Installing a BD Dielse Blow Off Valve

powerstrokedkid87 · May 2, 2012

since i got the new s366 from Dozers diesel, the smaller housing is causing some turbo surge when i let off the petal. Nothing a Blow of Valve cant fix... Here is a little write up of the install. Figured i can get this done while waiting for a few items left on the interior

well got around to getting to work done on the Blow off Valve last night...here some pictures

Mocking up the mount for the BOV

drilling the 1 7/8" hole

time to weld the mount on

not bad for a Mig...

here it is all mounted up

just have some wires to connect and should be set to go

now i would love to sit here and take all the credit for the welding, but that is one of my mechanics. He has a nack for welding for sure!

This will eliminate the surge of pressure back through the turbo when you suddenly let off the accellerator. The wires are for the solenoid that attaches to the accellerator signal from the pedal. That way when the thottle is let off, the valve will open. The valve will also open at max psi, which is adjustable.

Wires are for your tps. It looks for voltage changes since a diesel doesnt pull vaccum. Theres also a couple boost lines to run to the controller. Its a nice set up.

Good looking work man!

Am I the only one that noticed that weld didn't have any penetration for much of it? It'll probably hold for this but that wasn't a good weld IMO. Other than that it is a great job.

im not a welder by any means, which is why he welded this for me, but i know he was concerned about burning through the pipe, so he was leary of going to hot with the weld....this should be just fine for this application.

Theres plenty of penetration there. Looks just like all of my bov bungs. You forgot to paint it though lol

nah did not forget, the pipe has to come back out befor its all done, i will paint it then, we were just throwing it in to see what it looked like.

Thanks, its never ending.....who new a set of blown head gaskets would turn into a company starter, and this thing haha.....when my guys arent working on customer trucks, we are always tinkering with this thing!
