Vortech
superchargers operate on fundamental and proven turbo machinery
principles, first described by Euler's turbo machinery equation
developed in the 18th Century. This principle states that
the work imparted to a fluid by an impeller is related to
the change in angular momentum of the fluid. From these humble
beginnings, the centrifugal compressor has evolved and found
its way to becoming the most efficient and reliable means
for delivering charge air at high pressures. Vortech has seized
upon these known performance advantages and has developed
its line of centrifugal superchargers to a performance level
that clearly establishes Vortech as the performance and technology
leader in aftermarket supercharging.
Utilizing
precision ground gears to drive its impeller, the V-1 incorporates
the strength of superior design with the quality and testing
that make Vortech famous. As a result of our precise drive
system, the impeller requires minimum clearance which contributes
to Vortech's superior efficiency and durability. The heavy
duty (H/D) configuration includes high-speed, ceramic hybrid
ball bearings, ideal for race applications, i.e. cog pulley/Gilmer
drive. From the popular S-Trim to the aggressive, race ready
T-Trim and the latest Si-Trim, the V-1 is a versatile supercharger
for the most demanding enthusiast.
The V-2
SQ model is considered the new generation among superchargers.
Highly advanced computer designed gears feature an optimized
helical profile which allows for near silent operation while
providing superior performance. All V-2 SQ units feature a
3.6:1 internal step-up ratio and are direct bolt-on replacements
for our V-1 units.
The V-4
offers the best performance in our supercharger line and is
designed with the serious racer in mind. When operating at
12 PSIG, this model is nearly twice as efficient as a Roots-type
supercharger. The V-4 is capable of producing CFM flow levels
in the 2,000 range, up to 32 PSIG of boost and horsepower
potential up to 1,400. All units feature our exclusive D-port
volute for improved efficiency and utilize extra wide, heavy
duty design gears. The heavy duty (H/D) configuration includes
high-speed, ceramic hybrid ball bearings, ideal for race applications,
i.e. cog pulley/Gilmer drive.
Designed
for use on 1.6 to 4 liter engines, the V-5 features a low-surge
threshold for smaller displacement, high-revving engines.
As with all other Vortech superchargers, development and testing
took place in a state-of-the-art test cell (compliant to SAE
Standard J-1723). This efficient compressor design requires
less horsepower to drive the impeller and provides cooler
discharge temperatures. These features, matched with our exclusive
D-port volute, allow for more available boost throughout the
operating range, especially at higher engine speeds.
The V-7
Series combines the advanced technology and race-proven performance
of the V-4 model and fits most of our existing mounting bracketry.
The V-7 is designed for vehicles with highly modified engines
and extreme CFM/boost demands. All units feature our exclusive
D-port volute for improved efficiently and require the use
of a Vortech Racing Bypass Valve. The heavy duty (H/D) configuration
includes high speed, ceramic hybrid ball bearings, ideal for
race applications, i.e. cog pulley/Gilmer drive.
The V-9
Series is ideal for applications where space around the engine
is a consideration, as with GM F-Body and Sport Compact vehicles.
Designed for engines ranging in size from 1.2L to 6.0L, the
V-9 features our AirAssist/Power Drain lubrication system,
exclusive D-port volute for improved efficiency and a V-band
volute clamp for easy under-hood packaging.
The V-20
series supercharger brings new technology in the form of a
modular, super-robust drive system to meet the abuses found
in the high-powered (1,000+ HP) segment of drag racing. Several
unique, patentable features were incorporated into this new
design, offering unprecedented strength and durability with
improved manufacturability. The V-20 series can accommodate
most existing Vortech compressor stages as well as new ones
under development. The V-24 and V-27 are currently shipping.
