Vortech V-3 JT Supercharger Tuner Kit Black 6-Rib Serpentine Drive (20182020 Mustang GT 5.0L) | 4FQ218-334JT
Vortech V-3 JT-Trim Intercooled Tuner Supercharger Kit for 20182020 Mustang GT
The 2018+ 5.0L Mustang GT platform utilizes Vortechs V-3 JT-Trim centrifugal supercharger. Continued development in Vortechs lab resulted in the V-3 JT-Trim, incorporating a patented oil control system and a state-of-the-art centrifugal compressor stage engineered to deliver outstanding airflow, efficiency, and durability.
With an industry-leading 76% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723), the V-3 JT-Trim generates less heat, reduces drive power requirements, and produces more usable horsepower. Lower operating temperatures also contribute to improved long-term reliability under demanding performance conditions.
Tuner Kit Configuration
This system is supplied as a tuner kit intended for higher-horsepower, custom-tuned installations. Tuner kits do not include a fuel pump, fuel injectors, or ECU programmer. Custom calibration and required fuel system components must be supplied by the installer.
The V-3 JT-Trim supercharger included with this kit is capable of supporting up to 1,000 horsepower on modified vehicles. Additional tuner kit configurations are available with larger superchargers for extreme high-horsepower racing applications.
Superior Vortech Technology
Centrifugal superchargers generate more pressure and airflow than roots-type blowers while operating more efficiently. Vortech supercharger systems deliver exceptional value, offering more horsepower per dollar than virtually any other upgrade method. Under normal driving conditions, fuel economy may even improve.
