GFB DV+ T9365 is a high-performance, direct-fit solution for the Ford Ranger from 2019 onwards with the 2.3 EcoBoost engine. The kit is derived from the popular DV+ T9358 kit, but includes bolts specifically adapted for mounting to the factory plastic flange. T9358 uses machine screws intended for metal flanges.<\/p>\n
The factory diverter valve solenoid works well, so it does not need to be replaced. The weak point is the valve mechanism itself. GFB DV+ replaces it with an anodised solid aluminium housing and a brass piston manufactured to precise tolerances.<\/p>\n
DV+ retains the ECU control and factory solenoid, ensuring the fastest possible response without unnecessarily replacing the solenoid.<\/p>\n
The weak part of the factory diverter valve is its plastic mechanism. GFB replaces it with CNC-machined metal components and changes the way the valve operates. The factory valve operates in only two positions \u2013 fully open or closed. When it opens fully at low boost pressure or during a partial throttle lift in the middle of a corner, it can cause greater turbo lag and a noticeably non-linear transition in boost pressure.<\/p>\n
The solenoid in the DV+ assembly no longer moves the piston directly, but controls its movement using boost pressure. This pilot operation increases the forces available to activate the valve, improves operating speed and increases reliability.<\/p>\n
The piston can now move progressively according to the amount of boost pressure that needs to be released, instead of always opening or closing fully as with the factory diverter valve. The result is sharper throttle response, very fast valve operation and reliable boost pressure retention.<\/p>\n
DV+ is more responsive and uses the existing solenoid, so there is no need to replace the entire diverter valve. The system does not cause compressor surge, turbo flutter or chirping \u2013 these sounds indicate that the diverter valve is not performing its function correctly.<\/p>\n
The 2.3 EcoBoost engine uses an ECU-controlled diverter valve with a solenoid, as is common in modern turbocharged engines. Nevertheless, these valves, which have been used since the mid-2000s, still have shortcomings in terms of reliability and operation.<\/p>\n
The factory diverter valve uses a piston that cannot be effectively sealed due to its moulded plastic design. This can result in leakage, causing boost pressure to build more slowly and drop at high revs.<\/p>\n
DV+ ensures that boost pressure reaches the engine with a sealing contact surface made from vulcanised silicone, along with precisely defined clearance and surface finish between the piston and bore.<\/p>\n
With the factory diverter valve, the solenoid has to move the piston through a long stroke, which significantly reduces the magnetic force available to open the piston. This requires a weaker return spring, which has less reserve when boost pressure or friction in the valve assembly increases. This can cause sticking and reliability issues.<\/p>\n
DV+ eliminates this by having the solenoid control a short-stroke pilot valve, providing a fast response and greater activation forces. The pilot valve uses boost pressure to open and close the piston, so the operating forces are directly proportional to boost pressure. At low pressure, the piston opens only partially, while at high pressure it opens fully. When the solenoid switches off, boost pressure quickly closes the piston. This allows DV+ to eliminate sticking caused by friction and weak solenoid force, while preventing opening at high boost pressure.<\/p>\n
