Vortech Engineering has announced the availability of the Lysholm design VL Series superchargers featuring the Twin-Screw concept.
Through an agreement with Lysholm Technologies, Vortech will distribute automotive systems and tuner kits in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Vortech becomes the only aftermarket manufacturer to offer both centrifugal and twin-screw, compression-type superchargers.
The VL is a unique positive displacement design that provides maximum low-end torque as well as high efficiency for maximum top-end horsepower..
Initial Ford applications include ’07-’09 Shelby GT500 and Shelby GT500KR Mustangs plus the ’03-’04 Mustang Cobra as a direct replacement for the OE Roots-type supercharger in 2.3L and 3.3L compressor sizing to support power in the 700hp range (with 3.3L).
Features include a plenum design with increased volume that allows for an unrestricted flow to the intake port and integrated bypass valve. The compressor mounts mount to the stock supercharger’s air/water charge cooler with the included adapter plate.
Calibration is accomplished through the DiabloSport Predator hand-held programmer that controls ignition timing and fuel enrichment.
These are complete bolt-on system including all necessary belts, pulleys and fasteners. A Vortech 3-year/36,000-mile powertrain limited warranty is available.
