Product Description
The journal bearing has long been a turbocharger's strength and is still widely used. But the ball bearing cartridge is the latest in turbocharger bearing tech, bringing huge performance boosts. Comp Turbo takes it to a new level! Their innovative design and tech set a new standard for quality, performance, and value. High-performance applications need a turbocharger that can quickly build boost pressure, enabling the engine to generate high torque at low speeds and high power at max speed. Enter Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers! These ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. Thanks to minimized friction losses, they offer a faster transient response than the industry-standard dual ball bearing system, greatly improving response times and maximizing 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 lightweight high-flow turbine wheel, our most advanced rotor tech 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 have a 7 - 14 vaned compressor wheel with the latest compressor design tech. They have a minimum diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R-line design, with maximum inducer diameters, can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced design 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 faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design make them unique and maximize flow capacity, increasing it by 30% compared to the prior GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity due to a longer surface blade length, reducing leaving losses. This results in higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than industry-standard turbine wheels. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow requirements and have minimal leaving gas velocity to increase 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 installed correctly according to the vehicle's specifications. When starting the engine, let it warm up a bit before putting it under heavy load. This helps the oil circulate properly and lubricate the turbocharger. During normal operation, avoid sudden and extreme throttle changes as much as possible. It can put unnecessary stress on the turbocharger. When you're done driving, don't turn off the engine immediately. Let it idle for a minute or two to allow the turbocharger to cool down gradually. As for maintenance, regularly check the oil level and quality. Clean or replace the air filter as recommended by the manufacturer. This keeps the air flowing smoothly and prevents dirt from entering the turbocharger. Every so often, inspect the turbocharger for any signs of damage, like leaks or unusual noises. If you notice anything wrong, it's best to have it checked by a professional. Remember, turbochargers are built to order, so they take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver. Be patient and look forward to the improved performance they'll bring to your engine.
