Vortech Tuner Kit - V-7 JT-Trim - 8-Rib Comp Inlet - Satin (2011-2014 Mustang 5.0L) 4FQ218-120JT
Competition-Level JT-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for Coyote Mustang
The Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit with V-7 JT-Trim (PN 4FQ218-120JT) is a race-oriented centrifugal supercharger system engineered for 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L applications. Featuring Vortech's V-7 JT-Trim supercharger, an 8-rib drive system, and a competition air inlet, this tuner kit is designed for high-horsepower Coyote builds requiring maximum airflow and custom calibration.
This configuration is intended for experienced builders and professional tuners who require flexibility beyond off-the-shelf fuel and calibration solutions.
V-7 JT-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-7 JT-Trim is Vortech's largest and highest-flow centrifugal compressor option, capable of supporting up to 1,000 horsepower on modified engines. This compressor is designed for high-RPM, high-boost competition use and is commonly found in drag racing and extreme street/strip applications.
Unlike self-contained units, the V-7 JT-Trim utilizes an engine oil-fed lubrication system, providing enhanced cooling and durability under sustained high-load operation.
8-Rib Drive & Competition Inlet Configuration
This tuner kit is equipped with an 8-rib supercharger drive, allowing approximately 33% more drive capacity compared to a 6-rib system. The increased belt contact area significantly reduces slip and improves belt life in high-boost environments.
The competition air inlet assembly is designed to minimize inlet restriction, supporting the airflow demands of the V-7 JT-Trim compressor.
