The journal bearing has long been a turbocharger's strength and is still widely used. However, Comp Turbo's ball bearing cartridge represents the latest turbocharger bearing technology, bringing significant performance improvements. Comp Turbo's innovative design and technology have set a new standard for quality, performance, and value. High-performance applications need a turbocharger that can quickly accelerate to build boost pressure, enabling the engine to generate high torque at low speeds and high power at maximum speeds. Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are the answer. These ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This results in a faster transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system due to minimized friction losses, greatly improving response times and maximizing 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 the high-efficiency CTR slim hub lightweight 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 Bearing System CTR Compressor Wheel Technology: The CTR-line turbochargers have a 7 - 14 vaned compressor wheel with the latest compressor design technology. It has a minimum diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design 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 for faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design are unique and can increase the flow capacity by 30% compared to the prior GT style Turbine wheel. These wheels have minimal leaving velocity, which means minimized losses, leading to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range. They are designed for high exhaust flow requirements and can increase turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your Comp Turbo turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. When starting your engine, let it idle for a short time to allow the oil to circulate through the turbocharger. This helps lubricate the bearings and reduces wear. During normal operation, avoid sudden and extreme throttle changes as this can put unnecessary stress on the turbocharger. As for maintenance, regularly check the oil level and quality. The oil is crucial for lubricating the turbocharger's moving parts, so keep it clean and at the right level. Also, inspect the air intake and exhaust systems for any signs of damage or blockage. If you notice any unusual noises or a decrease in performance, it's a good idea to have your turbocharger checked by a professional. Remember, turbochargers are built to order, so if you need a replacement or an upgrade, be prepared to wait 3 to 5 weeks for delivery.
