Parts for Detroit Diesel 6V71 Turbo – Blower Section

The Detroit Diesel 6V71 turbocharged engine combines the reliability of the classic two-stroke 71 Series design with the added power and efficiency of turbocharging. In this configuration, the blower system remains an essential component, even though a turbocharger supplements the air intake. The blower ensures proper scavenging—clearing exhaust gases and delivering a consistent airflow for fresh fuel-air mixture to every cylinder. At Diesel Pro Power , we supply a complete selection of high-quality blowers, gaskets, couplings, seals, shafts, and installation components engineered specifically for the 6V71 turbo configuration, ensuring smooth operation and long-term durability.

Rebuilt Blowers for 6V71 Turbo Engines

Our rebuilt Detroit Diesel blowers for 6V71 and 12V71 turbo engines are restored to original OEM performance levels through precision remanufacturing. Each blower is dynamically balanced, pressure-tested, and inspected to ensure optimal airflow and efficiency. Sold with a refundable core deposit, these units offer an economical, environmentally friendly solution for replacing worn or failing blowers. Designed for use with turbocharged systems, the rebuilt 6V71 blower maintains proper intake pressure at low RPM while complementing turbo boost at higher speeds, giving consistent throttle response and cleaner combustion.

Blower Oil Tube Assemblies and Repair Kits

Proper lubrication is vital to the performance and lifespan of the blower. Diesel Pro Power offers Blower Oil Tube Assemblies in both 1/4” × 1/8” and 1/8” × 1/8” configurations to fit Series 71 and 92 engines. These precision-engineered tubes ensure a constant oil supply to critical bearings, preventing overheating and wear.

For internal servicing, the Detroit Diesel Blower Repair Kit for Turbocharged Series 71 engines includes premium seals, bearings, and gaskets. It’s the ideal solution for restoring a blower that’s starting to leak oil or lose efficiency. Combine this kit with the Blower Installation Gasket Kit to complete a full reseal and installation, ensuring your blower system is airtight and ready to support the turbo’s pressurized airflow.

Couplings , Shafts, and Drive Components

The 6V71 blower relies on a precision connection to the engine’s gear train for power transfer. Diesel Pro Power supplies Blower Couplings designed for the thin 48-spline shaft configuration common in Series 71 and 92 engines. Each coupling is machined for a perfect fit, minimizing vibration and spline wear. Supporting hardware includes the Blower Shaft (5.22” long) , Retainer , and Coupling Hub Plate —all engineered for balanced operation and long-term durability.

For marine or industrial installations with auxiliary hydraulic systems, the Blower Accessory Drive Hub provides a stable power takeoff point, allowing smooth operation of accessories such as hydraulic pumps or alternators.

Gaskets, Seals, and Bearings

Maintaining proper sealing is crucial to the performance of a turbocharged Detroit Diesel engine. Diesel Pro Power carries every gasket needed for blower installation and maintenance, including:

• Blower Drive Gear Cover Gasket

• Governor Spring Cover Gasket

• Blower Screen and Striker Plate Gaskets (for 6V71, 12V71, and related configurations)

• End Plate and Block Gaskets (two required per blower)

• Aftercooler Gaskets for turbocharged engines

We also stock Blower Seals , Seal Sleeves , and Drive Cover Seals , which prevent oil leakage and preserve internal pressure. The Bearing for Accessory and Blower Gear Drive ensures stable rotation under load, extending service life and maintaining smooth blower operation.

Air and Ventilation Components

To keep your air system clean and efficient, Diesel Pro Power offers Air Box Kits and Valve Assemblies for Air Box Breathers . These parts regulate crankcase pressure and allow clean air circulation within the intake system. Proper air management is essential to maintaining boost consistency and reducing smoke output under heavy acceleration.

For marine and industrial turbo systems, our Aftercooler Gaskets provide reliable sealing between the aftercooler and intake housing, preserving boost pressure and preventing power losses due to air leaks.

Electrical and Control Accessories

Diesel Pro Power’s Shutdown Solenoids —available in 12-volt and 24/32-volt versions—ensure safe, reliable engine control for marine and stationary setups. For throttle and governor systems, Teleflex Morse Ball Joint and Clevis Terminals fit standard 43C control cables, providing smooth, corrosion-resistant motion for throttle and transmission control.

Finishing and Maintenance Supplies

Finish your installation with Detroit Green Engine Paint , offering the factory-correct color and heat resistance to protect against corrosion. For reassembly, use High Tack Gasket Spray Sealant to hold gaskets securely and create a leak-free joint, even in high-temperature turbo environments.
