Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at extremely high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil has been used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems, but it comes with limitations and hassles. Oil-lubricated systems offer limited mounting options as oil must flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use expensive and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. These issues inspired Comp Turbo to develop the world's first production oil-less water-cooled turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated by a high-quality, non-channeling grease. The bearing housing has a water jacket for cooling and a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Comp Turbo's ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency! This results in a faster transient response than the industry-standard dual ball bearing system, thanks to minimized friction losses. It significantly 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 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 with the latest compressor design technology. They have a small-diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R-line design, with its large inducer diameters, produces higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and can increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced design compressor wheels are available on our full line of CT turbochargers. 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 are unique and maximize the flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity due to a longer blade surface, reducing losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other industry turbine wheels. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow 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 oil-less turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure it's installed correctly in your engine system. Since it can be mounted in any orientation, you have more flexibility during installation. Once installed, your turbocharger will start working as soon as your engine runs. It'll boost your engine's power output and improve response times. When it comes to maintenance, the Zerk fitting on the bearing housing makes it easy to service. You don't have to worry about oil lines or the issues that come with oil-lubricated systems. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if you want to enhance its performance in the future, you can. Keep in mind that these turbochargers are built to order, so it'll take 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. If you have any questions or run into problems, don't hesitate to contact our support team.
