Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super - 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, need gravity - fed oil return or costly scavenging systems, are prone to contaminants from engine wear, and can leak or smoke. Comp Turbo's revolutionary design gave birth to the world's first production oil - less turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system 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, no need for a water jacket. Without 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 have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. They offer faster transient response than the industry - standard dual ball bearing system due to less friction loss, improving response times and boosting 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, including the CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel. Features: • Titanium Bullet Nose • Fully Rebuildable/Upgradeable • Anti - Surge Compressor Housing • CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheel • No 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 tech. It has a small - diameter hub for more intake airflow and an extended tip for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R - line design can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia for faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design increase flow capacity by 30% compared to the prior GT style Turbine wheel. They have minimal leaving velocity, leading to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your Comp Turbo CTR Air - Cooled 1.0 Turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure to mount it in your preferred orientation as it can be installed in any position. Since it doesn't need oil or water lines, the installation process is less complex. Once installed, start your engine and enjoy the increased power and performance. When it comes to maintenance, check the Zerk fitting regularly. It's there to make servicing easy. You can use it to keep the bearings well - lubricated with the special non - channeling grease. Remember, turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. If you plan to upgrade or rebuild your turbocharger, it's fully possible as it has a rebuildable and upgradeable design. Keep an eye on the performance of your turbocharger. If you notice any decrease in power or unusual noises, it might be time for a check - up. Overall, with proper use and maintenance, your Comp Turbo turbocharger will serve you well for a long time.
