Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super - high speeds. Using engine oil for turbocharger bearing systems has been the norm, but it comes with limitations like restricted mounting options, contamination risks, and leakage issues. Comp Turbo revolutionized the game by creating the world's first production oil - less turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system lubricated with a high - quality, non - channeling grease. The air - cooled model has an internal air passage behind the compressor wheel for cooling, no need for a water jacket. Without oil or water lines and with a Zerk fitting for easy servicing, these CTR Air - Cooled Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are perfect for low, mid, or remote mount setups. Comp Turbo's ball - bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball - bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. They respond faster than the industry - standard dual ball - bearing system due to less friction. This significantly improves response times and boosts power output. Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is in a billet aluminum housing, making our turbochargers 5 to 12 pounds lighter on average. All our turbochargers are proudly made in the USA and feature the latest R - Line technology, including 7/14 veined billet slim - hub extended - tip compressor wheels and slim - hub lightweight turbine wheels. Features include a Titanium Bullet Nose, full rebuildability/upgradeability, an Anti - Surge Compressor Housing, CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheels, no need for oil and water lines, and flexible mounting orientations. The CTR - line compressor wheels are 7 - 14 vaned, with a minimum - diameter hub for more intake airflow and an extended - tip design for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R - line design can increase engine HP output by up to 15% at high speeds. The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia for faster acceleration, a 30% higher flow capacity than the prior GT style, and minimal leaving losses for higher efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR3081S - 5858 Air - Cooled Turbocharger is straightforward. Since it doesn't need oil or water lines, installation is more flexible. You can mount it in any orientation that suits your setup. When it comes to maintenance, there's a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Make sure to follow the servicing schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Keep an eye on the overall performance of the turbocharger. If you notice any decrease in power or unusual noises, it might be time for a check - up. Also, remember that these turbochargers are built to order, so expect a 3 - 5 week delivery time. Don't try to modify the turbocharger on your own as it may void the warranty and affect its performance. Just enjoy the increased power and efficiency it brings to your engine.
