Polished V-2 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 1999 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V
The Vortech Superchargers V-2 Si-Trim Tuner Kit (PN 4FL218-168SQ) is engineered specifically for the 1999 Ford Mustang GT equipped with the 4.6L 2-valve engine. Finished in a high-quality polished finish, this tuner kit delivers Vortech's proven centrifugal supercharger technology while giving builders complete freedom to configure fueling and engine management for custom performance goals.
This non-charge-cooled tuner kit is intended for experienced enthusiasts and racers who prefer to select their own fuel system components and tuning strategy. With proper supporting modifications and professional calibration, this system is capable of safely increasing output from the factory 260 horsepower to approximately 364 horsepower and torque from 302 lb-ft to 371 lb-ft.
V-2 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The included V-2 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger is designed for sustained high-performance operation and utilizes an engine oil-fed lubrication system. This configuration allows oil cooling and filtration options depending on application, making the V-2 series well-suited for continuous-use environments such as road racing or extended high-load operation.
Developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell, the Si-Trim compressor features a high-efficiency impeller and housing design that delivers strong airflow, consistent boost response, and excellent long-term durability.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Vortech Tuner Kits include all primary supercharger mounting and drive hardware but are supplied without fuel system upgrades or ECM reprogramming. This allows professional tuners and racers to select injectors, fuel pumps, and calibration strategies tailored to their specific engine combination and performance goals.
This specific part number does not include a Charge Cooler. Vortech offers charge-cooled systems under separate part numbers for applications requiring additional intake air temperature control.
