Very nice work! Don't forget some sort of shielding between the undersides of the cylinders and the exhaust J pipes or your heads will overheat! Love the supercharger setup.
Yea i forgot to slap them on when I put it together hahaha but I got to take it apart to do a few more mods so ill slap a sticky note on it so I don't forget again
when i get it up & running again ill let you know i haven't set my trimming yet but the last ride it made a hell of a difference . pulls like hell throw the gears . ill let you know when im up & running .
You should have kept the standard cooler and added 1 into the full flow system. The oils only gonna be getting cooled when you’re moving. The standard cooler is has air going over it constantly.
i was actually thinking about that when i was putting the shroud on, i'll probably keep the external one but build one that fits in the stock place that flows through and still pushes to the external one all in the same loop. i think i got enough stuff laying around the shop i can build a nice little cooler to fill in the stock hole
Looks awesome. Couple of things, though. That blower takes over 20 hp at the needed rew range. I have seen a dyno video, and the top was about 30 hp. The modern accessory belt was slipping, even with much greater degrees of contact. The v belt will slip. A lot. But , for a 1600 cc engine, the possible 50 cfm or sub 100 cfm will be something. With no belt slip that blower is good for about 300 cfm. At least it may negate the parasitic load of the blower. The other concern is that the oil cooler no longer has the airflow needed for it's surface area, as it is now located to the still air. But, the overall view is just beautiful. Try connecting a timing lamp to the coil high tension wire, mark small dots to the cranckshaft pulley and the blower pulley, and while rewwing the engine from the idle up, observe the "stopping" dots if they move differently at higher rpm, indicating belt slipping.
Oilcooler got changed out back to an original once I got my hands on one. I see what your saying about the rest of it. Would be concerning if it was going to be a drag car or trying to produce top horse power. But it's not... it's a car that's just for fun. To tinker on and screw around with. Not to be the absolute best at what it is. If it was to produce power it would have been turbo and fuel injected
So the AMR's can be mounted either vertical or horizontal? All the kits I've seen have them mounted vertically. I've been wondering how to get one to fit under the hood and a crankfired ignition will be the ticket if that horizontal mounting isn't an issue.
crank fired IGN would be nice, ive seen a few mounted this way, i went old school on this build. just used exhaust piping and built the flanges to mount it, and the runs fine till it hits past 3/4 throttle then the advancing of the dist. gets to high so i opened the side cover and install a limiting screw so it can't advance full when it starts to make pressure. that way i still have good bottom end and top end. if i went crank fired IGN then i could have went fuel injection but i wouldn't be old school then i like it when my setup doesn't look like everyone else. you get alot less people telling you what to do if they don't have your setup hahahahaha
@@lilcrazyjoe27 yeah, I started searching more and found a couple others. Ideally, crank fired, fuel injected with a single throttle body all under the decklid is my goal
Nice setup! I was wondering if the supercharger is still working turning that direction? I have burnt up two of them turning that direction they say it's because they are supposed to go the other way? Thank you
Hey there Joe, I love your build! I'm just now at the beginning of a new VW project and this is perfect for what i'm doing. I hope you do not mind, i'm going to build this very same engine just as you have done here. I've gone ahead and subscribed and i'll probable be in contact with you for more in depth specs on this engine build.
Yea sure no problem I still havent put it into a car yet so it's not fully set up, I still have to modify the distributor to limit its advancement and put a bit bigger jets into the carb, then I think she will be ready to go
Hey just checking in on how your VW motor build is going or went, get it out on the road? we still haven't got around to finishing this car off so i haven't got to play with my motor yet. if you got any videos of yours going that would be awesome
I'm doing this TBI unit to bolt directly onto the blower in place where the carburetor would normally mount. I'm using Speeduino NO2C board as the EFI controller.
How does that PCV work? The manifold is going to be under pressure during boost when the blowby is at it's hightest. Also did you account for oil vapours in the blow by gasses? I would think a catch cam system would serve you better.
It's plumbed into base of carb so there's vacuum there, it's orficed down so it doesn't suck oil up but has just enough so most of the gasses get sucked in but it's still vented out the oil fill breather, it basicly just takes some of the load off of that breather and helps from making a mess when the breather is spitting oily residue
i put the amr 500 on my 1600 vw dune buggy & it gave it a very notasble difference but it spins the wrong way can you get it to go the other way . o ps it sized up to the coating on the gear inside came off trying to see about getting warranty on it . any body else have trouble with it i only got about 2 hr run time on it . its still winter hear but the snow has almost all gone
Mike and Joe, the AMR500 will spin either direction and perform the same. I use many of these in motorcycle applications and the unit doesn't care which direction it turns. Hopefully this helps.
the car got put on the back burner for a while, i had a few other projects to get working on, but yesterday it just got pulled back into the shop to finish the pan, and then get the body mounted so we will be a bit before i will have any more info for you guys. i have no clue what it will have for HP as i probably will never get the chance to dyno it where we live im not sure if anyone in this town actually has one either hahaha
Not a clue I have never took that carb apart, it came off a 1916cc engine that was in a 365 replica, and I just slapped it on and it worked perfectly for our area I live in hahaha, I broke lucky
never run a serpentine belt, this motor if fun. i'll try and get some video of it one of these days when i pull it back out. just busy building a new radiator repair company thats eatting up all my fun play time
That's alot of cam typical to a 10.1 + motor...37 degrees overlap..be interested to know how it works I have same cam in na engine with 10.5 cr...real cool
it sounds amazing hahahaha and with the hopped up springs and junk it screams when you put your foot into it i wish the video would capture the actual sound of this thing
No not yet, you know I never really looked how the front bearing of those little amr units get oiled, does it share oil from the gear box in its back? Or does it just rely on grease in a sealed bearing? That's where I would start looking for the problem
Is oil bearings in the back the front are seal I replace it and runs good I just need to calibrate the carburetor because need more gas or a bigger carburetor can’t find out yet
Hey Mr Joe. That's awesome. Do you think you could build a manifolds for a type 4 engines for me. Like the top and bottom , between the carburetor and charger and under the charger. Right now I'm running dual 2 barrels. Maybe I would have to get a different intake. But do you think it be okay with a DB Webber ?
