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 inconveniences. Oil-lubricated systems offer limited mounting options as oil must be gravity-fed back into the engine unless you use expensive and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contaminants from engine wear, leaking, and smoking. Comp Turbo addressed these issues with an innovative design and technology, introducing the world's first production oil-less turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a version of the Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system, where the bearings are lubricated by a high-quality, non-channeling grease. The Air-Cooled model's bearing housing has an internal air passage behind the compressor wheel for cooling instead of a water jacket. Without the need for oil or water lines and with a Zerk fitting for easy servicing, the CTR Air-Cooled Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are perfect for low, mid, or remote mount setups. Comp Turbo 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 due to minimized friction losses, dramatically improving response times and maximizing power output. Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is housed in a billet aluminum housing, 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 CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel, our most advanced rotor technology yet. Features: • Titanium Bullet Nose • Fully Rebuildable/Upgradeable • Anti-Surge Compressor Housing • CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheel • Eliminates the need for oil and water lines • Can be mounted in any orientation 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% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity because of 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 and have minimal leaving gas velocity to increase turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your Triplex Ceramic Oil-Less and Air-Cooled Turbocharger is a breeze. First, since it doesn't need oil or water lines, you have the flexibility to mount it in any orientation that suits your engine setup. This turbocharger comes with a Zerk fitting, which makes servicing easy. When it comes to maintenance, check the bearing system regularly. Although the bearings are lubricated by a high - quality non - channeling grease, over time, you might need to replace or top up the grease. You can use the Zerk fitting for this purpose. Also, keep an eye on the compressor and turbine wheels. Look for any signs of damage or wear, such as chips or cracks. If you notice any issues, the turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable. Just remember, turbochargers are built to order, so it will take 3 to 5 weeks to get your new one if you need a replacement. Enjoy the increased power and faster response times that this turbocharger provides!
