Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super - high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil has been used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems. However, it comes with limitations and hassles. Oil - lubricated systems have limited mounting options as oil usually needs to flow back to the engine by gravity, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contaminants from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo revolutionized the game by creating the world's first production oil - less water - cooled turbocharger! Our patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated with a top - notch, 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 means a quicker transient response compared to the industry - standard dual ball bearing system because of reduced friction losses. It significantly improves response times and boosts 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 a CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and a 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 tech. It has 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, can generate higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The advanced R - line compressor wheels are available across our CT turbocharger line. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, leading to faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design are unique and boost the flow capacity by 30% compared to the old GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high - flow turbine wheels have low leaving velocity due to their long blade length, minimizing leaving losses. This results in higher turbine efficiency and a wider flow range than industry - standard turbine wheels. CTR turbine wheels are ideal for high - exhaust - flow requirements and can enhance turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Install the turbocharger following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure it's mounted in a suitable position, as it can be mounted in any orientation. When starting the engine, let it warm up gradually to ensure proper operation. Note that turbochargers are built to order and it takes 3 to 5 weeks to get your product. Important Things to Note: Keep the turbocharger away from contaminants. Since it's an oil - less system, you don't have to worry about oil - related issues like leaks or smoking, but it's still important to maintain a clean environment around it. Maintenance Tips: Service your turbocharger regularly. Use the Zerk fitting for easy servicing of the bearing system. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if you notice any performance issues, you can consider rebuilding or upgrading it. Check the compressor and turbine wheels periodically for any signs of damage.
