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 restricted mounting options as oil needs to flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, as well as oil leaks and smoking. These issues inspired Comp Turbo to develop the world's first production oil-less turbocharger! The 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. In the Air-Cooled model, the bearing housing has an internal air passage behind the compressor wheel for cooling instead of a water jacket. Without the need for oil or water lines, and with a Zerk fitting for easy servicing, the CTR Air-Cooled Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are perfect for low, mid, or remote mount setups. Comp Turbo's ball bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency! This results in a faster transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system because of reduced friction losses. It significantly improves response times and boosts power output! Our patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is housed in a billet aluminum housing, 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 CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel, our most advanced rotor technology yet. Features: • Titanium Bullet Nose • Fully Rebuildable/Upgradeable • Anti-Surge Compressor Housing • CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheel • Eliminates the need for oil and water lines • Can be mounted in any orientation 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 its large inducer diameters, produces higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and can increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced compressor wheels are available across our CT turbocharger line. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, leading to quicker rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design are unique and maximize the flow capacity, 30% more than the previous GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity due to their long blade length, which reduces losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a wider flow range than other industry turbine wheels. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow needs and have low leaving gas velocity for increased turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR2871S - 5147 turbocharger is straightforward. Since it doesn't need oil or water lines, installation is flexible and can be mounted in any orientation. Just connect it properly to your engine. When it comes to maintenance, the Zerk fitting makes servicing easy. You can use it to keep the bearings in good condition. It's fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if you notice any issues or want to enhance performance, you can do so. However, remember that these turbochargers are built to order and it takes 3 to 5 weeks to get them delivered. Always handle with care during installation and maintenance to avoid any damage to the components like the compressor and turbine wheels.
