Vortech Engineering, LLC has introduced a new supercharging system for the 2005 V6 Mustang.

The addition of the V-2 SQ S-Trim supercharger will increase horsepower from 210 to 319 and torque from 254 lb./ft. to 330 lb./ft. at 9-10 psig at the flywheel.

The system includes an integrated dual-pass air/water charge cooling configuration, which features a closed loop water cooling system with a stand-alone pump, tank and front mounted heat exchanger. All components needed to bolt the system to a stock vehicle, such as aluminum mounting brackets, fuel system upgrade including high-capacity replacement injectors; DiabloSport hand-held programmer, supercharger oil feed and drain, compressor bypass valve and all required fasteners are included. The installation allows retention of all factory accessories including A/C and power steering. A satin or polished finish is available and there is a three-year limited warranty on the supercharger. Suggested retail price is $4,295.95.

The V6 Mustang H.O. supercharging system is available wherever Vortech products are sold. For more information contact Vortech Engineering at 805.247.0226 or VortechSuperchargers.com.

They had another one before right? This is an HO version of that?

Wow! I wish I could afford this. I'll have to keep dreaming for now though, I'm still a lowly college student. This is what I may go with though when I get some real cash! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eclipsee_steering.gif[/img]

 

This the same system MSP has?? The numbers fall in line with his numbers.

 

Thanks for the info Brad.........Wish mine could be a test mule for this awesome set-up!!

yeah...being a college student sucks.... i wish i had a real good-paying job....

 

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is MSP's system. His #'s were a little higher, though....

Not to slam Vortech, because I know some people are big fans... but their lack of an air-to-air intercooler kept them out of my choice for superchargers.

I ended up going with the ProCharger Stage II with tuner, 42lb injectors and plugs. It's a complete kit with a 3-core intercooler. I won't have to worry (as much) about extra heat causing detonation and wearing down the engine prematurely.

Now, if you're doing simply drag racing, being able to ice up a water-to-air intercooler sounds fun!

Does Vortech plan to offer and air-to-air intercooler with this kit anytime soon?

No on the air/air. You can see in the post that it comes with an air/water cooler. There is also a system available without a cooler.

 

Speaking from experience granted to me by Forced! In which I thank him immensly for! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

The performance of my car over stock is truley mind boggeling.. No matter what I say on a forum, or how many videos I post, no one will ever understand the impact of the system Vortech has created for the 2005 V6 Mustangs..

In time, more will come on board with this product, and will substantiate my claims.. Until then, I am left alone to my own devices for trying to do my best to describe it..

 

Well, MSP, you now know what us v8 guys have been "dealing" with the whole time. Its hardly mind boggling... its common place for many of us. Its just nothing new.

Now I am suspicious. are you being paid, compensated or caressed in any way for this stuff?? doesn't matter; a blind man can see your crap coming through.

Yes!! Thats completely understandable! Well Atleast I have a few good buddies on the V8 side like you and 169Stang!

I can only speak to a world of 2005+ Mustang V6 owners! These guys are the only ones really who can appreciate the impact of the system on our cars..

Its good to know that I do have a few V8 people who do appreciate my efforts along with Forced, to bring the 2005 + V6's another facet of the new Mustangs..

I know after this coming summer, V6's will be alittle more respected for their HP per liter.. Like on my car, it is now 88 HP per liter as opposed to 65 HP per liter of the GT.. This things are often overlooked by some.. However thanks for the encouragement Cleveland! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

 

I am grateful that you read what I post for really what its worth instead of being just donkey doughnut comments.

I have been doing a little research, forgive me if you men have seen some of this stuff already, but:

According to the HP calculator at Super Six Motorsport's web-site, 319 HP measured at the flywheel will get you through the 1/4 mile in about 14.1s at stock curb weight plus the weight of the driver (assuming the driver weighs about 150 lbs. as I do). [The HP comparison in the OP uses the stock HP number when measured at the flywheel.]

14.1s is great, but for more than 4Gs, plus the cost of the install, you could re-work the heads and the lower engine, and add nitrous (as well as exhaust, gearing, and a few other things), and break into the 12's or 13's! Super Six also mentions problems with supercharging the V-6 that include cracked pistons and blown head gaskets. They recommend reducing the motor's compression to 9:1 (by changing the pistons), in order to avoid these problems. This would lower some of your HP gains from the supercharger, and cost you even more dough!

Partly true, but i dont think to the extreme that they try to depict it. They are partly trying to get you to buy their products me thinks.

 

I have to agree. It's pretty obvious they know what they're talking about, but it still seems like they're predicting doomday for anyone adding any kind of power to this engine.

heck, their writeup is enough to make someone worry, even if they're planning on keeping their engine stock!

It's just like buying insurance. Who'd buy it if they thought nothing could go wrong??

The GT has 300FWHP and runs 13.8 stock. So 20 more FWHP in a lighter car should put you in the mid to low 13s.

Use the calculator and enter the GT spec's - 3575 weight + 13.5 quarter and that thing says -


"Your Mustang GT weighs about 3575 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 13.5 seconds. That means that you've got about 287.19 HP at the wheels, and about 373.34 HP at the flywheel."


This calculator is Way off. Obviously a sales pitch .... could be a fun tool if it was accurate though.

 

Cleveland, while I understand your point, it sort of goes against the spirit of this board. We know they're not v8s, and you know it too. Last I checked there wasn't a rule that you cannot modify your v6 to make it move better. That post is on the fringe of being off topic ,and as for "assholish" comments, I'd say that falls pretty close in line. I'm not being defensive about my v6 or the v6 in general, I'm just completely over the v6 vs. v8 debate, nothing is ever accomplished by it.

the HP per liter argument smacks of ricer talk, so I would stay away from that.
