1986-1993 Ford 5.0 Mustang High Output Supercharger Systems

Description

Vortech’s Fox Body Mustang Systems are available as either a complete, fully calibrated bolt on, or as tuner kits for custom installations for 2,500+HP. We offer several Superchargers to choose from for your Tuner or Super High Output system. See the supercharger page or call the Vortech tech line for assistance. The engine oil lubricated V-2 supercharger is the preferred unit for sustained boost such as circuit road racing; also, a dedicated oil cooler and/or filter can be fitted.

Vortech’s Fox Body Mustang system features our ultra-efficient V-3 compressor. Continual development in our test lab resulted in the Si model, which achieves a peak adiabatic efficiency of 78% [SAE J1723 standard]. The “i” stands for improved and with its new, patented oil control system and state of the art centrifugal compressor stage this V-3 Si literally blows away the competition. High efficiency means less heat is being generated, drive power is reduced and more net power is produced. Less heat also means better durability. All V-3 series superchargers have a self-contained lubrication system that makes installation fast and easy. The entry-level system uses the lower boost V-3 SCi.

For the Fox body Mustangs, Vortech uses an air/water charge cooler system to minimize pressure loss. Unlike the air/air systems for this application, that send charge air on a long trip through several bends plus a long cooler core, the charge air does not travel any further than the non-cooled version, so there is virtually no boost loss. Charge cooling means cooler, denser air that yields more power and reduces the detonation threshold while allowing higher boost options.

V-3 Systems: No Oil Lines Necessary

• Systems that include the V-3 internally lubricated supercharger do not require a connection between the oil pan and gearcase (V-1 and V-2 systems are engine oil fed and require oil lines).

Superior Technology

• Centrifugal superchargers easily make more pressure and flow than a roots type blower and are much more efficient. Read our Roots vs Centrifugal comparison to see the numbers.
• Vortech supercharger systems are a great value. Dollar for dollar, Vortech systems deliver more horsepower than virtually any other method of upgrade. Also, driven normally, gas mileage often increases rather than decrease.

7-9 PSI Systems

• These systems include the choice of the V-2 or V-3 Si with nearly silent helical cut gear set, or the Heavy Duty V-1 Ti compressor capable of up to 950 HP (depending on your modifications and custom tuning).

7-9 PSI High-Output (H.O.) Charge Cooled Systems

• The V-3 Si and V-1 Ti systems are also available in high-output charge cooled models (with air/water charge cooler).
