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 took on these issues and developed the world's first production oil-less water-cooled turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a version of the Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated with a 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 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 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, which represents the latest in 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 can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The advanced R-line compressor wheels are available on our full range of CT turbochargers. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, enabling faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design are unique and increase the flow capacity by 30% compared to the previous GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high-flow turbine wheels have less leaving velocity because of the longer blade surface, reducing losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a wider flow range than other turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are ideal for high exhaust flow needs and improve turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Install the turbocharger according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure it's mounted securely in any orientation you choose. You don't need to worry about oil lines, as it's an oil-less system. When starting your engine, let it warm up gradually to ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly. Maintenance Tips: Regularly check the Zerk fitting for easy servicing of the bearing system. The water jacket in the bearing housing helps with cooling, so keep an eye on the coolant levels. If you notice any unusual noises or performance issues, it might be time for a check-up. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so you can extend its lifespan and improve its performance over time. Ordering and Delivery: Remember, turbochargers are built to order. Once you place your order, expect to wait 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. Be patient, as this ensures you get a high - quality, custom - built product.
