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 have restricted mounting options as oil needs to flow back to the engine by gravity, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, leaking, and smoking. Comp Turbo's innovative approach led to 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 by 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 design reduces friction losses, resulting in a faster transient response than the industry-standard dual ball bearing system. 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 the latest R-Line technology. The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high-efficiency CTR slim hub high-flow turbine wheel offer our most advanced rotor technology. 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 boost intake airflow and an extended tip design for better efficiency at higher pressure ratios. The R-line design, with maximum inducer diameters, can generate higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. This advanced design is available across our CT turbocharger line. 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 flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. The longer surface blade length reduces leaving velocity, minimizing losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other industry turbine wheels. CTR turbine wheels are ideal for high exhaust flow requirements and improve turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: First, make sure your turbocharger is installed correctly by a professional. Once installed, start your engine and let it warm up for a bit before driving hard. This gives the turbocharger time to reach the right operating temperature. Pay attention to your engine's performance while driving. If you notice any strange noises or a drop in power, it could be a sign of a problem. Maintenance Tips: Regularly check the Zerk fitting in the bearing housing and lubricate it as recommended. Keep an eye on the water jacket to ensure proper cooling. If you notice any leaks or issues with the cooling system, get it fixed right away. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable. If you plan to do any work on it, make sure you follow the instructions carefully or have it done by a qualified mechanic. Ordering and Delivery: Remember, these turbochargers are built to order. Once you place your order, expect a delivery time of 3 to 5 weeks. Be patient and wait for your high - performance turbocharger to arrive.
