I been looking around for a supercharger and found a Vortech Supercharge V1 Trim that came out of a Mercury (idk the model) 3.0 Liter, I know the brackets might not work but would the supercharger work in my 2002 mustang GT? where can i find the brackets for it? its a really good deal cuz the superchager (head unit and the mercury brackets) will cost me $600, what else would I need now beside the Mustang brackets?

is it set up to mount on the driver side or pass side? there could be a bunch you need, it might not even work. you'd probably want to call vortech and see what they say.

As long as its the correct rotation and such you can get the brackets and everything from superchargersonline.com for really cheap.

rotation is the key as AJM said, then you could make the rest work.

Vortech V1 Trim Supercharger thats the link...

 

[BakerFX4]

call and make sure it is reverse rotation. I think i am correct on this.

thats the link of the person... tell me what u think Vortech V1 Trim Supercharger

 

[BakerFX4]

looks fine... AJM could prolly help you out on putting an entire kit together for a descent price. He saved a good bit by putting his own kit together.

Like these guys said, make damn sure it's the right rotation (clockwise vs counterclockwise) and call vortech to make sure you can get mounting brackets and whatnot. The other things you're going to need...

Hardware!!! Very important and often overlooked part. The wrong hardware can obviously lead to compromised strength and durability, and it can also cause you're belt to be misaligned and you're going to constantly shred $35-$50 belts.

All the piping and rubber elbows/sleeves
Intercooler (not necessary but HIGHLY recommended if you're going past 8-9 lbs of boost)
Some kind of bypass valve
Better MAF
Handheld Tuner, get whatever the person tuning your car uses
Custom Tune, Dyno or Email
Boost/vac gauge, don't get just boost
Wideband A/F, Necessary for email tunes, may not be for dyno tunes
Fuel pressure, not necessary but it's nice to know what your fuel is doing
Higher flowing fuel pump, SVT focus or GT pump (get the Gates fuel line too)
Bigger injectors, probably around 39#-42#

That's all I can think of for now

A supercharger for a 3.0L Mercury?

Wtf Mercury had a 3.0 that Vortech sold a supercharger for?

Okay everyone said to make sure is the right rotation, what type of rotation would that be? lol and you guys think this could work? because I been looking at picture of vortech in other mustang and tube(idk what that is call) is facing the passager side and the one that they are selling faces the driver side, you guys know what I mean?

I open up like 7 or 8 threads at once in different tabs and read through them and comment on some of them. It just takes me a while to read through all the stuff. Oh well

It doesnt matter what way the discharge tube is facing. They discharge to the drivers side on a Procharger. From the looks of the one in your picture that one discharges to the passenger side anyway. The hole with the blades faces the front of the car and sucks in air, and so the discharge tube comes off the left aka passenger side if you were looking at the charger installed in the car. I would just get the serial number from the guy and call vortech tomorrow.

Thanks, with the serial number I can find out more information with Vortech? such as what car and model that supercharger would fit in? or what can I find out with the serial number?

 

[BakerFX4]

yeah and then call the company and takl to them.

No you're right I think. My bad. I was thinking that the discharge tube came out the bottom-side like on a Procharger so if you looked at the front of the car with the charger installed it would basically be sitting like it is in the picture. It looks like vortechs discharge more on the topside.
