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 significant performance improvements. Comp Turbo takes it even further! Its innovative design and technology have set a new standard for quality, performance, and value. High-performance applications need a turbocharger that accelerates quickly to build boost pressure rapidly. This allows the engine to generate high torque at low speeds and high power at maximum speed. Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are the answer. These ball bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. They offer a faster transient response than the industry - standard dual ball bearing system due to reduced friction losses, dramatically improving response times and maximizing 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 the latest R - Line technology. It includes the CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and 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 7 - 14 vaned compressor wheel with the latest compressor design. It has a small - diameter hub to maximize intake airflow and an extended tip for better 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, enabling faster rotor acceleration. The slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. With minimal leaving velocity, these wheels reduce losses, leading to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range. They are ideal for high - exhaust - flow requirements. 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 installed correctly by a professional or someone with experience in turbocharger installation. Once installed, start your engine as you normally would. The turbocharger will automatically start working as the engine revs up. When driving, you'll notice improved performance and power, especially at higher speeds. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Don't rev the engine too high right after starting it cold. Let the engine warm up for a few minutes to allow the oil to circulate properly. Also, when you're about to turn off the engine after a long or hard drive, let it idle for a couple of minutes. This gives the turbocharger time to cool down and prevents damage. For maintenance, regularly check the oil level. The turbocharger is oil - lubricated, so the oil is crucial for its smooth operation. Replace the oil at the recommended intervals. Also, inspect the turbocharger for any signs of damage, like leaks or loose parts. If you notice anything unusual, have it checked by a professional right away. With proper use and maintenance, your Comp Turbo turbocharger will serve you well for a long time.
