BD 1027150 Remote Mount In-Line Exhaust Brake 11-16 6.7L Ford Powerstroke
Description
Are you ready for a real exhaust brake to keep you at a safe speed down those long, windy descents? Sure, the later 6.7L Powerstrokes came factory with an integrated exhaust brake in the variable geometry turbo, but for anyone that's ever had a traditional in-line style of exhaust brake that utilizes a butterfly valve, you know what the stock brake is lacking. And especially for those that have upgraded to a non-VGT turbo, you've lost the stock exhaust brake altogether. Guess what.......BD-Power has the solution!
This exhaust brake is specifically intended for use with aftermarket turbo kits, such as the line of BD Scorpion Turbos, that convert from the stock variable geometry turbo, to a traditional non-VGT. Once you've made this kind of upgrade, you've lost the integrated exhaust brake. But the good news is that an inline exhaust brake will outperform a VGT brake in every way, providing substantially more retarding power.
So why would you want to change to a non-VGT turbo in the first place? Overall, the factory turbo has shown that its reliability, especially the early models, were sub-par. Due to the repeated issues experienced by vehicle owners, the original manufacturer, Garrett, went back to the drawing board and finally made improvements to increase the reliability. Unfortunately, these turbos still have a high failure rate and also severely limit overall airflow and rob the truck of its potential to build power. Fortunately, the aftermarket has stepped in to provide turbo kits that unleash the power and reliability of these trucks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Must be used in conjunction with an aftermarket, non-VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo).
About BD-Power
BD Diesel is known as one of the originators of diesel performance because theyve been there since the very beginning. Its by no coincidence that theyve been in the industry since 1972 where theyve seen competition come and go over the years. You could consider them a front to back organization in which they design and manufacture products ranging from Super B Turbo Kits and performance injectors for your Cummins to heavy duty transmissions, torque converters, and other transmission components for your Duramax to Positive Air Shutdowns and exhaust brakes for your Powerstroke and everything in between. Quite literally, there are VERY few components that BD does not build for nearly every light duty diesel application.
BD DIESEL PERFORMANCEOriginally founded in 1972 as Valley Fuel Injection that specialized in fuel injection rebuilding and calibrating, BD Diesel gained the most notoriety beginning in 1989 with the release of their first exhaust brake designed for Ram trucks with the acclaimed 12 Valve Cummins engine. BD would later rename Valley Fuel Injection to BD Diesel Truck Service and Performance Center that operates as an extension to BD Diesel Performance. Today, they operate out of a 65,000 square foot facility in Abbotsford, British Columbia and employ over 100 highly skilled individuals. They are constantly pushing the envelope with forward thinking products that not only fill voids in the marketplace, but also take existing products and push them to the next level.
BD DIESEL TRANSMISSION UPGRADESTransmissions have a singular but ambitious challenge - to transfer all the torque from the diesel engine to the drive wheels. This must be accomplished while maintaining shift quality and minimizing NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness). With stock or OE configurations, this capacity challenge is somewhat less than extraordinary. Comparatively, a high output diesel that develops 2-4 times the original engine torque and keeping stellar driving characteristics at this power level becomes a new feat. Utilizing the latest technology in CAD and FEA simulation, BD can predict and eliminate failures before they happen. The dedicated team of BDs Transmission and Torque Convertor Department are true experts in the development and analysis of the diesel transmission.
BD EXHAUST BRAKESBD built its reputation on exhaust brakes starting in the early 90's with many casting designs for both engine and remote mount air actuated systems. Rugged cast-iron bodies with an offset stainless steel butterfly build peak efficiency quickly.
BD TURBO UPGRADESThe turbocharger industry is a special industry for BD and remains a key technological asset. When looking at BDs experienced staff, the majority of their key staff members have been developed in or around this technology. BD focuses on the customer's needs, whether it is fast turnaround, state of the art compressor wheels or turbine wheels, they look to deliver on the highest expectations. You can be assured that a BD turbocharger has been hand crafted to the greatest standards. Using precision lathes, milling equipment, honing machines, and inspection CMMs your turbocharger is continuously graded to exceed the OEMs specifications.
BD FUELING UPGRADESOwing to its heritage as a diesel fuel systems specialist, BD Diesel Truck Service & Performance Center is a factory-certified Bosch, Stanadyne, Delphi and Zexel calibration and repair lab. They are one of a select few injection shops in North America to have Bosch Common Rail parts and an overhaul and testing franchise. BD Diesel rebuilds most all mechanical and electronically-controlled fuel pumps and injectors for diesel engine applications.
BD ELECTRONICSThroughout the automotive industry, electronic technology has become an integral part of the OEM solution. Whether it is safety, performance, or driving improvements, BD Diesel Performance has developed a strong electronic department to focus strictly on this technology. By focusing on the core needs of the customer, they engineer out the possible product failures and maximize key features to deliver a top to bottom solution. Utilizing state of the art manufacturing equipment, BD maximizes value and minimizes time consuming tasks that inflate costs. Vehicle electronic technology will remain a key technology at BD Diesel Performance.
