V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim is Vortech's most popular self-contained centrifugal supercharger, featuring an internal lubrication system that eliminates the need for engine oil feed and drain lines. With a peak efficiency of up to 78% (SAE J1723), the Si-Trim delivers strong airflow with reduced heat generation and parasitic loss.
The result is a compact, efficient, and reliable supercharger well suited for high-performance street/strip and competition applications.
