What kind of Turbo does a C15 Acert use?
What kind of Turbo does a C15 Acert use?
The C15 Acert utilizes a compound turbo setup, which features a high pressure turbo and low pressure turbo. The high pressure turbo is smaller in size and it the first one to get exhaust gas from the manifold. The smaller size and position allow this turbo to spool up right away, thus giving the engine power shortly after acceleration begins.
Which is the best upgrade for an ACERT engine?
With gains of 1.5 mpg together with longer engine life, faster spool-up, more power and lower maintenance, the single turbo conversion is the best upgrade available for your Acert engine.

Are there Twin Turbos on an ACERT truck?
Before diving into the rational behind converting, let’s take a second to explore what exactly is on the truck from the factory. The Acert engine does NOT have twin turbos. Twin turbos implies that both turbos are the same, which is not the case on the Acert.
Can a caterpillar ACERT be converted to a single turbo?
The Acert-Caterpillar dual turbocharger system is highly complex with many inherent problems. By replacing the two turbocharger system with a high-performance Cat Acert single turbo, much of its complexity is eliminated.

What’s the difference between a Caterpillar C15 and C15 Acert?
Some people believe the only difference between the two is that the C15 has a single turbo, while the C15 ACERT has a second turbocharger. Speaking of which, we have a range of new and remanufacted ACERT turbos available right now! There’s more to the ACERT than that however.
When did Caterpillar switch to the ACERT engine?
They ran at high temperatures, guzzled fuel, and couldn’t pull very well. The Caterpillar C15 shifted over to the C15 ACERT in 2004. The term ACERT is an abbreviation for Advance Combustion Emission Reduction Technology. This engine mainly focused on the air and fuel systems in an effort to meet the strict EPA emission requirements set in 2002.
