Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super - high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil has been used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems. However, it comes with limitations like restricted mounting options, contamination risks, and leakage issues. Comp Turbo changed 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. 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. Our ball - bearing turbochargers feature a patented triple ball - bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This means faster 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. The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high - efficiency CTR slim hub high - flow turbine wheel are part of our most advanced rotor technology. Key features include a Titanium Bullet Nose, full rebuildability and upgradeability, an Anti - Surge Compressor Housing, CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheels, a Triplex Ceramic Oil - Less Bearing System, flexible mounting in any orientation, and the elimination of oil lines. The CTR - line compressor wheels have 7 - 14 vanes, a minimum - diameter hub for maximum intake airflow, and an extended tip design for better efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R - line design can increase engine HP output by up to 15% at high speeds. The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, leading to faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity by 30% more than the previous GT - style Turbine wheel. They also have minimal leaving velocity, resulting in 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 CTR55106S - 106110 turbocharger is straightforward. Just make sure it's installed correctly according to the provided guidelines. Since it can be mounted in any orientation, you have the flexibility to place it as needed in your engine setup. When it comes to maintenance, check the Zerk fitting regularly. You can use it to service the bearing system easily. The water jacket in the bearing housing helps keep things cool, so make sure the water - cooling system is in good working order. As for general care, avoid exposing the turbocharger to extreme dirt or debris. If you notice any unusual noises or performance issues, it's a good idea to have it inspected. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to arrive, so plan your installation accordingly.
