Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super - high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil has been used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems, but it comes with limitations and hassles. Oil - lubricated systems have restricted mounting options as oil needs to flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo addressed these issues with an ingenious design, introducing the world's first production oil - less turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated by a top - quality, non - channeling grease. In the Air - Cooled model, instead of a water jacket, there's an internal air passage behind the compressor wheel for cooling. Without the need for oil or water lines and with a Zerk fitting for easy servicing, the CTR Air - Cooled Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are perfect for low, mid, or remote mount setups. Comp Turbo ball bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This means faster transient response compared to the industry - standard dual ball bearing system due to less friction. It significantly improves response times and boosts power output! Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is housed in a billet aluminum housing, making our turbochargers 5 to 12 pounds lighter on average. All our turbochargers are proudly made in the USA and feature the latest R - Line technology. This includes the CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel. Features: • Titanium Bullet Nose • Fully Rebuildable/Upgradeable • Anti - Surge Compressor Housing • CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheel • No need for oil and water lines • Can be mounted in any orientation CTR Compressor Wheel Technology: The CTR - line turbochargers have a 7 - 14 vaned compressor wheel, which is at the forefront of compressor design. It has a small - diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R - line design allows for higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and can increase engine HP output by up to 15%. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, enabling faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity, 30% more than the previous GT style. With minimal leaving velocity, these wheels have higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR3281S - 6062 Air - Cooled 1.0 Turbocharger is straightforward. Since it doesn't need oil or water lines, installation in different orientations is easy. Just make sure to follow the mounting instructions provided. When it comes to maintenance, the Zerk fitting makes it simple to service the turbocharger. You don't have to worry about oil contamination or leaks like with traditional turbochargers. However, remember that turbochargers are built to order and it takes 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. If you plan to upgrade or rebuild your turbocharger, it's fully possible as it has a rebuildable and upgradeable design. Always keep an eye on the performance of your engine and turbocharger. If you notice any unusual noises or a drop in power, it might be time for a check - up. Also, since the turbocharger is made in the USA with high - quality materials, it's built to last, but regular checks will ensure its long - term performance.
