Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super high speeds. Usually, engine oil is used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems, but it has its limits. Oil-lubricated systems offer limited mounting options. Oil must flow back into the engine by gravity, or you need expensive and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contaminants from engine wear, and can leak or smoke. Comp Turbo addressed these issues with an innovative design and technology, introducing the world's first production oil-less water-cooled turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated by a special high-quality non-channeling grease. The bearing housing has a water jacket for cooling and a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Comp Turbo ball bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This results in a faster transient response than the industry standard dual ball bearing system due to less friction loss. It significantly improves response times and maximizes power output! Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is in a billet aluminum cartridge, making our turbochargers 5 to 12 pounds lighter on average. Our entire line of turbochargers is proudly made in the USA and features our latest R-Line technology. It includes the CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high efficiency CTR slim hub high flow turbine wheel, our most advanced rotor technology yet. Features: • Titanium Bullet Nose • Fully Rebuildable/Upgradeable • Anti-Surge Compressor Housing • CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheel • Triplex Ceramic Oil-Less Bearing System • Can be mounted in any orientation • Eliminates oil lines CTR Compressor Wheel Technology: The CTR-line turbochargers have a 7 - 14 vaned compressor wheel with the latest compressor design technology. They have a small-diameter hub to increase intake airflow and an extended tip design for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R-line design, with maximum inducer diameters, can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced design compressor wheels are available on our whole line of CT turbochargers. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, which means faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design make this wheel special and maximize the flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity because of the longer surface blade length, so losses are minimized. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow and have low leaving gas velocity to increase turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Once you receive your turbocharger, make sure it's properly installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. It can be mounted in any orientation, which gives you flexibility. The turbocharger is designed to boost your engine's performance, so expect an increase in power and faster response times. Notice that it uses a special non-channeling grease for lubrication and has a water jacket for cooling. Maintenance: Regularly check the Zerk fitting for easy servicing. If you need to rebuild or upgrade the turbocharger, it's fully rebuildable and upgradeable. However, if you're not experienced, it's best to have a professional do it. The turbocharger is built to last, but like any mechanical part, it needs some care. Delivery: Remember, turbochargers are built to order, so it will take 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. Be patient and look forward to improved engine performance once it's installed.
