Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit - V-3 Si-Trim - Water-to-Air Charge Cooler - Satin (2007-2009 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L 3V)
Satin V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit with Water-to-Air Charge Cooler for 2007-2009 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit with Water-to-Air Charge Cooler (PN 4FU218-140L) is engineered for 2007-2009 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 3-Valve V8. Finished in a durable satin coating, this tuner kit pairs Vortech's highly efficient V-3 Si-Trim centrifugal supercharger with an integrated water-to-air, dual-pass Charge Cooler to improve inlet air temperature control under higher boost conditions.
This is a true tuner kit, supplied without fuel system upgrades or ECM calibration. It is intended for experienced tuners and racers who want full control over fueling, timing, and boost strategy. This configuration is designed strictly for off-road and competition use.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim represents Vortech's most advanced self-contained centrifugal supercharger design. The "Si" (improved) designation reflects Vortech's patented oil control system combined with a state-of-the-art compressor stage engineered for maximum efficiency and durability.
With industry-leading 78% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723), the V-3 Si-Trim produces less heat, reduces parasitic drive loss, and delivers more usable power. The self-contained lubrication system eliminates the need for engine oil feed and drain lines, simplifying installation and long-term maintenance.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Vortech tuner kits include the complete supercharger, Charge Cooler system, and mounting hardware found in complete systems, but intentionally omit fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and ECU calibration. This allows professional tuners to select their preferred fuel system components and create custom calibrations tailored to specific engine combinations.
For reference, High Output complete systems for earlier 4.6L 3V Mustang GT applications are capable of boosting stock engines to approximately 462 horsepower when fully equipped and properly calibrated.
