Vortech makes choosing the right supercharger for your application easy. Ask one of our salesman to do a compressor match and answer a few questions and we'll select the appropriate Vortech compressor for your application. Click Here for a complete listing of magazine articles featuring Vortech Superchargers. This standard documents the efficiency and performance of a centrifugal supercharger in accurate and usable compressor maps.
Vortech has the only SAE J compliant supercharger test cell in the aftermarket industry and it allows us to refine our superchargers for maximum performance, durability, and efficiency. An efficient supercharger produces the coolest air, requires minimal horsepower to drive it, produces the most overall power while providing the highest dependability. Turn-key installations are available direct from these tuners and many other authorized Vortech distributors call for your nearest distributor.
Most computer chip manufacturers produce products which richen up or lean out fuel delivery and advance ignition timing. Because a great number of variables and the fact that leaning out fuel delivery or adding ignition timing to an engine under boost can cause damaging detonation, Vortech cannot recommend these products unless specifically programmed on a dyno with your actual vehicle.
A Vortech supercharger system will not affect the engine durability. Supercharged engines, not unlike turbos, operate in vacuum almost all the time. When in boost, at full throttle, the forces on the engine are still lower than the rotational forces. As a general rule, the worst thing you can do to your engine is over rev it exceed the vehicle manufacturer's specified red line , run non-premium fuel, overboost your engine via pulley changes, and modifying your vehicle with aftermarket heads, cams, etc.
Unless otherwise noted, all Vortech supercharger systems are state emission legal. The California Air Resource Exemption Number of each Vortech supercharger is stamped on the serial number identification tag.
When the supercharger system is installed as purchased, mileage often times improves due to the increased engine efficiency. If you tend to drive with a "heavy foot," your mileage may suffer. The installation of Vortech products, except those defined as "for racing use only" do not void the new vehicle warranty nor should they cause the vehicle to fail emissions tests.
Notify the vehicle manufacturer if either of these situations occur. All Vortech supercharger systems are covered by an exclusive 3-year unlimited mileage warranty and exclusive supercharger efficiency guarantee standard. Forcepower Parts carry a day limited warranty. Vortech engineers each supercharger system to produce maximum performance at safe boost levels on stock, unmodified engines.
The engine characteristics of a truck system vary greatly from that of a LT1 Camaro. What works well on an LT1 Camaro is not necessarily going to function properly on a vehicle used for towing a race car. This is why Vortech does not rate its supercharger systems in terms of absolute pounds of boost or PSI. When rating our systems, we rate them conservatively for the average vehicle owner and the pounds of boost on the gauge PSIG.
This ensures the boost level you will receive is true and accurate. It is important to recognize that Vortech has the most efficient supercharger on the market, which translates to less horsepower required to operate the supercharger, cooler discharge temperatures and boost available sooner in the RPM range. Always utilize the stock specified heat range for street legal applications. For continuous heavy-duty racing, off road use only, use one heat range colder than stock and reduce the gap to 0.
NOTE: the gap requirement varies per the application and intended use. It is suggested that you follow the manufacturers suggested recommendation for spark plugs. Do not use platinum plugs, as they are considered long life spark plugs and are not performance spark plugs.
For higher performance engines, consult the spark plug manufacturers for their specific suggestions. Stock is OK. However, the increased mass of the intake air makes the exhaust system flow more than it was originally designed for. Therefore, exhaust modifications such as high performance cat-back exhaust systems can add substantial increases. Follow the vehicle owners' manual recommendations for your vehicle.
We do ask that you change your engine oil at regular intervals because the engine oil cools and lubricates the supercharger gears and bearings. When changing your oil, remove and clean the oil inlet fitting and strainer. For severe duty or racing, it is suggested that you install an oil cooler and filter. We suggest following the manufacturers recommendations concerning oil type and oil change interval.
