Product Description
Lubrication is crucial for turbochargers spinning at super high speeds. Traditionally, engine oil has been used to lubricate turbocharger bearing systems. But it comes with limitations like restricted mounting options, unless you use costly and complex scavenging systems. Also, oil-lubricated systems are prone to contaminants from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo revolutionized the game with the world's first production oil-less turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil-Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated by a top - quality non - channeling grease. In the Air - Cooled model, there's 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, these 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. They offer a faster transient response than the industry - standard dual ball bearing system due to less friction. This significantly improves response times and boosts power output. The 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 the 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 tech 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. The CTR - line turbochargers have a 7 - 14 vaned compressor wheel with the latest compressor design tech. It has a small - diameter hub for more 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%. The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia for faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design increase flow capacity by 30% compared to the prior GT style Turbine wheel. They have minimal leaving velocity, leading to higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Install the turbocharger according to the mounting orientation that suits your setup as it can be mounted in any orientation. The turbocharger doesn't need oil or water lines, which simplifies the installation process. Once installed, it will start working with your engine, providing that extra boost of power. Notice that it is built to order and takes 3 to 5 weeks to deliver, so plan accordingly. Maintenance Tips: The turbocharger has a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Regularly check this fitting and follow the recommended servicing schedule. Since the bearings are lubricated with a special non - channeling grease, there's no need to worry about oil - related contaminants. However, keep an eye on the overall performance of the turbocharger. If you notice any decrease in power or strange noises, it might be time for a check - up. Upgrading and Rebuilding: The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable. If you want to improve its performance in the future, you can easily do so. You can also take advantage of the latest R - Line technology features like the advanced compressor and turbine wheels. Safety Precautions: As with any high - performance engine component, always follow safety procedures when installing, servicing, or upgrading the turbocharger. Make sure your engine is turned off and cooled down before any work is done.
