As we all know, the journal bearing has long been a turbocharger's strong - suit and is still widely used in most turbochargers. However, Comp Turbo's ball bearing cartridge represents the latest turbocharger bearing technology, bringing 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. Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are the answer. These ball - bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball - bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This results in a faster transient response compared to the industry - standard dual ball - bearing system, thanks to minimized friction losses. It 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. 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, our most advanced rotor technology 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, which is at the forefront of compressor design. It has a minimum - 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%. 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 it can increase the flow capacity by 30% compared to the prior GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high - flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity, which minimizes losses, leading to higher 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 properly installed in your engine system by a professional mechanic. Once installed, start your engine as you normally would. The turbocharger will start working as the engine runs, providing that extra boost. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the oil level. Since it's an oil - lubricated turbocharger, proper lubrication is crucial for its performance and longevity. Change the oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Also, keep an eye on the bearing system. If you notice any strange noises or a drop in performance, it might be time to have it inspected. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order, so if you need any parts replaced or an upgrade, it may take 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. And always follow the safety procedures when working around the engine and turbocharger.
