Vortech Tuner Kit w/ V-3 Si-Trim - Polished - NO Charge Cooler (2000-2004 4.6L 2V Mustang GT) 4FL218-158L
Polished V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 4.6L 2V Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit (PN 4FL218-158L) is designed specifically for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. Finished in a high-visibility polished configuration, this tuner kit delivers Vortech's proven centrifugal supercharger technology while allowing full flexibility for custom fuel systems, aftermarket engine management, and race-oriented tuning strategies.
This non-charge-cooled tuner kit configuration is intended for experienced builders and professional tuners who prefer to select their own fuel upgrades and calibration strategy. When properly configured, this system is capable of safely increasing output from the factory 260 horsepower to approximately 402 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 400 lb-ft.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The included V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger represents Vortech's latest evolution in high-efficiency forced induction. Featuring a self-contained internal lubrication system, the V-3 eliminates the need for engine oil feed and return lines, simplifying installation while improving long-term reliability.
Developed in Vortech's in-house supercharger test cell, the advanced impeller and housing design delivers excellent airflow efficiency, reduced heat generation, and consistent boost delivery across the RPM range.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Vortech Tuner Kits include all primary supercharger mounting and drive components but are supplied without fuel system upgrades or ECM reprogramming. This approach allows tuners and racers to select fuel injectors, pumps, and tuning solutions tailored to their specific power goals and engine combinations.
Unlike Vortech's complete high-output systems, this specific part number does not include a Charge Cooler. Charge-cooled systems are available under separate part numbers for builders seeking additional thermal control and higher sustained boost capability.
