Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers that spin 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 must flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contaminants from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo tackled these issues head - on. Their innovative design led to 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, proprietary 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 means faster transient response compared to the industry standard dual ball bearing system due to 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 the 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. 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 tech. It has a small - diameter hub to maximize 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, leading to faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. They have minimal leaving velocity, which means less loss and higher turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Install the turbocharger according to the provided instructions. Make sure to mount it in the right orientation, as this model can be mounted in any position. Once installed, start your engine and let it run for a bit to check for proper operation. You'll notice improved power output and faster response times. Maintenance: Regularly check the Zerk fitting for the bearing lubrication. If needed, add the recommended proprietary non - channeling grease. Keep an eye on the water jacket for cooling. Ensure there's no leakage and that the coolant is at the right level. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if you encounter any issues or want to enhance performance, you can take it to a professional for servicing. Be patient! Since turbochargers are built to order, it takes 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. Don't rush the installation process and always follow the safety guidelines during installation and maintenance.
