Vortech Supercharger System - V-3 SCi-Trim - GM LS-Swap - EFI Fuel - Black (LS Truck FEAD) 4GX218-154L
Black V-3 SCi-Trim LS-Swap Supercharger System with Truck FEAD
The Vortech Supercharger System (PN 4GX218-154L) is a universal, budget-minded supercharging solution engineered for GM LS swap applications running EFI with LS1/LS2-style intake manifolds and the LS Truck Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD). Finished in black, this single-belt system delivers clean packaging and Vortech's proven centrifugal performance for street/strip, pro-touring, drift, and custom builds.
Centered around the V-3 SCi-Trim centrifugal supercharger, the system uses rigid billet and steel mounting hardware and mandrel-bent aluminum discharge tubing. On an otherwise stock engine, the supplied pulley combination is capable of producing approximately 6-8 psi at redline, depending on engine displacement and exhaust configuration.
V-3 SCi-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 SCi-Trim features Vortech's self-contained oiling system, eliminating external oil lines while maintaining durability and efficiency. Developed through extensive testing in Vortech's supercharger lab, the SCi platform delivers smooth power, strong mid-range response, and reliable performance for LS-based swap applications.
