Vortech Supercharger System - V-1 Ti-Trim - GM LS-Swap - EFI Fuel - Black (1997-2013 C5/C6 Corvette FEAD) 4GX218-134T
Black V-1 Ti-Trim LS-Swap EFI Supercharger System for C5/C6 FEAD
The Vortech Supercharger System with V-1 Ti-Trim (PN 4GX218-134T) is a universal LS-swap EFI supercharging system engineered around the 1997-2013 C5/C6 Corvette front engine accessory drive (FEAD). Finished in black, this package delivers Vortech's proven centrifugal supercharger performance with rigid mounting and dependable belt control for high-output LS swap builds.
Designed for fuel-injected Chevrolet LS engines using LS1/LS2-style intake manifolds, this system employs a 10-rib serpentine drive and includes mandrel-bent discharge ducting with a Vortech Maxflow Race Bypass Valve. Supporting fuel system upgrades and custom calibration are required to match boost and power targets.
V-1 Ti-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-1 Ti-Trim centrifugal supercharger is known for its balance of airflow capability, efficiency, and durability. Built with Vortech's advanced compressor design, the Ti-Trim is a strong choice for street and competition LS builds seeking reliable mid-to-top-end power with manageable heat.
This configuration utilizes clockwise (CW) rotation with a curved discharge and passenger-side mounting, optimized for LS-swap installations based on the Corvette FEAD layout.
LS-Swap / Corvette FEAD Configuration
This system is designed for vehicles using a C5/C6 Corvette accessory drive equivalent to GM 19257325 or GM 19202977. Proper belt alignment requires a compatible water pump and harmonic balancer. The billet aluminum bracket combined with a steel reinforcement plate provides rigid, stable supercharger mounting under boost.
