I asked Google AI Gemini Advanced a question about Vortech V3 JT Trim supercharges and Gen2 / Gen3 Coyote engines. I've been asking it car questions today and some of the answers are pretty good, some are not so much.
Here's a breakdown of suggested setups for a Vortech V-3 JT Trim Supercharger on Gen 2 and Gen 3 Coyote Mustang GTs, with fuel and boost considerations:
Important Premise: Tuning is vital for the safety and optimal performance of any supercharger setup. The following information is a general guideline, and you should always consult a professional tuner experienced with Coyote Mustangs.
Gen 2 Coyote (2011-2014 Mustang GT)
Here's a breakdown of suggested setups for a Vortech V-3 JT Trim Supercharger on Gen 2 and Gen 3 Coyote Mustang GTs, with fuel and boost considerations:
Important Premise: Tuning is vital for the safety and optimal performance of any supercharger setup. The following information is a general guideline, and you should always consult a professional tuner experienced with Coyote Mustangs.
Gen 2 Coyote (2011-2014 Mustang GT)
- Pump Gas (91-93 octane):
- Boost level: 7-9 PSI is a generally safe and reliable range for pump gas.
- Pulley size: Start with the basic pulley provided with your kit and adjust as needed based on your specific setup and tuner recommendations.
- Fueling:
- Larger fuel injectors (500-600 cc/min range is common)
- Consider a fuel pump voltage booster to support increased fuel flow requirements.
- E85:
- Boost level: Due to E85's higher octane rating, you can run more boost safely, potentially up to 12-14 PSI depending on supporting modifications.
- Pulley Size: You'll need a smaller pulley compared to your pump gas setup to achieve higher boost.
- Fueling:
- Significantly larger fuel injectors (1000cc/min +)
- Upgraded fuel pump to handle the volume of E85.
- Pump Gas (91-93 octane):
- Boost level: 7-9 PSI should be a safe starting point.
- Pulley size: Again, begin with the kit's provided pulley and adjust as needed.
- Fueling:
- Larger fuel injectors (500-600 cc/min range is common)
- Consider a fuel pump voltage booster.
- E85
- Boost level: 12-14 PSI may be possible, depending on your specific setup and quality tuning.
- Pulley Size: Use a smaller pulley than your pump gas setup.
- Fueling
- Significantly larger fuel injectors (1000cc/min +)
- Upgraded fuel pump for E85 flow requirements
- On 2018+ models, additional fueling measures for the direct injection system may be necessary for high-horsepower builds.
- Supporting Mods: A larger, higher-flowing intercooler and a higher-flow exhaust will help maximize your supercharger setup's benefits.
- Heat Management: Proper heat management (heat exchanger upgrades, etc.) becomes more critical as power levels increase.
- Transmission: You may want to consider strengthening your transmission, especially for increased horsepower from higher boost and/or E85.
- Professional Tuning: Always work with a reputable tuner who can dial in your car's specific tune to optimize performance and avoid engine damage.
