 18.67% and increases Mass Air Flow by 6.01 lb/min compared to the stock intake. This results in a 11% reduction in turbo drive pressure, leading to improved throttle response, faster boost times, and extended turbo life.
The Monster-Ram's carefully engineered design features a large organic shape that smoothly directs airflow into the turbo compressor. This optimization, combined with a 17% increase in overall flow area, significantly improves turbo efficiency and response. The anti-surge ring is precisely designed to redirect airflow back into the compressor wheel, effectively damping surge and preventing damage to the turbo.
Understanding Turbo Surge:
Turbo compressor surge is a harmful condition that occurs when the compressor wheel loses its ability to efficiently compress air at low flow rates and high boost pressures. This can lead to increased heat, mechanical stress on the turbo, and reduced performance. The Monster-Ram's advanced design effectively mitigates surge, ensuring optimal turbo performance and longevity.
While other aftermarket inlet elbows often compromise performance or induce surge, the Banks Monster-Ram stands out as the superior choice for the 2017-2024 Duramax L5P. Its innovative design, meticulous engineering, and commitment to performance and reliability make it the ideal upgrade for serious diesel enthusiasts.
Note: Works with Banks Ram-Air and stock intake systems
