As we all know, journal bearings have long been a turbocharger's strong - suit and are still widely used in most turbochargers today. However, Comp Turbo has taken turbocharger bearing technology to a new height with its ball - bearing cartridge. This latest technology offers significant performance improvements. 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 quickly accelerate to build boost pressure. This allows the engine to generate high torque at low engine speeds and produce extremely high - power output at maximum engine speeds. Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are the answer. These ball - bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball - bearing design with an astonishing 99% mechanical efficiency. Due to minimized friction losses, they offer a faster transient response compared to the industry - standard dual ball - bearing system. This 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, representing our most advanced rotor technology. 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 have a 7 - 14 vaned compressor wheel, embodying the latest compressor design technology. With a minimum - diameter hub, they maximize intake airflow, and the extended - tip design boosts efficiency at higher pressure ratios. The R - line design, with maximum inducer diameters, generates higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and can increase engine HP output by up to 15%. This advanced design is now available on our full line of CT turbochargers. CTR High - Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, enabling faster rotor acceleration. Their slim - hub and thin - blade design is unique, and it maximizes the flow capacity, 30% more than the previous GT - style turbine wheel. The longer surface blade length results in minimal leaving velocity, reducing losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other industry - available turbine wheels. These wheels are designed for high exhaust - flow requirements and have minimal leaving gas velocity to enhance 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 is properly installed according to the vehicle's specifications. Connect all the necessary oil and exhaust lines securely. Once installed, start your engine as normal. The turbocharger will automatically start working as the engine revs up. When it comes to maintenance, check the oil level regularly. Clean oil is crucial for the smooth operation of the turbocharger's bearing system. Also, inspect the compressor and turbine wheels for any signs of damage or debris. If you notice any unusual noises or a decrease in performance, it's a good idea to have a professional check it out. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order, so if you need a replacement part or an upgrade, keep in mind that it may take 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. And don't forget that your turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so you can keep it performing at its best for a long time.
