All kits include V-3 (self-lubricated) supercharger.

The new Vortech V-3 Si-Trim gear driven centrifugal supercharger features an internal lubrication reservoir that does not require a connection between the engine oil pan and the compressor gear case... no oil line. The V-3 includes remote fluid drain hose (attached to supercharger) that allows for simple fluid changes without removing the supercharger from the vehicle
Technologically advanced, high-efficiency impeller and housing design developed in our SAE J1723 compliant supercharger test cell. Fuel management upgrade includes high-flow fuel injectors, 2 bar Map sensor, fuel pump voltage booster assembly and DiabloSport™ Predator hand-held programmer which controls ignition timing and fuel enrichment
Integrated dual-pass air/water charge cooler configuration features a closed loop water cooling system with a stand-alone pump, tank and front mounted heat exchanger


High-flow bypass valve provides for surge-free compressor operation Inlet and discharge duct connections utilize heat resistant silicon sleeves and premium quality stainless steel clamps
Billet aluminum mounting bracketry for "factory installed" appearance and rigidity

Complete bolt-on system including all necessary belts, pulleys and reusable high-flow air filter

******Note:****** 50-state emissions certification is planned. Currently, these systems are legal for vehicles that may never be used on public highways, off road use only.

* Supercharged horsepower and torque data shown is a calculated estimate based on percentage increases from actual rear wheel hp/tq measurements. Higher boost and power levels are available for modified engines.

time to start saving.........:) I want to see the effects on the drivetrain with just the vortech added. The vortech would be my biggest purchase and I'd be trying to keep the Jeep as close to stock as possible (engine and drivetrain wise). My pockets cannot afford all the extras if things can't hold up.

By my mathematical calculations based on the hp gain you claimed... you are running 6psi. Did you install a boost gauge?

The 3 yr/36K poertrain warranty is only for their Top Tier installers of which there is only 1 in our Chicagoland area. We will be listed as an authorized dealer/installer shortly.

Hi guys! Hi Greg!
I want to know how much does it can cost to send me a complete Vortech kit for my srt. I live in Martinique FWI (on north of St Lucia and south of Dominica in the caribian), and there's no dealer.

You can certainly install the kit yourself. The complete kit comes with everything you need to install.

I sent over a PM with the costs involved.

Hi guys! Hi Werks! Thank you for your help. I find some information on the vortech web site. It great!!
I want to know how many time does it take to receive the complete polish kit if I order next week?
I saw that it can take about 10 to 14 hours to install the kit. It's about a wee-kend.

Hi Dakota 57!

You would be looking at roughly 3 weeks delivery time for the system if you place the order next week. The sooner we place the order with Vortech the sooner you will receive it, the kits are being built on a per order basis.

Yes plan on a good weekdn of time to install the system.

Thanks,
Dave

Just kidding, y'all. I should have never stopped by the shop yesterday; seeing the Vortech in person just adds to the torture. This is going to be a long month...

Yes, pictured is the tuner kit. It comes with everything the complete kit does minus injectors, map sensor, fuel pump booster and Diablosport tuner.

Before install the supercharger, I have to fix an oil consumption problem to avoid a break down.
