IMpORTANT
To obtain optimum performance from your Banks sidewinder
Turbo system, it is necessary to make an adjustment to
the fuel injection pump. This adjustment is easily made by
following the enclosed instructions. However, it is extremely
important that the instructions be followed very carefully.
Before starting the injection pump adjustment procedure,
please note the following:
The engine must be cOLd (preferably overnight)
before starting the injection pump adjustment
procedure. do nOT attempt to turn the engine over or adjust
the injection pump while the engine is warm.
To gain access to the injection pump adjusting screw,
it is necessary to rotate the engine crankshaft, so that
the screw is properly positioned. as noted in the instructions,
the crankshaft is rotated by hand, in the clockwise direction
only, by turning the vibration damper mounting bolt using
an appropriate socket, extension and breaker bar. On some
late model trucks it may be necessary to remove the front
crankshaft pulley to gain access to the vibration damper
bolt. do nOT rotate the crankshaft using the starter, for any
reason. even though the fuel solenoid is de-energized, the
engine can still start. This is extremely hazardous and can
result in both severe personal injury and major mechanical
damage. again when making the injection pump adjustment,
Do NOT rotate the crankshaft with the starter.
If you removed the front crankshaft pulley to gain
access to the vibration damper bolt, be sure to
reinstall the pulley (and belts) before starting the engine.
Notification
The Banks Ram-Air Filter comes pre-oiled and no
oiling is necessary for initial installation. Service

GENERAL INSTALLATION pRACTICES
for ease of installation and trouble-free operation
of your BanKs sidewinder
® Turbo system, please
read this entire 20-page instruction package before
starting any work. (If any pages are missing from this
package, please call immediately for a replacement.)
Become thoroughly familiar with all components and
phases of the installation. determine what additional
tools or materials you may need to complete the
installation, and at what stages you will require welding
if it is to be done by other than yourself.
Inspect all components supplied for any foreign
material that may have entered during shipping
and handling. Wash all fuel and oil hoses with solvent
and blow dry with compressed air before assembly.
Inspect all castings for damage resulting from shipping.
check all machined surfaces for nicks or other damage.
clean all castings with solvent and blow dry with
compressed air prior to assembly.
any time the vehicle is raised off its wheels,
it should be supported by jack stands, ramps,
or a hoist of adequate capacity for the vehicle’s
weight. neveR peRfORM anY WORK undeR a
veHIcLe suppORTed OnLY BY IT’s seRvIce JacK OR a
HYdRauLIc JacK.
use the Teflon tape provided on all pipe thread
connections. Hold tape back from the first two
threads of the fitting so tape will not flake off into the
fluid. This is especially critical on oil lines.
any threads to be secured with Loctite must be
clean, dry and free of any oil or grease. clean
threads with lacquer thinner as required.
pay particular attention to the routing of all
hoses and wiring. Keep them away from
exhaust heat, moving parts and sharp edges that
may cause cuts or other damage. Route or tie hoses
away from critical areas as required. Keep all hoses a
minimum of 1” from hot exhaust parts; 1
1 ⁄
2
” or more is
recommended whenever possible.
collet stainless steel locknuts are used on the
studs in the exhaust manifold. The locknuts
should be installed as shown in figure 14. The nuts will
spin on freely and lock only when tightened.
Muffler and exhaust piping are not included with
this kit. an exhaust parts kit containing these
components is available separately from BanKs or you
may have a local muffler shop fabricate the exhaust
system. The BanKs 3” exhaust system is required for
emissions legal installations.
general assembly diagrams are provided in
addition to the specific step or section diagrams
noted in the text. general assembly diagrams show
relationships of individual components for reference;
however, numbered step-by-step procedures should
be followed for proper assembly sequence.
Right-hand and left-hand designations refer to
the driver’s right or left, as seated in the vehicle
(i.e. Right-hand refers to the passenger side of the
vehicle), unless noted otherwise.
all BanKs components are designed, tested and
manufactured to standards far exceeding factory
OeM specifications. However due to normal variations
in production vehicles, it may be necessary to slightly
modify some exhaust system components for proper
fit.
