Vortech Supercharging System w/ V-2 Si-Trim & Charge Cooler - Polished (2000-2004 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V) 4FL218-148SQ
Polished 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 4FL218-148SQ) is a CARB-approved centrifugal supercharger package engineered for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT models powered by the 4.6L 2-valve engine. This configuration features a polished, engine oil-fed V-2 Si-Trim supercharger combined with Vortech's air-to-water, dual-pass charge cooling system for consistent power delivery, excellent thermal control, and proven street reliability.
With the increased boost level and integrated charge cooling, Vortech rates this system to safely raise 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 builds smoothly with RPM, maintaining factory-like drivability while delivering a substantial performance gain.
V-2 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-2 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger utilizes Vortech's high-efficiency impeller and housing design developed in their supercharger test cell. Unlike self-contained units, the V-2 employs an engine oil-fed lubrication system, allowing the supercharger oil to be cooled and filtered through the engine - 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 expected from a Vortech system.
Integrated Air-to-Water Charge Cooling
This system incorporates a fully integrated air-to-water aftercooler with a dual-pass charge cooler configuration. By lowering intake air temperatures and increasing air density, the charge cooling system supports higher boost levels and repeatable horsepower gains under a wide range of driving conditions.
Note: Vortech specifies a battery relocation kit (PN 8N150-010, sold separately) for all charge-cooled Mustang GT applications.
Complete System Configuration
This is a complete supercharger system, meaning it includes the necessary fuel system upgrades and ECM calibration 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 ECU compatibility should be verified prior to purchase.
