The Banks PowerPack cold air induction
components are designed to extend
the factory air intake path so that
cooler outside air can be picked up
from directly behind the vehicle’s grille.
These components include a molded
Banks Super-Scoop™, 4” diameter
flexible tubing, Ram-Air Filter Cover
and installation hardware. Figure 13
shows a typical hook-up of the air intake
components as they tie to the factory
system. The Super-Scoop also serves as
a water separator to drain out any rain
water that may enter through the grille.
The Banks PowerPack cold air induction
package is intended to fit a number
of motorhome body configurations.
Because each coach builder has a
different layout of behind-the-grille
components, there can be no one set
installation procedure for the Banks Ram-
Air package. The following instructions
are intended as a guideline for installing
the Ram-Air system. Also, some coach
builders may have installed difficult
to relocate components (such as air
conditioning freon piping or heater hoses)
in the areas where the Banks Ram-Air is
normally mounted. In these cases, the
installer will have to find an alternate
location for the Ram-Air components, or
omit these pieces that are impossible to
mount.

Remove the air cleaner housing
cover. Replace the factory paper element
and filter cover with the Banks Ram-Air
filter element and cover. Use new 6mm x
40mm bolts, don’t over tighten.
30.
Determine a location for the Banks
Super-Scoop. It should be placed as low
as possible directly behind the grille, with
the air inlet opening pointing straight
ahead. If the grille is at an angle, the
Super-Scoop should be trimmed at an
angle, whenever possible, to place the
air inlet opening against the back side of
the grille with the centerline of the inlet
opening horizontal. See Figure 13. Use
heavy snips or a hacksaw to trim the air
inlet opening of the Super-Scoop. The
height between the Super-Scoop and
the air inlet hood should be as great as
possible to prevent any rain water not
eliminated by the Scoop’s water drain
hole from climbing up into the air filter.
The curved outlet section of the Super-
Scoop may be trimmed back if less bend
is required to make a more streamlined
hose routing. See Figure 13 .
