Detroit Diesel Blower Catalog by Engine Model

Below you’ll find our complete Detroit Diesel blower catalog, meticulously organized by engine model and configuration. This comprehensive resource covers every major supported two-stroke series — the 53 series (inline), 71 series (both inline and V engines), 92 series (V engines), and 149 series (large V engines).

Each engine series has its own unique requirements for air scavenging and blower design. By structuring our catalog this way, we make it easy for you to locate the exact blower or related parts needed for your specific engine model, whether you run a single 4-71 on a small workboat or twin 16V149s on a heavy offshore tug.

At Diesel Pro Power, we are proud to be recognized as the number one rebuilder for 2-Cycle Detroit Diesel blowers by both volume and quality worldwide. This isn’t just a marketing claim — it’s backed by thousands of successful rebuilds, rigorous quality control, and countless repeat customers who trust us to keep their fleets running.

What Blowers and Blower-Related Parts Do We Carry?

Diesel Pro Power isn’t just a source for complete blowers. We carry the full ecosystem of blower-related products to complete your overhaul, rebuild, or new installation — all tailored specifically to Detroit Diesel two-stroke engines.

Complete Blowers

We offer factory-style complete blowers for all the Detroit Diesel models listed above, whether inline or V configuration, turbocharged or non-turbo, 2-valve or 4-valve. Each blower is engineered or rebuilt to precise Detroit Diesel specifications, ensuring:

• Correct rotor clearances for optimal scavenging efficiency

• Bearings that handle the exact RPM and torque loads of your engine series

• Heavy-duty seals that prevent oil migration into the airbox

Blower Gasket Installation Kits

Every time you remove or replace a blower, you’ll need new gaskets to ensure a reliable seal. Our installation kits include:

• Blower-to-block gaskets

• Intake and discharge gaskets

• Seals for end plates and inspections

• Additional hardware like o-rings or spacers if your engine demands it

Available specifically for each engine model and whether it’s a 2-valve or 4-valve head, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting seal.

Blower Repair Kits

For customers with blower housings and rotors still in good condition, our repair kits provide a cost-effective way to restore performance. Each kit typically includes:

• New precision-fit bearings

• Oil seals and retainer clips

• End plate shims to set proper rotor end play

• Rotor timing hardware where needed

Rebuilding with our kits can extend blower life significantly and protect your investment by keeping the original housing in service.

Blower Shafts

The blower shaft is critical — it transmits power directly from the engine’s gear train to spin the blower rotors. If worn, chipped, or if splines become damaged:

• It can destroy new bearings or cause catastrophic rotor contact.

• We stock hardened, machined blower shafts engineered for each Detroit Diesel series, with precise spline and length specifications.

Replacing the shaft during a blower overhaul is best practice to ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability.

Blower Couplings

The blower coupling connects the blower shaft to the drive gear. It ensures that power is transferred efficiently and dampens minor misalignments between components. Over time, couplings can develop cracks, lose tension, or wear on the keyway.

We carry:

• High-strength blower couplings built to handle the torque of Detroit Diesel two-stroke engines

• Couplings sized for the exact shaft diameter and gear pocket of your specific engine model

• New mounting hardware if needed to complete the installation

Replacing an aging or worn coupling along with your blower or blower shaft helps prevent vibration, noise, and premature bearing wear — protecting your entire air system.

Frequently Asked Blower Questions

Why do turbocharged Detroit Diesels still need blowers?

On these two-stroke engines, the blower is always required for scavenging air and clearing exhaust gases. The turbo simply compresses air before it reaches the blower to improve volumetric efficiency and horsepower.

Should I install a new blower shaft during a rebuild?

Yes. A worn shaft can quickly damage new bearings. It’s the best insurance to ensure your overhaul lasts.

What if I reuse old gaskets?

You risk vacuum leaks that destroy blower efficiency, allow oil leaks, and even permit debris into the airbox. Always use a fresh gasket kit.

Why is my blower noisy or making a metal-on-metal sound?

Likely a sign of bearing failure. Shut down immediately to prevent the rotors from colliding or sending debris into the engine.
