Vortech Supercharging System w/ V-2 Si-Trim & Charge Cooler - Satin (2000-2004 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V) 4FL218-140SQ
Satin V-2 Si-Trim Complete Supercharger System with Charge Cooler
The Vortech Superchargers Complete Supercharging System with V-2 Si-Trim and Charge Cooler (PN 4FL218-140SQ) is a CARB-approved, high-output centrifugal supercharger package designed specifically for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. This configuration pairs Vortech's proven engine oil-fed V-2 Si-Trim supercharger with a fully integrated air-to-water, dual-pass charge cooling system to deliver strong, repeatable power while maintaining excellent street manners.
With the increased boost level and charge cooling in place, Vortech rates this system to safely increase output from 260 horsepower to 402 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 400 lb-ft when installed on a stock engine with supported calibration. Power delivery is smooth and linear, building progressively through the RPM range without compromising drivability.
V-2 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
At the core of this system is the V-2 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger, featuring Vortech's high-efficiency impeller and housing design developed in their supercharger test cell. The V-2 utilizes an engine oil-fed lubrication system, which allows for additional cooling and filtration - an advantage for sustained boost and extended street use.
Vortech's SQ (Super Quiet) gear-driven technology ensures near-silent operation while maintaining the durability and reliability Vortech systems are known for.
Integrated Air-to-Water Charge Cooling
This system includes a fully integrated air-to-water aftercooler with a dual-pass charge cooler configuration. By significantly reducing inlet air temperatures and increasing air density, the charge cooling system supports higher boost levels and consistent horsepower gains across a wide range of operating conditions.
Note: Vortech specifies a battery relocation kit (PN 8N150-010, sold separately) for all charge-cooled Mustang GT systems.
Complete System Configuration
This is a complete supercharger system, meaning it includes the required fuel system upgrades and ECM calibration needed for operation on a stock engine. Vortech provides tuning support for vehicles retaining a stock engine with stock exhaust or most aftermarket cat-back exhaust systems.
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 verifying ECU compatibility prior to purchase is strongly recommended.
