AMR500 Supercharger for VW Beetle

[@mestapho2011]

man that thing sounds so smooth. doesn't sound like your typical vw..

[@thedubshop]

That's the fuel injection :D

[@mestapho2011]

@@thedubshop wow so the fuel injection makes it sound porsche like? i'm going to have to do some research into fuel injection more seriously. I always wanted my VWs to sound this way. they would on that first start up after rebuild but quickly went back to the standard sound.

[@thedubshop]

@@mestapho2011 well, you are also hearing the supercharger too. So it wouldn't sound quite the same.

[@robertocampos6064]

I really like the way the supercharger is mounted. Does it fit under the deck lick?

[@thedubshop]

Thanks! It sure does. No stand either 😀

[@vwdarrin]

very cool ,

[@thedubshop]

Thanks! It's sure fun :)

[@tirijalito]

I'm trying to put one in my stock 1600i with a/c, any tips?

[@thedubshop]

I haven't tried that yet, so I can't be of much help, sorry!

[@aca247]

So what u recommend for the Mexican beetle EFI 1600cc

Mario Velotta Jr Thank you, bro! Nice engine!!! I'm putting a similar project, im brazilian!

[@frankfreeman1678]

Does it make a difference which size tubing you use between the charger and the intakes? Would it make any difference between 1 1/4 and 2 inch if I'm using a 4 barrel carburetor.i mean it is being compressed anyway. It's being compressed and blown and not vacuumed. Thanks Frank

[@knockout818]

Is the pipe a bit bigger going out to the manifold? Is there a reason for it being bigger? Thanks

[@thedubshop]

I have lots of 2" mild steel tubing and make other intake manifolds with it, so it was easy. That is also the output size of my throttle body.

[@BRIDGEBURNERSTV]

Does your supercharger let any air in/out behind the pulley? I’ve been chasing a vacuum leak down in mine, and that’s the only place air escapes (if I spray carb cleaner while running it changes AFR and bogs down) and I did a smoke test and smoke came out behind the pulley. I’m trying to figure out if this is a common thing or if mine might need to be replaced. Thanks in advance. Killer setup btw.

[@thedubshop]

That is not something I have experienced but I have not looked into it either. Since the shafts are press fit in the bearings, maybe your bearing seals are going out.

[@platinumfights1128]

I'm assuming this only works with fuel injection.

[@grymbathym635]

I guess it could work with carb

[@thedubshop]

Not at all, people use them with carbs all the time.

[@lelogumby7122]

Hi looks good where did you get the pulley system and brackets from? God bless.

[@thedubshop]

The pulley is by MST, I have made the bracket and intake manifold! You can find more at www.thedubshop.com :)

[@zikang9249]

What belt did u use ? its so silent :)

[@thedubshop]

It's a Gates serpentine belt. Nothing fancy. Check out my new video :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV64oYehoNOtqMk

[@XxNiTrODONxX]

Have you created a kit to transform a stock 1600, into a supercharger 1600?

[@thedubshop]

I do have an EFI supercharger kit, I just do not have it published on my website. I have a few of the parts for sale though.

[@mbchannel1037]

How much boost does the Supercharger make?

[@thedubshop]

I've had it upto 13psi.

[@wacko69]

would it work with the mexican efi ?

[@thedubshop]

No, I have made a new intake manifold that does not use the Mexican EFI, only the throttle body.

[@rafaeldesouza-searchmarket7788]

How many PSI this Supercharger generates?

[@thedubshop]

Check out some of my other videos for dyno numbers and racing at the track. I'm running 13psi right now :)

[@juniorregis9056]

I like

[@thedubshop]

Junior Regis thanks ☺

[@Albertosalat]

Dyno resutls?

[@thedubshop]

Not yet, once I settle on parts and configuration I will make a dyno appointment
