GFB DV+ High Performance...

GFB DV+ for Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L/2.9L GFB’S DV+ SOLUTION COULDN’T BE SIMPLER – KEEP WHAT WORKS AND REPLACE WHAT DOESN’T. <ul><li style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Raleway Light';color:#343434;"> Uses factory solenoid coil for seamless integration</li> <li style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Raleway Light';color:#343434;"> Replaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength – especially important on tuned engines</li> <li style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Raleway Light';color:#343434;"> Direct-fit replacement with GFB’s TMS benefits</li> <li style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Raleway Light';color:#343434;"> Exclusive “pilot-actuated” valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost</li> </ul> A very simple and easy to install upgrade that adds more response and reliability. The factory diverter can loose pressure and cause sloppy shifting. This cures the problem. This is a true performance upgrade and extremely high quality. Available for the Giulia and Stelvio 2.0L and 2.9L (2 included in price). The solenoid coil itself from the factory-fitted valve is great- the ECU opens it faster than any pneumatic valve so why replace it? The weak point however, is the valve mechanism itself. GFB’s DV+ solves this problem by replacing the valve parts with an anodised billet aluminium housing, fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances. The end result is sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and it will hold as much boost as you can throw at it. Read all about the DV+ story below. Other manufacturers’ products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve, or include a solenoid valve with the diverter. These approaches add unnecessary cost and additional parts (in some cases requiring long vacuum hose runs, mounting brackets etc). All these additional items result in a product that is slower, less responsive, more expensive, and takes longer to install. GFB’s DV+ solution on the other hand is more responsive, less expensive, easier to install, and doesn’t cause compressor surge/ turbo flutter. Oh, and it doesn’t require different springs or frequent re-builds either. GET BETTER PERFORMANCE, FASTER BOOST RECOVERY AND DON’T PAY FOR WHAT YOU DON’T NEED! The DV+ Story: Better Performance – More Reliable Many late-model European cars use ECU controlled solenoid-type diverter valves. This is a good concept because the valve can react very quickly and it only opens when it needs to. However, there are some problems with these valves; <ul><li style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Raleway Light';color:#343434;"> The diaphragms are weak and known to rupture, especially if boost has been increased. Once this happens, the valve will no longer hold boost pressure.</li> <li style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Raleway Light';color:#343434;"> The plastic lip that surrounds the diaphragm is very thin and pieces can break off, potentially ending up going through the turbo.</li> </ul>Additionally, the solenoid on the OE diverter is directly connected to the valve mechanism, which is not ideal because neither it nor the return spring are strong enough to open and close the valve reliably at high boost. With problems like this, you can see why other aftermarket manufacturers assume the best solution is to replace the factory diverter entirely, or change it to a purely pneumatic system. Unfortunately though, whilst their replacement kits might be stronger than the factory diverter, their slower response speed and lower flow do not justify the extra cost and complexity – more of a compromise than a solution. GFB has taken a different approach to deliver a complete solution that solves existing problems and improves performance, without compromise or a hefty price tag. The DV+ addresses the factory valve problems with a very simple and elegant solution. Keeping the factory solenoid, the DV+ retains all the benefits of the stock system. Also replacing the valve parts with indestructible metal components ensures strength and reliability, no matter how much boost you run. That’s not all; rather than using the solenoid to directly actuate the valve, we’ve introduced a unique “pilot-actuation” system. This means the solenoid only has to control airflow through a small passage that is then used to open and close the piston (rather than opening and closing the piston directly), so it doesn’t matter how much boost you push through it, the DV+ will open and close reliably without ever exceeding the solenoid’s capability. This feature also improves on the factory system by opening the valve progressively in response to boost pressure, so it only opens as much as required to get the job done (the factory valve simply opens and shuts, it cannot partially open if boost pressure is low), resulting in better throttle response.l ever. Road courses, oval track, rally, vintage racing, autocross, club events or professional racing events. Tested and raced in countless types of competition vehicles, the R-4 compound from the outset has established its reputation as a Championship winning brake pad material.
