Vortech Supercharging System w/ V-2 Si-Trim & Charge Cooler - Polished (2001 Mustang Bullitt 4.6L 2V) 4FL218-088SQ
Polished V-2 Si-Trim High-Output Supercharger System for 2001 Mustang Bullitt
The Vortech Supercharging System with V-2 Si-Trim and integrated charge cooler (PN 4FL218-088SQ) is a complete, CARB-approved high-output centrifugal supercharger system engineered specifically for the 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. Featuring a show-quality polished finish, this system delivers substantial power gains while maintaining factory-level drivability and long-term reliability.
In standard form, this system safely increases output from 265 horsepower to 390 horsepower and torque from 305 lb-ft to 396 lb-ft. When configured as the charge-cooled high-output system, increased boost and improved inlet air density allow performance to climb to 415 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque on a stock engine.
V-2 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-2 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger is an engine oil-fed unit utilizing Vortech's proven SQ (Super Quiet) gear-driven technology for quiet operation and exceptional durability. The high-efficiency impeller and housing design, developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell, delivers strong airflow with controlled heat generation.
Dedicated oil feed and oil drain assemblies ensure consistent lubrication and cooling under sustained boost, making the V-2 Si-Trim a trusted solution for high-performance street applications.
Integrated Air-to-Water Charge Cooling
This system incorporates a fully integrated air-to-water, dual-pass charge cooler designed to significantly reduce intake air temperatures under boost. The closed-loop, maintenance-free configuration improves air density, supporting higher boost levels and additional horsepower with repeatable performance.
Note: Charge-cooled systems require a battery relocation kit (PN 8N150-010, sold separately).
Fuel Management & System Integration
This complete supercharger system includes a fuel management upgrade designed specifically for stock engine configurations. Vortech supplies calibration and components intended for factory engines running stock exhaust systems or most aftermarket cat-back exhausts.
Important: Vortech does not provide tuning for vehicles equipped with aftermarket throttle bodies, cold air intakes, headers, off-road mid-pipes, or other engine modifications. Modified vehicles will require custom tuning, and not all ECU box codes are supported.
