V-2 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-2 Si-Trim is an oil-fed centrifugal supercharger that shares the engine's lubrication system, making it well suited for extended high-load operation such as road racing or sustained boost applications. Its high-contact-ratio, precision helical gear drive delivers near-silent operation, exceptional durability, and reliable airflow at elevated RPM.
Advanced impeller and compressor housing geometry - developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell - optimize efficiency while minimizing heat generation and parasitic loss.
