As we all know, the journal bearing has long been a key strength of turbochargers and is still widely used in most models. However, the ball bearing cartridge represents the latest advancement in turbocharger bearing technology, offering significant performance improvements. Comp Turbo has taken this technology to a whole new level! Comp Turbo's innovative design and technology have set a new standard for quality, performance, and value. High-performance applications demand a turbocharger that can accelerate rapidly to build boost pressure as quickly as possible. This allows the engine to generate high torque at low engine speeds and deliver extremely high power output at maximum engine speeds. Enter Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers! Comp Turbo's ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball bearing design with an astonishing 99% mechanical efficiency. This results in a faster transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system, thanks to minimized friction losses. It dramatically improves response times and maximizes power output! Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is housed in a billet aluminum cartridge, making our turbochargers 5 to 12 pounds lighter on average than others. 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 the high-efficiency CTR slim hub lightweight 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 Bearing System CTR Compressor Wheel Technology: The CTR-line turbochargers come with a compressor wheel that has 7 - 14 vanes, embodying the latest compressor design technology. They have a minimum diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design for increased efficiency at higher pressure ratios. The R-line design, with maximum inducer diameters, produces higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and can increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced design compressor wheels are now available on our entire CT turbocharger line. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, leading to faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design make this wheel unique, and it maximizes the flow capacity, increasing it by 30% more than the previous GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high-flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity due to a longer surface blade length, minimizing leaving losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other available turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow requirements and have minimal leaving gas velocity, which increases turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your Comp Turbo turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once installed, start your engine as you normally would. The turbocharger will start working as the engine revs up, helping to boost power. When it comes to maintenance, check the oil regularly. The oil lubricates the turbocharger and keeps it running smoothly. If the oil level is low, top it up with the recommended oil type. Also, inspect the turbocharger for any signs of damage or wear, like cracks or loose parts. If you notice any issues, it's best to have a professional take a look. And remember, since these turbochargers are built to order, they take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver, so plan your installation accordingly.
