Detroit Diesel Turbochargers for 6V71 Marine Engines

The turbocharger is the key component responsible for increasing air density inside the combustion chambers, allowing the 6V71 engine to deliver higher power output without increasing displacement. The Detroit Diesel Turbocharger for 6V71T engines is a direct replacement for factory units and is available in new condition to guarantee reliability from the first installation. Each turbo undergoes rigorous balancing and flow testing to meet Detroit Diesel airflow and boost pressure standards.

Designed for marine intercooled configurations, these turbos are engineered to withstand the corrosive saltwater environment. High-temperature-resistant turbine housings and precision-machined compressor wheels deliver long service life under continuous-duty operation.

For optimal installation, it’s recommended to pair your new turbo with fresh gaskets, flange studs, and oil return seals— all available in this section.

Turbo Riser Connectors and Adaptors for 6V71

The Detroit Diesel Turbo Riser Connector plays a critical role in connecting the turbocharger to the exhaust and cooling systems. Diesel Pro Power provides Coast Guard–approved riser connectors designed for both the right and left bank configurations on the 6V71 marine engine. These components are fabricated from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand continuous heat exposure and saltwater contact.

Riser connectors also help manage exhaust gas flow while preventing back pressure, which is essential for maintaining stable turbo speed and engine performance. The available adaptors and riser connectors for the 6V71 can also be used interchangeably with 8V71, 6V92, and 8V92 engines — ensuring flexibility across Detroit Diesel marine power systems.

Turbo Gaskets and Sealing Components

A well-sealed turbo system ensures maximum efficiency by preventing exhaust leaks and maintaining pressure integrity. Diesel Pro Power offers a comprehensive selection of turbo gaskets for the Detroit Diesel 6V71 engine, including:

• Turbo exhaust inlet connection gaskets, available in various diameters for a perfect match with your turbo housing.

• Marine manifold flange gaskets designed to handle high exhaust temperatures.

• Oil return and oil supply gaskets, which ensure leak-free lubrication to and from the turbocharger bearings.

• Turbo riser gaskets, cut from reinforced high-temp material, built to resist constant vibration and pressure cycles.

Proper gasket replacement during each turbo service interval reduces the risk of leaks, improves turbo spool-up response, and ensures clean, efficient combustion.

Turbo Flange Studs, Nuts, and Washers

Turbo flange studs and fasteners are small but critical components that keep your turbocharger securely mounted to the exhaust manifold. Diesel Pro Power offers OEM-grade Turbo Flange Studs, Nuts, and Washers specifically for the 6V71 engine. These hardware sets are made from high-strength alloy steel, featuring corrosion-resistant coatings to prevent seizing under high heat.

Always replace all fasteners when reinstalling your turbo — reusing old studs or nuts can lead to loosening under vibration and result in exhaust leaks or misalignment. Diesel Pro Power provides studs in multiple lengths to fit standard and intercooled configurations, ensuring the right fit for every setup.

Turbo Blankets and Riser Bank Blankets

Marine safety standards demand the use of heat-protective coverings for turbos and risers to prevent heat damage and reduce fire risk. Diesel Pro Power supplies Coast Guard–approved turbo and riser blankets for the 6V71 engine, constructed from ultra-heavy-duty insulation material with stainless steel stitching and wiring.

These blankets are engineered to retain heat within the turbo housing, improving thermal efficiency while protecting nearby components from extreme temperatures. They are available for both left and right banks, as well as universal configurations that fit either side.

Properly installed turbo blankets contribute to safer engine room environments, lower ambient temperatures, and increased efficiency of the turbocharger itself.

Turbo Clamps and Fittings

A tight seal between turbo components is critical for maintaining boost pressure and preventing leaks. Diesel Pro Power carries a full range of turbo clamps in multiple diameters — 4", 4.55", 5.25", and 5.75" — to fit every connection point in your 6V71 turbo system. These clamps are precision-engineered for consistent pressure distribution and long-lasting durability.

Each clamp is made from stainless steel to resist corrosion in marine environments. Whether you’re installing a new turbo, replacing an air intake hose, or performing a complete overhaul, Diesel Pro Power’s clamps ensure that every joint is leak-free and secure.

Air Intake and Filtration Components

Clean airflow is essential to turbo and engine longevity. Diesel Pro Power supplies Airsep filters, silencer elements, and vacuum regulators designed for the Detroit Diesel 6V71 turbo engine. These filters are available in tapered and straight configurations to fit various intake setups, with options ranging from 7.5" to 12" in length.

Every Airsep filter is designed to reduce restriction while maintaining superior filtration efficiency. For ongoing maintenance, Diesel Pro Power also provides Airsep cleaning kits, spring sets, and replacement filter elements, ensuring your air intake system performs as efficiently as the day it was installed.

Hump Hoses and Air Connections

Flexible hump hoses are essential components in connecting the turbocharger to the air intake and intercooler systems. Diesel Pro Power offers a wide selection of hump hoses for the 6V71, available in reductions and straight-through configurations, including:

• 5” to 4”

• 5.5” to 5”

• 6” to 5.5”

• Straight sizes from 5” to 6”

Each hose is built from reinforced silicone, resistant to both oil mist and high-temperature air. These hoses help absorb vibration and compensate for minor misalignment, ensuring a leak-free seal that maintains full boost pressure throughout the system.

Turbo Oil Supply and Return Components

Lubrication is vital for turbocharger operation. The 6V71’s turbo system relies on a steady flow of clean oil to the bearings to prevent friction damage and overheating. Diesel Pro Power’s turbo oil supply and return gaskets ensure that oil flows efficiently through the turbo system and back to the sump without leakage.

Replacing these gaskets during every service is crucial, as even minor oil leaks can lead to bearing contamination or turbo failure over time. These components are made from heat- and oil-resistant materials for long service life.

Turbo Jointing Compounds and Sealants

When installing or resealing turbo components, a high-quality sealant is essential to ensure airtight joints. Diesel Pro Power offers 762 High-Temperature Jointing Compound, specifically formulated for Detroit Diesel and Cummins turbo systems.

With a temperature range between 550°C and 760°C, this compound can withstand extreme exhaust heat without degradation. It forms a durable seal resistant to fuel, oil, and vibration — ideal for exhaust manifold joints, turbo flanges, and other high-temperature interfaces.

Filters, Springs, and Maintenance Kits for Airsep Systems

To complement the turbo system, Diesel Pro Power also offers a range of Airsep accessories and maintenance components. These include:

• Vacuum regulators to balance air pressure

• Filter cleaning kits for reusable elements

• Spring sets (7.5” or 9.5” in length) to secure Airsep housings in place

Regular cleaning and inspection of the Airsep system help maintain the optimal air-fuel ratio, reduce soot accumulation, and extend turbocharger lifespan.

Why Turbo Maintenance Matters for the Detroit Diesel 6V71

The Detroit Diesel 6V71 turbocharged engine operates under heavy-duty marine and industrial conditions. Proper maintenance of the turbo system ensures that air compression remains efficient and that exhaust backpressure stays within acceptable limits.

Routine inspection should include:

• Checking for oil leaks at supply and return lines

• Inspecting turbo shaft play and wheel clearance

• Cleaning or replacing filters regularly

• Tightening clamps and fasteners to proper torque specs

By keeping the turbo system in top condition, you preserve the legendary reliability and fuel efficiency that the Detroit 6V71 engine is known for.
