Turbosmart Releases 3.5L EcoBoost F150 Smart Port Blow-off Valve

FordTurboBOVTurbosmart has realized that Ford’s EcoBoost technology is the way of the future and is proud to release their brand new Smart Port Blow-off Valve for 2012+ F150s with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine. Check this great new product out if you are looking to up the performance of your new Ford F150.

Official Release:

Ford knows that boost is the way of the future. Their EcoBoost technology engines are designed to deliver power and torque consistent with those of larger displacement, naturally aspirated engines, while achieving approximately 20% better fuel efficiency and 15% reduced greenhouse emissions than these same engines. That’s why Ford is expected to offer EcoBoost engine technology in over 90% of its global vehicle line-up.

No one knows boost better that Turbosmart, which makes their world first Smart Port BOV for Ford’s 2012+ 3.5L Ecoboost F150 all the more exciting.

Stock blow-off valves like those that come standard with the F150 often suffer from a range of problems. The plastic construction can lead to cracking and leaking, and if you want to up the power (who doesn’t?) they can have trouble holding the extra boost.

Turbosmart’s Smart Port blow-off valve system provides a remedy to all these issues. The all aircraft grade aluminum alloy construction means cracking and leaking even under increased boost levels will never be an issue, while new Smart Port technologies provide a serious increase in performance over stock valves.

Turbosmart’s new piston manufacturing process utilizes specialized alloys and coatings, which mean a lighter, faster moving piston, for razor sharp valve response. Use of a soft spring in the body of the BOV also helps speed up valve response, and reduces compressor surge. While the spring on the smart trumpet prevents premature venting of boost. These new technologies result in quicker turbo spool-up and better performance on modern drive-by-wire vehicles like the F150.

Features:

  • Completely eliminate stalling issues that are sometimes seen in vent to atmosphere applications
  • Dramatically reduce compressor surge, at both low throttle and engine load conditions
  • Smoothly integrate with factory computer mapping, without requiring any tuning
  • Easily handle boost pressures beyond 30 PSI
