Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit - V-2 SCi-Trim w/ Charge Cooler - Polished (2001 Mustang Cobra 4V 4.6) 4FR218-138SQ
Polished V-2 SCi-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 2001 Mustang Cobra 4V
The Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit with V-2 SCi-Trim and Charge Cooler (PN 4FR218-138SQ) is engineered for the 2001 Ford Mustang Cobra equipped with the 4V 4.6L DOHC engine. Featuring a high-visibility polished finish, this tuner kit delivers Vortech's proven centrifugal supercharger performance for custom-tuned, high-horsepower builds where airflow capability, durability, and thermal control are critical.
This system is offered exclusively as a tuner kit, meaning it includes the complete supercharger and charge cooling hardware but does not include fuel management upgrades or ECU programming. With complete systems for this platform discontinued, this kit provides maximum flexibility for professional tuners and race-focused Cobra builds.
V-2 SCi-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-2 SCi-Trim is a gear-driven centrifugal supercharger that utilizes Vortech's SQ (Super Quiet) gear technology for smooth, quiet operation and excellent long-term reliability. Its advanced impeller and housing design - developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell - deliver efficient airflow and stable boost across the RPM range.
With proper engine modifications and custom tuning, the SCi-Trim is capable of supporting up to 725 horsepower. The V-2 series shares the engine's oiling system, making it well-suited for applications that experience sustained boost, such as road racing or extended high-load operation. This design also allows for the optional addition of external oil cooling or filtration.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Vortech tuner kits are mechanically complete supercharger systems supplied without fuel system components or ECM reprogramming. This allows experienced tuners to select injectors, fuel delivery solutions, and calibration strategies tailored to their specific engine combination and performance goals.
This flexibility makes tuner kits ideal for modified engines and competition-oriented builds where off-the-shelf calibrations are not desired.
