ABOUT BD
BD Diesel Performance is unique among its peers
in that it designs, manufactures and distributes
a wide range of products specifically engineered
for performance diesel applications. Located
in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada, BD’s
state-of-the-art facility covers 65,000 square
feet, and employs 60 plus highly-trained individuals.
The BD name became recognized in 1989, when
the company introduced the first exhaust brake
for the burgeoning diesel pick-up truck market.
BD’s roots, however, actually date back
to 1972, when Valley Fuel Injection, Ltd. first
opened its doors. Today, Valley Fuel Injection
and BD Diesel Performance are one, with eight
specialty divisions that focus on diesel power
train components.
Fuel Injection Calibration Department
Owing to its heritage as a diesel fuel systems
specialist, BD is a factory-certified Bosch,
Stanadyne, Delphi and Zexel calibration and
repair lab. BD also remanufactures both mechanical
and electronically-controlled fuel pumps and
injectors for all diesel engine applications.
Exhaust Brake Manufacturing
BD built its reputation on exhaust brakes,
and today it designs, assembles and tests both
engine and remote mount systems, either air
or vacuum-actuated. Featuring a rugged cast-iron
body and a stainless steel butterfly valve and
shaft assembly, BD’s exhaust brake incorporate
exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, which
builds peak efficiency quickly, and holds it
consistently.
Electronic Circuit Design and Assembly
Today’s electronically-controlled diesel
engines require precise control not only for
maximum performance, but dependability. Rather
than outsource this important componentry, BD
created its own department for circuit board
design/assembly, programming and wire harness
assembly.
Transmission and Torque Converter Design and
Remanufacturing
Increased horsepower and torque necessitate
transmission modifications to ensure reliable
operation. That’s why BD specializes in
Ford, Dodge and GM/Allison truck transmissions.
Every one of BD’s complete exchange tow
or race transmission assemblies is designed
to handle double the amount of factory torque.
Application-specific valve bodies and accumulator
bodies are also available. BD also offers the
toughest torque converters in the industry,
with custom-designed stators, furnace-brazed
fins, double and triple clutches and stamp-forged
covers (stronger than billet steel!) for high-horsepower/torque
applications.
Turbocharger Design
When is a turbo more than just a turbo? When
it’s got the BD name on it. BD Diesel
Performance is an engineering test facility
for industry leaders Borg Warner/Schwitzer and
Garrett. As a result, BD leads the industry
with its Dodge Cummins and GM Duramax turbo
systems. BD is on a continual quest to develop
more innovative turbo applications, and as of
December 2006 opened a remanufacturing facility
to offer new and remanufactured turbos for all
industries.
Installation
As part of its commitment to service, BD offers
a complete retail outlet for factory product
installation, service and dealer training. This
well-equipped facility features state-of-the-art
diagnostic scanners, as well as a 1,500 horsepower,
computerized chassis dyno, It’s also the
place where BD’s famous bi-annual Dyno
Day is held.
Research and Development
BD has a team of engineers on staff that designs
diesel turbocharger systems, electronic controls
for automatic transmissions, diesel engine performance
tuning files, intake systems, air to air and
water to air intercoolers, injector designs,
exhaust systems, flex plates, short-throw shift
kits, engine shut down devices, high-rpm devices
and many other new products. With design, manufacturing
and testing in-house, we can assure the utmost
quality in our products.
Administration
Accounting, claims and warehousing staffed
to service our worldwide distribution. Ten percent
of BD’s business is in the retail segment,
and 75% of the company’s total sales come
from the U.S.
Sales and Marketing
Unlike some companies that merely hire salespeople,
BD features a highly-trained technical sales
department that educates end users and dealers
in product application, field sales and training,
brochure and advertising development, web design
and sustaining market leadership. Our professionals
are on the road throughout the year and in all
corners of North America, providing intensive
training to our installation and distribution
centers.
BD’s comprehensive approach to the diesel
performance aftermarket ensures not only quality
products, but educated dealers and satisfied
customers. Thank you for your interest in BD
Diesel Performance!
