Should you keep the "TWIN Turbos" or Single Turbo CAT C15 Acert?

- Yes yes yes, I know they're not twins :), but I knew most people refer to them as twins and I wanted to make it easier for folks to find this video so that we can all learn something!
Considering single turbo-ing you Caterpillar C15 acert? Then this is the video for you!
The Caterpillar C15 ACERT comes from the factory with COMPOUND turbos, a GT42 and a GT55. While these turbos are fantastic, that can be costly and difficult to work around. Many folks opt to single turbo turbo their C15 acert to simply that side of the engine, this making it easier and more cost effective to maintain.
There is no right or wrong answer here, but I am going to do me best to tell you the PROs and CONs of each!

4 years on your FullTilt manifold and single turbo 80mm 1.32 and good tune. 700hp on a crank. No issues. Absolutely love this set up!
I'm looking at twins alert engine what do I need to lookout for?
Dang that was perfectly said . And really thanks now I really understand. Good teaching. All I hear I negative about acert but I have over a million miles keep it toon and oil change ,breathers ,transmission oil ,and differentials, greesed . Run 65 miles no issues thanks to the good lord. I've learned there very good motors. 18 spd eaton fuller, 336 rear gears love the truck
Thanks for the lesson .
Great video brotha learned a lot
Amazing video!
as usual another great video.
As a new diesel mechanic this was a great educational vid
Very well done video and absolutely hate the Navicat truck. We hated those when I worked at the dealer!!!
The two turbos fit pretty tight. The two turbos are great. I am happy with my 2011 caterpillar engine. My truck was built in 2010 but titled as 2011. The only thing that I would change is the exhaust filter. Although the filter works very well just don't shut off the engine if the exhaust indicates it is hot. When it's hot carbon is being cooked.
Definitely waffles, less cake and more crunch and not soggy as fast and they go better with fruit toppings😊 Oh and I believe that twins are better because of more frequent street driving ... More streetable is worth the extra clutter in the end requirement for me
Good stuff.
Nice man
Great Video! In your opinion do you think the C-15 Acert Factory Two Turbos cause blowby earlier in the engines life than the original 3406 or 6NZ single turbo?
Great information, as I have the accert with the compound set-up and have contemplating the switch to single turbo, when mine needs replacing.
I will contact you for getting the whole kit.
Again, thanks!
I think it's time to get this compound crap off my back! Shit leaks like a wicker basket!
Will my Steed Speed Manifold still werk with the single conversion?
Will you recommend a tune? I have mxs single, bought the truck already converted,
I have an MXS C15, is there different size compound turbos or are they all the same?
Great video, do you guys do tunes or a remote tune for my 6NZ?
We don't do any tuning, sorry! But there's plenty of good tuners out there for the 6NZ platform fortunately!
I do. PM me
I know lots of guys that make more power and get better mileage. I did that with my old big cam Cummins and I have friends that have done it with 12.7 Detroit engines.
Are there any twinscroll options for applications this large?
Do you have similar video's for a C13? or is the findings/comparison the same?
I drive a C15 Acert MXS. There have been several drivers before me and I’m just now getting the truck to 400,000 miles. Bad blow by and oil coming out from where the pan and bottom end meet. Does this blow by not only affect the motor but also the compounds? Power is all there and fuel mileage is sitting at 3.1 mpg.
Hey, can you do a video explaining more on the SDP? That would be great because it looks like nobody ever talks about them. For a second I thought you were but you said we are not going to talk about them which was a bummer for me lol thank you I appreciate it. Hopefully you read my comment.
I heard the compression ratio of the single is bigger than the twin, if you make the conversion and dont replace the piston rings to high performance piston rings and the head block as well you are more likely to have an engine blow out due to more power being put in.
I love waffles!!
The other thing if you put a single turbo in a acert , caterpillar will not work in you truck
I heard that the single turbo conversions get low boost on the low side it’s no power
Stock compounds will squeeze 1100hp but your egt will be high.
Not very good for a working truck
How much boost is you talking about if I convert over to single but keep the 18:1… cause I make 45 psi on the manifold gauge
2 singles!
I have a question
I have a kw t660 2014 with a paccar engine . We taking this engine out and putting a 60 serie 14 l ddv I would like to know what's the best set up to haul
Can I use the manifold off my 5ek and BW s410g to convert my MXS?
Depending on the orientation, yes
What's the cost involved in switching to a single and what else needs to be done?
Upgraded twins are far wider, more efficient and better spooling.
Oil supply/discharge, exhaust manifold, CAC plumbing, etc.
Twin lovers
So? What y’all think? Get one at momentum worx or at the dealership? They want like $8K and is like $4k for the yellow box!😂 If the oem are made by Garrett is better to take Cat dealer out of the way and get the brand directly or these guys right?
Keep it stock. And simple
Opinion on cat c13 accert
i have a c-13 with 1million,200,000 on it--got it from cat factory as a rebuilt long block after a bearing spin on rebuilt--cat replaced no charge on warranty-accert-uses 1 gallon of oil between changes--my 2nd one--light weight,great fuel mileage-i think they are great motors--will go one turbo on rebuild by pti--i have only replaced one injector in all those miles
I prefer compound waffles. One waffle just isn’t enough.
I like waffles & Pancakes
I like waffles extra butter and syrup
Actually "compound" is definition of turbo that applying it's output energy on the crankshaft - this system is used currently in Volvo and Scania trucks, powered by "in house" powertrain (now applied in "International", due to using Scania's powertrain).
And VAG define such type ACERT"s "twin" as "Bi-Turbo"
I believe what you are referring to is “Turbo Compounding” which is not the same as “Compounding Turbos” like what are found on C15’s. Turbo compounding is using exhaust pressure to provide energy directly to the crankshaft. Compounding turbos are just that, turbos that compound their flows and pressure.
Duel singles
you got me ! This comment literally made me LOL, please leave more
Anyone see mileage improvement after switching to single?
yes 7.5
Yes and a lot less heat also.
I think I need to retune mine or maybe a smaller turbo, because mine runs a lot hotter on EGT than when i had the compounds.
Depends on the area but i've got as much as eight miles a gallon
My truck runs better on a single turbo then it ever did on a compound system
Tampering with the turbos on the acert engines is messing with a emissions device that’s why cat did that. It’s very illegal
