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 offer limited mounting options as oil must flow back into the engine by gravity, unless you use expensive and complex scavenging systems. They're also prone to contamination from engine wear, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo tackled these issues head - on and developed the world's first production oil - less water - cooled turbocharger! The patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system. The bearings are lubricated with a high - quality, proprietary non - channeling grease. The bearing housing has a water jacket for cooling and a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. Comp Turbo ball bearing turbochargers have a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency! They respond faster than the industry - standard dual ball bearing system because of reduced friction losses. This 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, representing the latest compressor design technology. They have 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 available across our CT turbocharger line. CTR High Flow Turbine Technology: The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia, leading to quicker rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design are unique and maximize the flow capacity, 30% more than the prior GT style Turbine wheel. The Comp Turbo CTR high - flow turbine wheels have minimal leaving velocity due to their longer blade length, reducing losses. This results in higher turbine efficiency and a greater flow range than other industry turbine wheels. CTR turbine wheels are designed for high exhaust flow requirements and have low leaving gas velocity to boost turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using Your Turbocharger: Once your turbocharger is installed, start your engine as normal. The turbocharger will automatically kick in as the engine speed increases. Remember, it's built to handle high - performance demands, so feel free to push it when you need extra power. Mounting: You can mount the turbocharger in any orientation you like. This flexibility makes it easier to fit into different engine setups. Maintenance: Check the Zerk fitting regularly and service it as recommended. The water jacket in the bearing housing helps keep things cool, but make sure your engine's cooling system is in good working order. Since it's an oil - less system, you don't have to worry about oil lines or oil - related issues. However, keep an eye on the overall engine performance. Upgrading: The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable. If you want to improve its performance further, you can consult with our experts to see what upgrades are available. Delivery: Please note that these turbochargers are built to order, so it'll take 3 to 5 weeks to get it to you. Be patient, as it's worth the wait for a high - quality product.
