PERFORMANCE UPGRADES

Reduce Fuel and CO2

FOR SELECT 3500, 3600, AND C280 ENGINES

Even though you’re overhauling an old engine, there’s no reason you can’t benefit from modern technologies. Cat® Performance Upgrades—available on select Marine 3500 and 3600 engines—include parts that can bring your engine’s performance in line with current standards.

The upgrade includes proven system parts to convert from a mechanical to an electronic injection control system for a significant fuel reduction.

Performance Upgrades also improve load acceptance and acceleration while reducing vibration and noise. They use genuine Cat parts to improve diagnostics and displays for an exceptional lifespan.
