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 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 contamination from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo addressed these issues with an innovative design, introducing the world's first production oil-less turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system lubricated by a high-quality, non-channeling grease. The Air-Cooled model has an internal air passage behind the compressor wheel for cooling, eliminating the need for a water jacket. Without 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 feature 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 due to reduced friction losses. It significantly improves response times and maximizes 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! It includes the CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and CTR slim hub lightweight turbine wheel, 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, representing the latest in 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, with its large inducer diameters, produces higher boost pressures at high engine speeds and can increase engine HP output by up to 15%. The R-line compressor wheels are available across our CT turbocharger line. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, leading to faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design are unique and maximize flow capacity, 30% more than the previous GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity because of their long blade surface, reducing losses. This leads to higher turbine efficiency and a wider flow range than other turbine wheels in the industry. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow and low leaving gas velocity to boost turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your CTR Air - Cooled 1.0 Turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure it's mounted properly in your desired orientation - it can be installed in any position. Since it doesn't need oil or water lines, installation is a bit easier compared to traditional turbochargers. When it comes to operation, expect a significant boost in power and faster response times. Your engine will perform better, especially at high speeds. For maintenance, the Zerk fitting makes it easy to service. You can check it regularly to ensure everything is in good working condition. If you need to rebuild or upgrade the turbocharger, it's fully rebuildable and upgradeable. Just keep in mind that turbochargers are built to order, so it will take 3 to 5 weeks to get your new one. Also, make sure to follow all safety procedures when working on your engine and the turbocharger.
