I was wonder did any1 test this turbo. Any and all info would be great. Dyno number would be great. Let me know what turbo why And what size Exhaust housing. Thank

 

Bump. Come one people i know they people out there that know about this two turbo.

 

the Comp turbo isnt as common yet so you're not going to get a huge response on it right away.

 

Ok i figure that. Should see some result people say whenever they get testing.

 

Are you talking about the comp oil less turbo's I think they are more popular on DSM's might want to take a look on some of those forums might shed some light for you. I didnt even know what the hell they where till a friend of mine was telling me about them. Pretty interesting if you ask me.

 

yea i know not alot of people using them yet. but i going to do a back to back test and we see how it work

 

I'd stay away from the Comps. I had a pretty bad experience. If you want to know the details you can PM me.

 

IIRC some of the people from ITS turbo are at Comp if that tells you anything...

 

Yep have also had 3 bad experiences with them. STAY AWAY

 

And I've had 2 bad experiences with precision billet turbos... Whats that tell you?

Nothing.

 

No ONe have really do a back to back test and see how it go.

 

it says you're from georgia...is that my old civic in your avatar? lol

 

we dont have any tests back to back versus the same sizes you are looking for but we have tested back to back the new 6765 billet NON ball bearing and swapped to a 76mm Comp DBB turbo.

positive boost pressure to reach 1psi was almost identical between the two, obviously one being BB and one not. the 76mm of course madealot more power up top and was not as "lazy" as I thought it would be for such a large compressor wheel. both had similarly small hot side ARs as well.

people will have bad experiences with every turbo brand out there, if its made by man or machine, is electrical or mechanical then there is a chance for defect or mistakes. also there can be plenty ofmistakes on install or use of turbos for that matter.

Ive used almost every brand out there and have had an issue somehow or another with every one.

 

The Comp turbo Triplex Ceramix is infact an oil-less unit. Here is a video from Comp themselves...

So I'm guessing the oil is self contained like a JRSC.

 

I don't want to give any misinformation but i am pretty sure it uses bearings that get packed with grease and their is no oil at all inside. I think you can take them apart and repack them too so you can extend life of the turbo. I personally would not spend money on this design until is has been proven over and over again on the fastest cars. To much new design to throw away money on, and o yeah why design a turbo and market it as oil less when you still have to run coolant lines? If i have to run 2 lines to the turbo they might as well be oil.

 

I am from ga. but that not ur old car.Wish it was so i could be fast. I like your ek tho. The turbo ir not oil less. just oil less line.

 

Oil less line. but heard it a very nice turbo. is this the true street eg that charm city mike and jeff bout to do a back to back test on between the two company. just the 67mm one?

 

I have no idea who's car that is in the video. However, yes, if that test takes place they will be using my g/f and I's True Street car to do the testing. Right now I am currently running the Billet 6765 with a 1.32 turbine housing. I'm not sure which unit they plan to use just yet in the testing.

 

the comp turbo oil less turbo has had a ton of R&D and mileage put on them so far. the reason it hasnt been heard much on here about it is the units right now are equiped on some 2JZ cars and not hondas.

Comp wouldnt have put it out on the market for sale if it was going to just fall apart, it obviously had to pass all the standard tests in order for them to offer it

while it may not be what we are use to im sure one day that we will shift in that direction, blowers have been using it for years.

 

Yes sure i know mike from tsr . lol but yea i heard they mite try to do a test if they get the comp turbo to test. heard the comp company test the 6262 vs there 6062 . made like almost 100whp over the 6262. should be a good test. But you car look amazing and it should do some work. you got great guy working on your car.

 

this is a great point, just because some people have problems with them doesn't make them bad because i have had good luck wit precision billets, and i have friends as well that love em


Blowers like procharger and vortec have been using them for years but its a special kind of oil and they are not connected to exhaust so the center sections dont see the same amount of heat that turbo's do. That is the only thing i worry about with the design but it might work totally fine. Also Turbo's spin a lot more rpm than blowers do so the oil is going to break down faster as well and you have the heat on top of that. Figure a 98mm turbo spins about 90k rpms and a f2 procharger maxes out at 65k rpms and they both support between 1700-1900hp. I just dont see the point in changing something that has worked for decades. Not worth the extra money and worry, at least not to me but if it works and lasts its a pretty cool break thru in the turbo industry

 

So im guessing the turbo lasts as long as the seals on the bearings do. once those seals go your turbo bearings engage in melt down mode more then likely taking the whole turbo with it. i think i would rather run oil lines and have the turbo start smoking when its on its way out instead. its not a matter of if but a matter when when the seals go.

 

The main advantage I see with this turbo is that it opens up different mounting locations, that were not available before, because the drain needed gravity to return to the oil pan.

 

Agree. That waht they say was the advantage of this turbo. but i want to see if it made good power beening that it has a billets center housing .
