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, susceptibility to contaminants, leaks, and smoking. Comp Turbo addressed these issues with an amazing innovation - the world's first production oil - less water - cooled turbocharger! Our patented CTR Oil - Less Turbochargers use a Triplex Ceramic triple ball bearing system lubricated by high - quality non - channeling grease. The bearing housing has a water jacket for cooling and a Zerk fitting for easy servicing. These turbochargers feature a patented triple ball bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. This design reduces friction losses, giving a faster transient response compared to the industry - standard dual ball bearing system. It significantly improves response times and boosts 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. All our turbochargers are proudly made in the USA and come with the latest R - Line technology. The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high - efficiency CTR slim hub high - flow turbine wheel are part of our most advanced rotor technology. 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 with the latest design technology. 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, leading to quicker rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity, 30% more than the previous GT style Turbine wheel. With minimal leaving velocity, they have higher efficiency and a greater flow range. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure it's installed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions. It can be mounted in any orientation, which gives you flexibility. When your engine is running, the turbocharger will work to boost its performance. For maintenance, check the Zerk fitting regularly. This makes it easy to service the turbocharger. You don't have to worry about oil lines since it's an oil - less system, but still, keep an eye on the water - cooling system to ensure it's functioning properly. If you notice any issues like a decrease in performance or strange noises, it's time to have it inspected. The turbocharger is fully rebuildable and upgradeable, so if it gets worn out over time, you can get it fixed or make it even better. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order, so be patient as they take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
