Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit w/ V-3 Si-Trim - Satin - NO Charge Cooler (2007-2009 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L 3V)
Satin V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 2007-2009 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit (PN 4FU218-130L) is designed for 2007-2009 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 3-Valve V8. Finished in a durable satin coating, this tuner kit delivers Vortech's proven centrifugal supercharger performance while giving professional tuners full control over fueling, calibration, and boost strategy.
This configuration is supplied without a Charge Cooler and without fuel system upgrades or ECM programming, making it ideal for custom builds where component selection and calibration are handled in-house. Intended strictly for off-road and competition use.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim represents Vortech's latest evolution in centrifugal supercharger design. The "Si" (improved) designation reflects Vortech's patented oil control system and advanced compressor stage, delivering industry-leading 78% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723). Higher efficiency means less heat generation, reduced parasitic drive loss, and greater net power potential.
All V-3 series superchargers feature self-contained lubrication, eliminating the need for engine oil feed or drain lines and simplifying installation.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Vortech tuner kits include the complete supercharger and mounting hardware found in complete systems, but intentionally exclude fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and ECU calibration. This allows experienced tuners and racers to tailor fuel delivery and tuning to match specific engine combinations and performance goals.
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.
