Vortech Supercharging System w/ V-3 Si-Trim - Satin - No Charge Cooler (2000-2004 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V) 4FL218-130L
Satin V-3 Si-Trim Complete Supercharger System for 2000-2004 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers Complete Supercharging System with V-3 Si-Trim (PN 4FL218-130L) is a CARB-compliant centrifugal supercharger package engineered specifically for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. Finished in a durable satin housing, this system delivers reliable, repeatable power gains while retaining excellent street manners and emissions compliance.
On a stock engine combination with supported ECU calibration, Vortech lists safe gains increasing output from 260 horsepower to 402 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 400 lb-ft. Power delivery is smooth and linear, making this system well-suited for daily-driven Mustangs that demand strong top-end performance without sacrificing drivability.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The system is built around the V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger, featuring Vortech's advanced high-efficiency impeller and housing design developed in their supercharger test cell. The V-3 utilizes self-contained internal lubrication, eliminating the need for engine oil feed and drain lines and simplifying both installation and long-term maintenance.
Vortech's SQ (Super Quiet) gear-driven technology provides nearly silent operation while maintaining the durability and reliability expected from a Vortech supercharger.
Complete System Configuration
This is a complete supercharger system, meaning it includes the required fuel system upgrades and ECM calibration necessary for operation on a stock engine with stock exhaust or most aftermarket cat-back exhaust systems. Vehicles equipped with additional modifications such as aftermarket throttle bodies, cold air intakes, headers, or off-road mid-pipes may require custom tuning.
Note: Not all ECU box codes are supported by existing Vortech calibrations. Vortech recommends verifying ECU box code compatibility prior to purchase.
