Vortech Tuner Kit w/ V-2 Si-Trim & Charge Cooler - Polished (2000-2004 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V) 4FL218-128SQ
Polished V-2 Si-Trim High-Output Tuner Supercharger Kit for 2000-2004 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit with V-2 Si-Trim and Charge Cooler (PN 4FL218-128SQ) is a high-output, race-intended centrifugal supercharger package engineered specifically for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. Featuring a show-quality polished finish, this tuner kit is designed for experienced builders who require full control over fueling, calibration, and boost strategy.
With increased boost capability and an integrated air-to-water charge cooling system, this configuration is capable of safely increasing output from 260 horsepower to 402 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 400 lb-ft when paired with proper supporting modifications and professional tuning. Vortech's centrifugal design delivers smooth, linear power that continues to pull hard through the upper RPM range.
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 nearly silent operation and exceptional durability. The high-efficiency impeller and housing design - developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell - provides strong airflow with excellent thermal efficiency under sustained boost.
Dedicated oil feed and oil drain assemblies ensure consistent lubrication and cooling, making the V-2 Si-Trim a trusted choice for high-output street/strip and competition Mustang builds.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Tuner kits are the same as complete systems except they do not include fuel system upgrades or ECM reprogramming. This allows professional tuners and racers to select custom injectors, fuel pumps, engine management systems, and ignition strategies tailored to specific power goals.
This configuration is intended for advanced users and vehicles requiring custom tuning.
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 and increase air density under boost. The closed-loop, maintenance-free configuration supports higher boost levels and additional horsepower gains with consistent, repeatable performance.
Note: Charge-cooled systems require a battery relocation kit (PN 8N150-010, sold separately).
