Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super high speeds. Using engine oil for turbocharger bearing systems has been the norm, but it has limitations. Oil-lubricated systems have limited mounting options as oil needs to flow back to the engine by gravity, unless you use expensive and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contaminants from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. These issues inspired Comp Turbo to create the world's first production oil-less water-cooled turbocharger! Our patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated with a special high-quality non-channeling grease. The bearing housing has a water jacket for cooling and a Zerk fitting for easy maintenance. Comp Turbo ball bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This means faster transient response compared to the industry standard dual ball bearing system because of less friction loss. It significantly improves response times and boosts power output! Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is 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 our latest R-Line technology. It includes the CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high-efficiency CTR slim hub high-flow turbine wheel, our most advanced rotor technology yet. 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 small-diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R-line design, with large inducer diameters, can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced compressor wheels are available on our whole 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, 30% more than the old GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have little leaving velocity due to a longer blade surface, so leaving losses are minimized. This results in higher turbine efficiency and a wider flow range than other turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are great for high exhaust flow and have low leaving gas velocity, which boosts turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Install the turbocharger in your engine following the manufacturer's instructions. It can be mounted in any orientation, which gives you flexibility. Once installed, start your engine and let it run for a bit to make sure everything is working smoothly. The turbocharger will start to boost your engine's power as you drive. Maintenance Tips: Regularly check the bearing housing's water jacket to ensure proper cooling. You can use the Zerk fitting for easy servicing. If you notice any signs of wear or reduced performance, it's a good idea to have it inspected. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so you can keep it in top - shape over time. Also, since it has an oil - less system, you don't have to worry about oil lines or the problems associated with oil lubrication. Delivery: Remember that turbochargers are built to order, so it will take 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. Be patient and wait for it to be delivered to enjoy the enhanced power it brings to your engine.
