The journal bearing has long been a turbocharger's strength and is still widely used. But the ball bearing cartridge, the latest in turbocharger bearing technology, brings huge performance improvements. Comp Turbo takes it to a new level! Their innovative design and technology set a new standard for quality, performance, and value. High - performance applications need a turbocharger that can quickly accelerate to build boost pressure. This allows the engine to generate high torque at low speeds and high - power output at maximum speed. Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are the answer. Comp Turbo ball bearing turbochargers have a patented triplex ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This results in a faster transient response than the industry - standard dual ball bearing system due to reduced friction losses, improving response times and maximizing power output. The patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is housed in a billet aluminum cartridge, making our turbochargers 5 to 12 pounds lighter on average. Our turbochargers are proudly made in the USA and feature the latest R - Line technology. The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high - efficiency CTR slim hub lightweight high - flow turbine wheel represent our most advanced rotor technology. 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 using the latest compressor design. With a minimum - diameter hub, it maximizes intake airflow, and the extended tip design boosts 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. The slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style. With minimal leaving velocity, losses are minimized, resulting in higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using the Comp Turbo CTR2971S - 5553 turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly installed in your engine system following the provided installation guide. When starting the engine, let it warm up for a short while before putting it under heavy load. This helps the oil to lubricate all the components well. As for maintenance, regularly check the oil level and quality. The oil is crucial for the turbocharger's smooth operation, so change it as recommended by the manufacturer. Also, inspect the turbocharger for any signs of damage or wear, like loose parts or abnormal noises. If you notice anything wrong, it's best to have it checked by a professional. Remember, this turbocharger is built to order, so it takes 3 to 5 weeks to deliver. And it's fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if you need to enhance its performance later, you can do so.
