Product Description
Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super high speeds. Using engine oil to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems has been the norm, but it comes with limitations and hassles. Oil-lubricated systems offer limited mounting options as oil must flow back to the engine by gravity, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contaminants from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. These issues inspired Comp Turbo to create the world's first production oil-less turbocharger! Comp Turbo's patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated by a special high-quality non-channeling grease. The Air-Cooled model's 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 ball bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency! This results in faster transient response compared to the industry-standard dual ball bearing system because of less friction loss. 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! The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel are part of our most advanced rotor technology yet. Features: • Titanium Bullet Nose • Fully Rebuildable/Upgradeable • Anti-Surge Compressor Housing • CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheel • No 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, 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 on our full line of CT turbochargers. 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 make it unique and maximize the flow capacity, 30% more than the old GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity because of the longer blade surface, so leaving losses are minimized. 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 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 Comp Turbo CTR3081SR - 5858 turbocharger is straightforward. First, you don't have to worry about oil or water lines as it's an oil - less and air - cooled design. You can mount it in any orientation that suits your setup, whether it's a low, mid, or remote mount. When it comes to maintenance, there's a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Make sure to keep an eye on the overall condition of the turbocharger. If you notice any unusual noises or a drop in performance, it might be time to check it out. Since it's fully rebuildable and upgradeable, you can extend its lifespan and improve its performance over time. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order, so expect a 3 - 5 week delivery time. Also, because of its advanced design, it offers great power output and fast response times, so you can enjoy a high - performance driving experience.
