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 have restricted mounting options, as oil must flow back to 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's innovative design led to the world's first production oil-less water-cooled turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system, 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 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 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! The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high-efficiency CTR slim hub high-flow turbine wheel bring you 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, representing the latest in 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, leading to faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. They have minimal leaving velocity, which means less loss and higher turbine efficiency. CTR turbine wheels are ideal for high exhaust flow needs. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Once your turbocharger is delivered, you can mount it in any orientation you like as it doesn't rely on oil lines. This gives you more flexibility during installation. When your engine is running, the turbocharger will start working to increase the power output by forcing more air into the engine. Note that the turbocharger is built to order, so it takes 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. Please plan your project accordingly. Maintenance Tips: The bearing housing has a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. You can use it to maintain the bearings lubricated with the proprietary high - quality non - channeling grease. The water jacket in the bearing housing helps with cooling, so make sure the cooling system is working properly. If you need to rebuild or upgrade your turbocharger, it's fully rebuildable and upgradeable. Just follow the standard procedures or consult our customer service for more detailed guidance. Also, keep an eye on the performance of your turbocharger. If you notice any abnormal noises, reduced power output, or other issues, it might need inspection and maintenance.
