Vortech Superchargers Entry Level Complete System V-3 SCi Satin (19861993 Mustang 5.0)
Vortech V-3 SCi Entry Level Supercharger System for Fox Body Mustang
The Vortech Entry Level Supercharger System for the 19861993 Ford Mustang 5.0 is a complete, bolt-on centrifugal supercharger solution designed for reliable street performance with room to grow. This system delivers 56 PSI of boost using Vortechs modern V-3 SCi internally lubricated supercharger, making it an ideal starting point for Fox Body owners looking to add power without sacrificing drivability or emissions compliance.
Unlike older engine-oil-fed superchargers, the V-3 SCi features a self-contained lubrication system, eliminating the need to tap the oil pan or run external oil lines. This simplifies installation while maintaining excellent durability for street-driven cars. The SCi designation stands for Supercharger, Centrifugal, improved, reflecting Vortechs patented oil control system and advanced compressor stage developed through extensive SAE J1723 testing.
With industry-leading adiabatic efficiency, the V-3 SCi produces cooler charge air, reduces parasitic loss, and delivers more usable power per pound of boost. The result is a smooth, linear power increase that transforms the character of the Fox Body Mustang while preserving everyday drivability.