You can use mineral based, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oils with a Vortech supercharger system as long as the oil meets or exceeds vehicle manufacturer recommendations. All Vortech supercharger systems require the use of premium fuel. Octane boosters are not required but may improve performance in severely hot climates or under circumstances where a heavy load is placed on the engine for an extended period of time such as racing or towing.
In emergency situations, regular gas can be used with the addition of high quality octane boosters for short periods of time. Installations are straight forward with step-by-step, fully illustrated installation instructions. Most Vortech supercharger systems bolt-on with ordinary hand tools in about hours with absolutely no fabricating or cutting of body panels. If you wish to have your Vortech system professionally installed, international turn-key installations are available from your nearest Vortech distributor please call Vortech sales for your nearest authorized Vortech distributor.
Vortech manufactures complete supercharger systems giving you maximum value for your performance dollar. The following items are included with every system at the time of purchase:. Vortech Maximum Support: 3-year supercharger limited warranty is available with all complete systems. Excellent technical support from factory-trained knowledgeable and enthusiastic personnel.
Compressor Matched Systems: Compressor Matched Vortech supercharger system ensures that you will get system ensuring you'll get the proper supercharger for your specific application. If we do not have a complete system for your application, we can refer you to a custom kit manufacturer for further assistance.
Supercharging increases air density and significantly increases power on an otherwise stock engine. In short, supercharging makes a V-6 perform like a V-8 and makes a small block V-8 perform like a big block V Vortech supercharger systems offer more HP per dollar than any other single engine modification.
Most other modifications available require specific matched parts, in-depth tuning, are not smog legal, and won't produce the performance gains you'll receive from just the addition of a Vortech supercharger system.
All Vortech street supercharger systems are designed to work with stock engines and all emissions equipment. If more performance is desired, upgrades to the injectors, heads, cams, intake manifolds, computers, mass air flow sensors, etc.
Any modifications other than the supercharger may require the additional purchase of larger fuel injectors, a larger fuel pump, custom computer tuning, auxiliary ignition system with boost timing retard, and potentially, internal engine modifications. Vortech can assist you with general guidelines but we do not recommend brands, or specific combinations. We are always on the move at events and announcing new products.
Make sure you are always in the know. Home FAQ. How tight should I tighten the Vortech supercharger retaining bolt? What is the best way to remove or install the supercharger pulley, and the appropriate torque specs for the supercharger retaining bolt?
Why should I use Vortech pulleys? What is the benefit of using Vortech pulleys over other aftermarket brand pulleys? Why would a Vortech supercharger belt come off or wear unevenly? Can I run a cog drive system with a Vortech supercharger? Tunze are great pumps but I recommend Vortech's over them. Better flow and more control. Plus looks better in the tank IMO. Although they are both great pumps!!! Mar 15, Adel, IA. I originally tried what Ecotech recommended with one on each side and one on the back but had to turn the back one down extremely low or it would kick all the sand out from the front of the tank.
Decided that was pretty much a waste of an MP40 so I bought a 4th one and now have two on each side and nothing on the back. This setup works well for me now. Cedar Rapids, IA. The tunzes give you directional control you can't get with mp40s and are controllable.
I agree theyre bulkier but the price savings was worth it imo. I definitely want vortechs. I like the sleek design. I'll probably start with two, and make my way from there.
Thanks all for the input. Mar 16, I like my vortechs but hate the noise. Id do rinse if I was to do it again. You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page Tweet. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?
No, create an account now. Tidal Swell mode TSM creates a harmonic balance reminiscent of the changing flow conditions found in nature. Over the course of several hours, the flow pattern will go from very chaotic to calm, followed by a detritus-clearing surge at the very end of the cycle. The flow direction will change direction every cycle. Nutrient Transport mode NTM creates circulation in a two-phase program.
The first phase uses wave motion to stir up detritus. The second phase follows wit a surging motion to move the detritus into the overflow and out of the aquarium. This mode promotes maximum health, nutrient export and increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS. Pumps can be enabled to run a gentler night time program simulating calmer ocean conditions for night time hours.
