As we all know, journal bearings have long been a turbocharger's strength and are still widely used in most turbochargers today. But here's the game-changer - the ball bearing cartridge! It's the latest in turbocharger bearing technology, bringing significant performance improvements. And Comp Turbo has taken it to a whole new level! Comp Turbo's innovative design and technology have set a new standard for quality, performance, and value. High-performance applications demand a turbocharger that can quickly accelerate to build boost pressure. This allows the engine to generate high torque at low speeds and deliver extremely high power at maximum speed. That's where Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers come in! Our ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball bearing design with an amazing 99% mechanical efficiency. Thanks to minimized friction losses, they offer a faster transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system. This dramatically improves response times and maximizes 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 compressor wheel with 7 - 14 vanes, representing the latest compressor design technology. It has a minimum diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip design for better efficiency at higher pressure ratios. The R-line design, with its maximum inducer diameters, can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced design compressor wheels are available across our entire CT turbocharger line. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, enabling faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design are unique and maximize the flow capacity, which is 30% more than the previous GT style turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high-flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity due to their longer surface blade length, minimizing losses. This results in higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow requirements and have minimal leaving gas velocity to boost 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 by a professional mechanic. When starting your engine, let it warm up for a bit before pushing it hard. This helps the oil circulate and lubricate the turbocharger components. When driving, avoid sudden stops and starts as much as possible, as this can put extra stress on the turbocharger. As for maintenance, regularly check the oil level. The turbocharger relies on oil for lubrication, so keeping the oil at the right level is crucial. Also, change the oil and oil filter according to your vehicle's recommended schedule. This will prevent debris from clogging the turbocharger. If you notice any unusual noises or a drop in performance, have your turbocharger inspected right away. Remember, turbochargers are built to order, so they take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver. Be patient and enjoy the high - performance benefits once it's installed.
