Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at extremely high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil has been used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems, but it comes with limitations and inconveniences. Oil-lubricated systems have restricted mounting options as oil needs to flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use expensive and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, leaking, and smoking. These issues inspired Comp Turbo to develop the world's first production oil-less water-cooled turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a version of the Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. Here, the bearings are lubricated by a special high-quality non-channeling grease. The bearing housing has a water jacket for cooling and a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Comp Turbo's ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This design reduces friction losses, resulting in a faster transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system. It significantly 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 than others. 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 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 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 that represents the latest in compressor design. 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, can produce higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line advanced compressor wheels are now available on 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% higher than the previous GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high-flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity due to their long surface blade length, reducing losses. This leads to 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 low leaving gas velocity to increase turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR3081S - 5858 Oil - Less Turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure it's installed correctly in your engine. Since it can be mounted in any orientation, you have flexibility in the installation process. Just remember to eliminate the need for oil lines as this turbocharger is oil - less. When it comes to maintenance, the Zerk fitting on the bearing housing makes servicing easy. You can use it to ensure the proper lubrication of the Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. This system is lubricated by a special non - channeling grease, so there's no need to worry about traditional oil - related issues. Keep an eye on the water - cooling system in the bearing housing. Make sure the water is flowing properly to maintain the right temperature. If you notice any performance issues, such as a decrease in power or slower response times, it might be time to check the compressor and turbine wheels. These wheels are designed for high performance, but they can get dirty or damaged over time. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if something goes wrong, you don't have to replace the whole unit. It takes 3 to 5 weeks to deliver as it's built to order, so plan your installation accordingly.
