IPD - Caterpillar C15 ACERT 16:1 Overhaul kit - KIF6615/12/CS

As an official stocking distributor for IPD, BPS Diesel offers the premium Caterpillar C15 Acert Low Compression Conversion Inframe Rebuild Kit (KIF6615/12/CS)—a high-performance solution designed to convert your twin-turbo engine to a single-turbo setup by reducing the compression ratio from 18:1 to 16:1, restoring enhanced torque, efficiency, and durability without removing the block.

Tailored for off-highway applications in heavy-haul trucking, construction, and industrial fleets (BXS, MXS, NXS serial prefixes), this kit features IPD's IPDSteel® welded pistons for superior strength and heat resistance, crevice seal liners with 0.001” oversized ID to prevent scuffing and improve sealing, and precision components that exceed OEM standards. This upgrade minimizes downtime, reduces stress on the engine, and extends service life in extreme conditions—no core charge required. Note: For off-highway use only, with no warranty.
