Vortech High Output Complete Supercharger System - V-1 H/D Ti, Polished (1986-1993 Mustang 5.0) 4FA218-048T
High Output Polished V-1 H/D Ti Supercharger System for Fox Body Mustang 5.0
The Vortech Superchargers High Output Complete System (PN 4FA218-048T) is a fully calibrated, bolt-on centrifugal supercharger package engineered specifically for 1986-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0L applications. Featuring a show-quality polished finish, this system utilizes Vortech's Heavy Duty V-1 Ti compressor paired with an air-to-water charge cooling system to deliver consistent high-output performance with exceptional durability for aggressive street and track use.
This is a complete, street-legal system - not a tuner kit - designed to integrate cleanly with the Fox Body platform while providing reliable power delivery when installed as intended.
V-1 H/D Ti Supercharger Technology
The V-1 Heavy Duty Ti centrifugal supercharger is designed for demanding performance applications and is capable of supporting up to 950 horsepower depending on engine configuration and custom tuning. This robust unit features a gear-driven design and is engine-oil-lubricated, making it well suited for sustained high-load and high-RPM operation.
Because the V-1 H/D Ti is engine-oil-fed, it requires oil feed and drain connections. For extreme-duty applications, a dedicated oil cooler and/or filter can be added to further enhance thermal control and long-term reliability.
Air-to-Water Charge Cooling Advantage
For Fox Body Mustangs, Vortech employs an air-to-water charge cooler system to minimize pressure loss. Unlike air-to-air systems that route charge air through long tubing paths and large cooler cores, this design keeps the airflow path short - resulting in virtually no boost loss compared to non-cooled configurations.
Charge cooling produces cooler, denser air, increasing power output, reducing detonation risk, and allowing greater tuning flexibility at higher boost levels.
System Output & Configuration
This High Output system operates in the 7-9 PSI range and is engineered as a complete, fully calibrated package. While Vortech also offers Fox Body Mustang systems as tuner kits for extreme custom applications exceeding 2,500-3,000+ horsepower, this specific part number represents a turnkey street system built around the Heavy Duty V-1 Ti supercharger.
