Vortech Supercharging System w/ V-3 Si-Trim - Polished - No Charge Cooler (2000-2004 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V) 4FL218-138L
Polished V-3 Si-Trim Complete Supercharger System for 2000-2004 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers Complete Supercharging System with V-3 Si-Trim (PN 4FL218-138L) is a CARB-approved centrifugal supercharger package designed for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. This version features a show-quality polished finish and is configured without a charge cooler, making it an excellent option for street-driven Mustangs seeking strong, reliable power gains with simplified packaging.
With Vortech's proven centrifugal design and supplied calibration for stock engines, this system is rated to safely increase output from 260 horsepower to 402 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 400 lb-ft. Power delivery is smooth and linear, building with RPM for strong top-end performance while maintaining factory-like drivability.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The system is centered around the V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger, which features Vortech's high-efficiency impeller and housing design developed in their supercharger test cell. Unlike engine oil-fed units, 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 ensures nearly silent operation while delivering 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. Vortech supplies tuning support for stock configurations only.
Important: Vehicles equipped with additional modifications such as aftermarket throttle bodies, cold air intakes, headers, or off-road mid-pipes may require custom tuning. Not all ECU box codes are supported, so Vortech recommends verifying ECU compatibility prior to purchase.
