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 limited 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, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo tackled these issues with an innovative design, introducing 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 with 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 have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency! This results in a quicker transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system, thanks to reduced friction losses. It significantly improves response times and boosts 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 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, representing the latest in compressor design. 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 its large inducer diameters, can generate higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. This advanced design compressor wheel is available across our 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 flow capacity, increasing it by 30% compared to the old GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have low leaving velocity due to longer blade lengths, minimizing losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a wider flow range than other turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow and have low leaving gas velocity to boost turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Install the turbocharger following the provided instructions. Make sure it's mounted securely and all connections are tight. The turbocharger can be mounted in any orientation, which gives you flexibility. Since it's oil-less, you don't have to worry about oil lines. Just ensure the water cooling system is properly connected and functioning. Notice: Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. Don't try to modify the turbocharger on your own as it may void the warranty. Keep it away from extreme heat and moisture. Maintenance: The bearing housing has a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Regularly check the water jacket for any signs of leaks or blockages. If the turbocharger shows any signs of reduced performance, like slower response or lower power output, have it inspected by a professional. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if needed, you can get it serviced to keep it in top condition.
