Product Description
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 limited mounting options as oil must flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contaminants from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. These issues inspired Comp Turbo to develop the world's first production oil-less turbocharger! Comp Turbo's patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated with a special high-quality non-channeling grease. The Air-Cooled model's bearing housing has an internal air passage behind the compressor wheel for cooling instead of a water jacket. 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 feature a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency! This results in a faster response than the industry-standard dual ball bearing system because of reduced friction losses. 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! 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 CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel, our most advanced rotor technology yet. 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, using the latest compressor design technology. It has a small-diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design 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 R-line advanced compressor wheels are available on our whole CT turbocharger line. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, leading to quicker rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design are unique and maximize flow capacity, increasing it by 30% compared to the old GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have low leaving velocity due to the longer blade length, reducing losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a wider flow range than other industry wheels. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow and have low leaving gas velocity to 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 your preferred orientation, as it can be installed in any position. Starting Up: When starting your engine, let it idle for a short time to allow the turbocharger to reach normal operating conditions. During Use: Monitor your engine performance regularly. If you notice any unusual noises, vibrations, or a drop in power, it could be a sign of an issue with the turbocharger. Maintenance: Keep the turbocharger clean. Use the Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Since it's an oil-less turbocharger, you don't have to worry about oil and water lines, but still check for any signs of damage or wear. Rebuilding and Upgrading: The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable. If you need to make any changes, refer to the manufacturer's guidelines or consult a professional. Delivery: Remember, turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. Plan your installation accordingly.
