Polished V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Supercharger Kit for 2005-2006 Mustang GT
The Vortech Superchargers V-3 Si-Trim Tuner Kit (PN 4FU218-118L) is designed for 2005-2006 Ford Mustang GT models equipped with the 4.6L 3-Valve V8. Finished in a high-visibility polished configuration, this tuner kit delivers Vortech's advanced centrifugal supercharger technology in a flexible package intended for custom fuel systems, aftermarket engine management, and race-focused builds.
This is a true tuner kit and is supplied without fuel system upgrades or ECM calibration, allowing experienced builders and professional tuners full control over fueling, ignition timing, and boost strategy. This configuration is intended strictly for off-road and competition use.
V-3 Si-Trim Supercharger Technology
The V-3 Si-Trim represents Vortech's latest generation of centrifugal supercharger design. The "Si" designation stands for improved, featuring a state-of-the-art centrifugal compressor stage developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell for optimal airflow and efficiency.
With an industry-leading 78% adiabatic efficiency (SAE J1723), the V-3 Si-Trim generates less heat, reduces parasitic drive loss, and delivers more net power compared to lower-efficiency designs. The V-3 platform utilizes a self-contained lubrication system, eliminating the need for external oil feed and drain lines and simplifying installation.
Tuner Kit Configuration Explained
Vortech tuner kits include the complete supercharger assembly and mounting hardware found in complete systems, but exclude fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and ECU reprogramming. This allows racers and custom tuners to select their preferred fuel delivery components and tuning solutions.
For reference, High Output complete systems for 2005-2008 Mustang GT applications are capable of boosting stock engines to approximately 462 horsepower when fully equipped and calibrated.
