Product Description
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 to the engine by gravity unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, as well as leaks and smoking. Comp Turbo addressed these issues with an innovative design, 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, where 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's ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency! This results in a faster transient response compared to 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. It has 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, can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced design compressor wheels are available on our entire CT turbocharger line. 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, 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, minimizing leaving losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow requirements and have minimal leaving gas velocity, which increases 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 according to your vehicle's specifications. Since it can be mounted in any orientation and doesn't require oil lines, installation gives you more flexibility. When your engine is running, the turbocharger will start working automatically, boosting your engine's power. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order, so expect a 3 - 5 week delivery time. For maintenance, use the Zerk fitting on the bearing housing for easy servicing. The bearing system uses a special grease, so there's no need to worry about engine oil contamination. However, keep an eye on the water - cooling system. Ensure the water jacket in the bearing housing is functioning properly to prevent overheating. If you notice any signs of reduced performance or unusual noises, it might be time to have your turbocharger checked. Our turbochargers are fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so don't hesitate to contact us if you need to enhance its performance in the future.
