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. Its high-contact-ratio, precision helical gear drive delivers near-silent operation, excellent durability, and strong efficiency across a wide RPM range.
Advanced impeller and compressor housing geometry - developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell - maximize airflow efficiency while minimizing heat generation and parasitic loss.
