353 Turbo Detroit Diesel Parts - Blower Section

Parts for Detroit Diesel 3-53 Turbo – Blower Section

The Detroit Diesel 3-53 turbo engine is a compact, two-stroke powerhouse known for its efficiency and responsiveness in industrial, construction, and marine applications. One of its defining components is the Roots-style blower, which plays a vital role in air delivery and combustion performance. At Diesel Pro Power, we offer premium rebuilt blowers and all related service components to keep your 3-53 turbo engine operating with maximum airflow and reliability.

Detroit Diesel 3-53 Blower – Rebuilt

Our rebuilt Detroit Diesel 3-53 blower is designed to meet OEM performance standards, ensuring consistent boost and smooth power delivery across all operating ranges. This unit features 39-tooth pinions and is professionally remanufactured using precision machining, balanced rotors, and high-quality seals. Every blower is thoroughly tested for correct air displacement and pressure before shipment.

Each rebuilt blower is sold with a refundable core deposit, meaning you receive full value for returning your used unit. This helps customers save money while supporting a sustainable remanufacturing cycle.

Detroit Diesel Blower Repair Kit for 3-53, 4-53, and 6V53

Keep your existing blower in top condition with the Detroit Diesel blower repair kit for Series 53 engines. This kit includes high-grade bearings, seals, and hardware required to restore air-tight integrity and efficiency. Compatible with both natural and turbocharged configurations, it’s a cost-effective choice for extending blower life without full replacement.

Proper maintenance using this kit ensures that your blower maintains precise clearances, reduces air leaks, and delivers optimal compression. Regular rebuilding not only improves performance but also minimizes the risk of oil contamination and premature rotor wear.

Detroit Diesel 3-53 Blower Installation Kit

The Detroit Diesel blower installation kit for 3-53 turbo engines provides all the gaskets and hardware necessary to reinstall your blower securely and leak-free. The kit helps ensure a proper seal between the blower housing and the engine block, critical for maintaining boost pressure and preventing oil or air loss.

Whether you’re performing a full overhaul or replacing an individual component, this kit simplifies reassembly and eliminates guesswork during installation.

Detroit Diesel Blower Screen Gasket for 3-53

Designed to protect the blower from debris while maintaining proper air passage, the blower screen gasket provides a secure seal between the air intake and screen assembly. This gasket helps ensure that only clean, filtered air enters your engine, preventing dust or particles from damaging internal components.

For high-performance turbocharged setups, maintaining a clean airflow path is essential to preserving blower efficiency and engine life.

Detroit Diesel Blower Seal and Sleeve for Series 53 Engines

The blower seal and blower seal sleeve work in tandem to keep oil within the blower assembly and prevent external leaks. Over time, seals can harden due to heat and pressure cycles, leading to gradual air or oil seepage. Replacing these components with Diesel Pro Power’s precision-engineered seals ensures the proper barrier between the blower and engine crankcase.

The sleeve reinforces the sealing surface and maintains alignment during operation. When replaced together, they provide long-lasting protection against contamination and power loss.

Detroit Diesel Air Cleaner – 3” Inlet Diameter

Airflow is the lifeblood of the 3-53 turbo engine. Our Detroit Diesel air cleaner with a 3-inch inlet and 11-inch heightdelivers clean, unrestricted air to your blower. Designed for industrial and marine applications, this air cleaner filters out dust and contaminants to maintain steady intake pressure and combustion efficiency.

Proper filtration prevents premature blower wear and ensures stable boost delivery across load ranges. This air cleaner is durable, easy to service, and ideal for replacement during any major tune-up or rebuild.

Gasket for Hydraulic Governor

The hydraulic governor gasket creates a reliable seal between the governor and drive housing. A small but vital component, this gasket prevents oil leakage and maintains pressure stability inside the governor housing, ensuring consistent engine speed control.

Replacing this gasket during maintenance helps maintain precise fuel delivery and throttle response — critical for achieving smooth operation in turbocharged configurations.

Detroit Diesel Shutdown Solenoid – 12 Volt and 24 Volt Options

To ensure safety and reliability, Diesel Pro Power offers both 12-volt and 24-volt shutdown solenoids for Detroit Diesel 3-53 turbo engines. These solenoids control fuel shutoff during emergency stops or ignition key cycles, protecting the engine from potential damage.

Each solenoid is tested to handle the high heat and vibration typical of Detroit Diesel installations. The 12-volt version is ideal for standard automotive and light industrial setups, while the 24-volt solenoid supports heavy-duty and marine systems. Both deliver instant, reliable actuation for dependable shutdown performance.

Teleflex Morse Control Cable Terminals – Ball Joint and Clevis Types

Proper throttle control requires durable and precise linkage components. Diesel Pro Power carries Teleflex Morse terminals compatible with 43C marine cables, available in both ball joint and clevis-type designs.

• Ball Joint Terminal: Offers smooth pivot action and quick response for fine throttle adjustments. Ideal for compact installations where clearance is limited.

• Clevis Terminal: Provides a secure mechanical linkage between throttle levers and control rods, preferred for heavy-duty marine and industrial setups.

Both terminals are made from corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring longevity even in harsh marine environments.

Detroit Diesel Engine Paint – Detroit Green

Restore your 3-53 turbo engine’s authentic appearance with Detroit Green engine paint. Specially formulated to match original Detroit Diesel color standards, this durable coating resists heat, oil, and corrosion.

It’s an ideal finishing touch after overhauling your engine or replacing major components like the blower or governor. Available for ground shipping only within the U.S. and Canada.

Gasket Spray – High Tack Sealant

Seal and secure your gaskets with High Tack Gasket Spray, a premium adhesive designed for Detroit Diesel and Cummins engines. This spray provides an instant tack for holding cut gaskets in place during assembly and creates a strong, leak-proof bond under heat and vibration.

Using this spray ensures even sealing pressure, reduces the risk of leaks, and extends gasket life. It’s especially useful when installing blower and governor gaskets on turbocharged engines, where maintaining airtight connections is critical.
