Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit - V-3 Si-Trim - Polished - Water-to-Air Charge Cooler (2005-2006 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L 3V)
Polished V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit with Charge Cooler for 2005-2006 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit with Water-to-Air Charge Cooler (PN 4FU218-128L) is engineered for 2005-2006 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 3-Valve V8. Featuring a standout polished finish, this tuner kit pairs Vortech's high-efficiency centrifugal supercharger technology with an integrated water-to-air, dual-pass Charge Cooler to help control inlet air temps for more consistent performance under boost.
This is a true tuner kit, supplied without fuel system upgrades or ECM calibration. That's exactly what serious builders want - freedom to choose injectors, pumps, and tuning strategies that match your specific combo, fuel, and boost goals. This configuration is intended strictly for off-road and competition use.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim is the result of continued development in Vortech's engineering lab. The "Si" designation stands for improved, incorporating a state-of-the-art centrifugal compressor stage designed and validated in Vortech's supercharger test cell for optimized airflow and efficiency.
With an industry-leading 78% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723), the V-3 Si-Trim generates less heat, reduces parasitic drive loss, and produces more net power compared to lower-efficiency designs. The V-3 platform also features a self-contained lubrication system, eliminating the need for external oil feed and drain lines and simplifying installation.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Vortech tuner kits include the core supercharger system hardware - plus the Charge Cooler components in this configuration - but exclude fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and ECU reprogramming. This is ideal for custom tuners and racers who want full control over fueling and calibration.
For reference, High Output complete systems for 2005-2008 Mustang GT applications are capable of boosting stock engines to approximately 462 horsepower when fully equipped and calibrated.
