Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super - high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil was used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems, but it has drawbacks like limited mounting options, susceptibility to contaminants, leaks, and smoking. 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 feature a patented triple ball - bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This means faster transient response compared to the industry - standard dual ball - bearing system due to less friction. It 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. Our turbochargers are proudly made in the USA and feature the latest R - Line technology. The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim - hub extended - tip compressor wheel and CTR slim - hub lightweight turbine wheel offer top - notch rotor technology. 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 the ability to be mounted in any orientation. The CTR - line compressor wheels have 7 - 14 vanes, 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, a unique slim - hub and thin - blade design that increases flow capacity by 30% compared to the prior GT style. They also have minimal leaving velocity, which boosts turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR Air - Cooled Triplex Ceramic Turbocharger is straightforward. Just install it according to the provided instructions. Since it doesn't need oil or water lines, the installation process is less complex. You can mount it in any orientation that suits your engine setup. When it comes to maintenance, the Zerk fitting allows for easy servicing. Regularly check the turbocharger for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any unusual noises or a drop in performance, it's a good idea to have it inspected. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to arrive, so plan your projects accordingly. Also, since they're made with advanced technology, handle them with care during installation and maintenance to ensure they last and perform at their best.
