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 like restricted mounting options, contamination risks, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo revolutionized the game by introducing the world's first production oil - less water - cooled turbocharger! Our patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system lubricated by a top - quality non - channeling grease. The bearing housing has a water jacket for cooling and a Zerk fitting for easy maintenance. These ball - bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. They respond faster than the industry - standard dual ball bearing system due to less friction, improving response times and boosting power output. Our turbochargers are also lighter, thanks to the billet aluminum cartridge housing the Triplex Ceramic bearing system. Made proudly in the USA, they feature our latest R - Line technology, including a 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and a high - efficiency slim hub high - flow turbine wheel. 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 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 increase engine HP by up to 15% at high speeds. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, accelerating faster. Their slim hub and thin blade design boost flow capacity by 30% compared to the old GT style. With minimal leaving velocity, they offer higher efficiency and a wider flow range. Turbochargers are custom - built and take 3 to 5 weeks for delivery.
Using your Comp Turbo Oil - Less Turbocharger is straightforward. First, ensure it is correctly mounted in your preferred orientation as it can be installed in any way. Since it doesn't require oil lines, you don't have to worry about complex oil - feeding setups. When your engine is running, the turbocharger will start working to boost power. However, there are some things to keep in mind. This turbocharger is custom - built, so it takes 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. Once you have it, don't forget to check the Zerk fitting for easy servicing. For maintenance, regularly inspect the bearing housing's water jacket to make sure it's cooling the turbocharger effectively. The Triplex Ceramic Oil - Less Bearing System is low - maintenance, but still, keep an eye on it. If you notice any decrease in performance, you can fully rebuild or upgrade the turbocharger as it's designed to be serviceable. Also, be aware that the compressor and turbine wheels are designed for high - performance. Don't subject them to extreme conditions beyond their specified limits to ensure a long lifespan.
