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 inconveniences. Oil-lubricated systems have limited mounting options as oil needs to flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use expensive and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, leaking, and smoking. Comp Turbo addressed these issues with an innovative design and technology, introducing 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 with 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 leads to a faster transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system because of 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 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, representing the latest compressor design technology. They have a minimum diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design for better efficiency at higher pressure ratios. The R-line design, with maximum 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 now available on our full range of CT turbochargers. 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 maximize the 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 other available turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow requirements and have minimal leaving gas velocity to boost turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR5594S-94106 Oil-Less Turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure to mount it in any orientation that suits your setup since it doesn't rely on oil lines. This also means you don't have to worry about oil leakage and smoking. The turbocharger will significantly boost your engine's power output and response times, thanks to its advanced bearing system and high - efficiency compressor and turbine wheels. When it comes to maintenance, the bearing housing has a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. You can use the appropriate lubricant to keep the Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system in good shape. The water jacket in the bearing housing helps with cooling, so ensure that the water - cooling system is functioning properly. Also, since the turbocharger is built to order and takes 3 to 5 weeks to deliver, plan your installation accordingly. If you want to upgrade or rebuild the turbocharger, it's fully possible as it's designed with that in mind. Just follow the standard procedures for turbocharger upgrades or rebuilds. Keep an eye on the compressor and turbine wheels for any signs of damage or wear, and replace them if necessary to maintain optimal performance.
