Supercharged VW Beetle doing Dyno Pulls with an AMR500

[@thompsona10625]

Beetle horsepower is a funny thing. Non vw guys laugh at our small numbers but don’t realize just how light these cars are. 120hp bug will whoop a mustang at a light. My little fiberglass Manx feels like the front tires will come off the ground and it only makes about 70hp :) I pulled on my buddies 400hp impala ss and he just about crapped his pants. Lol. This video is great because I had wondered what this blower could do on either of my bugs. This looks fun!

I know a "Dub" guy who rebuilt a 1600 DP with a single deuce for a dune buggy and put a relatively hot cam in it. After he broke in the engine and changed the oil, he took it out on the street in front of the house and proceeded to pull the front wheels off the ground so high, that he stood the dune buggy on its exhaust pipes, destroying them. That ride scared the crap out of him so bad, that he took the engine apart and put in a more mild cam, which still allowed the front wheels to come off the ground and still be able to see the road in front of the car. This allowed it to be more streetable, and still make good HP & TQ.

[@andrewsnow7386]

It's hard to be sure from the video, but are the wheels running significantly forward of the center line of the roller? If so, is it safe to move the car back so the tires are centered on the roller (I don't know anything about proper dyno operation)? If the center of the rear wheels is in front of (or behind) the center of the roller, then the camber in the rear will force the tires to scrub sideways to some degree as the rotate. Imagine if you had a roller right at the back of the tires (at the 9:00 o'clock position looking at the right tire). Here the slip angle of the tire would match the camber angle. The scrub will be much less when the roller is near the 6:00 o'clock position, but only at the 6:00 o'clock position will the scrub be zero (assuming a zero running toe setting). I don't know how much power the tire scrub could eat up - probably not really enough to be noticeable. Somewhere in the one horsepower range wouldn't surprise me.

[@cfitch33]

What's your compression ratio? My 1600 is 9.1:1. It's dual carb too so I'm probably going to run a dual charge setup 😁

Keep coming back to this video for inspiration. Building something crazy at the moment with stockish 1600 lump and Mercedes m45 blower.

Got to be 20% or so as bone stock 50 odd bhp engine usually in 40bhp zone on dyno.

Hey do you think It would work on a mini cooper 1.6L with stock injection? What is the relation os the engine rotation and the charger rotation?

[@thedubshop]

It would probably be a little small for a mini. The rotation here is clockwise, the supercharger inlet is on the bottom and the outlet on top feeds the engine.

[@JamesVollmar-wt1pq]

A mini supercharger stock is a m45. Which is 45 cubic inches. So the amr 500 only equals 30.5 cubic inches. A little small. Now of course if you port the supercharger and run a smaller pulley with water meth injection to cool intake temps it would be fine. I am running a m112 supercharger on a 350 sbc. Heavily ported and polished with aftermarket aluminum heads. I make 8lbs boost with a small pulley at 594 hp. Dyno. But I'm overdriving the blower having to precool it with water meth to keep temps down .

What efi throttle body is he using?

[@thedubshop]

I am using a 48mm throttle body. I keep them in stock and they are from VW speed shop in England.

GET DOWN!!!!!!

[@cliveturner4980]

who cares what it sounds like how much hp does it make?????

[@DavidStutzmann]

Braking on a bench results in the invalidation of all measurements! Dynamic losses due to inertia must be taken into account in the wheel power calculation! In addition, the rear wheels are "against" the rollers instead of being above them, centered.

[@cameronkendall9113]

can someone tell me why you are boosting your motor just to get 90whp... you can build a way more powerful motor w out running boost

[@thedubshop]

But getting 90hp from a stock long block is cool. It pulls like a 2L. I even had to upgrade the clutch since it was slipping at low boost numbers.

[@smokepeddler]

1835 with cadrons , 120 cam 110 hp. Still don't understand why people use these AMR set ups.

[@mikegreen2229]

Torque. Torque moves the car. Have you driven a boosted Beetle before? It’s epic

[@rattedbug5003]

Great stuff Im running a 1776 with 10 psi boost interesting to see the numbers that your making. I have water meth injection to install and I reckon ratio rockers and maybe msd would help. Have you thought of adding these? I also run a reece fish carb so would be like injection that your running

[@thedubshop]

Thanks! I do have a water injection system in use. Without it my intake temps are over 200 degrees F. Ratio rockers are something I would like to try one day. Since I am running LSx coils already I am not sure I have much to gain with an MSD system. I also don't trust them much with as many failures that I have seen from them.

Turbo it I’ll make like 160hp same money

[@thedubshop]

I tried the smallest T3 turbo you can make, and made less power. But that was a long time ago. Same longblock though. I need to try a really small turbo. Here is that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpTGp2dsabSJd5Y

[@mostlycars7586]

0-60 or quartermile?

[@thedubshop]

Check out this video. I was able to take another .4s off the ET the next time to the track. At the end is a time slip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqOkdJl4lreIaM0

[@mostlycars7586]

​@@thedubshop Ha that's awesome. Thanks. I am all in. Here's mine... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZovIfpRofcx7f9E

[@thedubshop]

Sweet! I'm subscribed 🙂 My daily is a 06 C230. No AMG but I ❤ it.

[@joshmeselfhighup1603]

Fucking cool

[@carpballet]

That’s a lot of video with no on-screen info.

[@Shift2Movies]

LOL fun!

[@Supercharger_Carb]

93 лошади? Да это смех! Вкладывать такие деньги, чтобы получить на выходе меньше 100 лошадиных сил? Бред!

[@captlarry-3525]

well congratulations.. about as much power as a stock 1.9 L turbo diesel TDI Vw motor..but with a lot more noise, expense, complication and 1/10th the reliability.

[@thedubshop]

Thank God for America. I enjoyed building it for every second.

[@Bearthedancingman]

Power 👍 Noise 👍 Fun 👍 Creativity 👍 Getting 90+ hp from an engine that originally only made about 50hp 👍 Proving the idea can be done 👍 Increasing drivability & reliability exponentially by using EFI 👍 Having fun doing the research and investing time in something you enjoy 👍 . Cost of developinment 👎 Some asshole pointing out the lazy way to achieve the same result without realizing that the result is only a part of the goal 👎 . Not giving a shit what the asshole thinks 👍

[@housepumpinpc3983]

Wow dude... I can't wait for you to shoehorn that engine and subsequent cooling into a beetle. Please bless us with your results.

[@petehughes9208]

how do you put a water cooled turbo diesel in a Beetle? KompressorHaus get 101 real hp out of a 1641cc engine. Double normally aspirated power. The car weigh around 800kg. I have a 1955cc VW with twin IDF and that scoots. Probs only makes 110-120hp!!

[@basedsigma5634]

Just put a rotary turbo in it.

[@ovalwingnut]

What! Are we your girlfriend? You got to share the #'s after each run..... I can't wait around. I have to go fix my makeup. Face palm.

[@arthurn9237]

WAAAYYYY TO MUCH FRIKIN MUCH NOISE IN THIS VIDY I'LL NOT BOTHER TO WATCH AGAIN OR FORWARD JUST TOOOO DAM NOISY

[@thedubshop]

Thanks for your feedback, you can also use the volume slider to turn it down to your liking.

[@johnmcook1]

no graphs at all ?

[@thedubshop]

tell me you didn't watch until the end without saying you didn't watch until the end.. Here you go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5KtfWt3m7lgrcU