If I remember right the intake parts on the head were basicly like the ones on a type one just larger right, you know if you have a exhaust shop in the area you live in that might be a good place to start, just cut up some mounting plates and have the exhaust shop build the intake and have them weld it up, might be a idea, this might be the last beetle I build, I just got into old jeeps recently, got my hands in a old 1949 cj2a
Can you share the carburetor adjustment because my don’t keep running after the choke turn down the car shut off and I try to get more gas and more mixing air but i can’t get it in running to check if is too hi or low
I would have to take this apart to get you that, all I know so far is it came of a 1914cc build, I haven't had to rejet or even adjust a single thing it ran perfect so far, but if I do I'll make sure I get as much info for ya
@@noeemoreno691 Google up fort radiator Ltd. I'm in Fort st john, find my email there, I'll try and help ya along where I can, two heads better then one hahaha
Yea ill be building one eventually , And I went with 1-5/8 exhaust tubing and stretched out the ends to fit over the stock intake bits at the head and slowly honed it out to be a perfect Taper fit when fitted together
Hi. I from Brazil and i'm interested in doing this in my vw1600. What did you use to adapt the arm500? I thinking in buy te arm500, but I dont know what do to adapt it.
i built a plate and intake from scratch, the piping is 1-5/8 exhaust piping and i had a chunk of flat plate steel i traced the amr 500 flange to and made it fit then welded it to the intake i made, tig welded it all together and thats all i got under there
Back of carb, it's nossled down so it can only draw so much and gets just the right amount of negative crank pressure instead of sucking all the oil out and burning it hahaha
I hand built my stuff out of 1-5/8 exhaust pipe and some scrap metal I had laying around, fired up the tig welder and pipe bender and expander, then went to town
i wouldn't have a clue, here in northern british columbia, canada. i don't even think we have seen much for any Daewoo brand stuff other then the odd forklift
Your progressive carb is a DFAV, which means has an Aqua Choke & you should probably have one with an Electric Choke, since Air-cooled VW's don't have any water system.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention I never actually check that out yet, I just assumed either it was modified to electric as this came right off a 1914 build and had a 12v power wire plug on it
Hello, I wanted to know what happened or how the supercharger that you put few years ago in a video you uploaded worked for you ... if it worked for you you preferred to remove it because it did not give you much hp?
i actualy never finished the car yet, was waiting on some parts and im to get them at the end of this month, so i had it on the back burner for two years working on fishing boats and rebuilding some old rifles in the mean time, but i just pulled the car back in to start some prep for when my parts arive, i'll have a update on this in a few month once body is on and i get a seat in place so i can burn some donuts in my parking lot at work
1600cc, 110 cam, high flow oil pump, carb came off a 1916cc build, high rev springs in cylender head ..... 1600cc, 110 cam, bomba de óleo de alto fluxo, o carburador saiu de uma construção de 1916cc, molas de alta rotação na cabeça do cilindro
Probably need a bit bigger supercharger for that, since it's a higher rpm engine, this vw air cooled, the amr 500 only big enough to take the slack out of it and pep it up a bit
4 года назад
Which size is crank pulley for not pass 16000rpm the Aisin 500?
Crank pulls stock size on engine, aisin pulls is what ever came either it off ebay i never checked or even really cared how fast it was gonna spin really hahaha, I just thought hey I want to slap one of these on and make it fit, thought to my self hey this carb from over here should fit and run about right, you know what I didnt need any fancy math to get it to run awesome either, it just works because its a volkswagon hahahaha
the AMR 500 supercharger i bought on ebay.ca "ebay.ca is the canadian version of ebay" it came from china through that, as for the intake to bolt it too i built that with some 1-5/8 exhaust pipe and some flat steel for the flanges, the super charger comes with plastic flanges you can bolt rubber hoses too and make a set up that way also but i wanted hard mounted, i have seen some kits online that you can buy but ofcourse im cheap and dont want to spend $2000 on something i can make and spent $300 on parts
Its interesting how no one is giving up dyno numbers on these AM500 set ups, I suspectthe power is not that much, the AM500 is too small for a engine bigger than 1200cc, you spin it fast & the efficiency falls through the floor.
I did see a video where they had a 1600cc build with one and during tune i think they had around 110-125 i cant remember was a while ago i seen the video but its here on RUclips i did see it I'll probably never dyno this one ill just run it by Temps and ear and run the bag off it to see what happens to it.... one day hahaha
Super gas? how's rest or your engine built up? Soo stock pully you got 3psi, k well that'd a good for me to know when I do my mods to my distributor later
Not a clue yet, haven't finished it, still sitting under the stairs at the shop waiting on the car to be finished, it gets run every once in a while to keep it lubed up waiting and waiting
Hi, robert buckles. I am also interested in doing a project like yours. I'll subscribe like Joe D did so you can help us both. Congratulations on your project.
Thanks, my sister made me build this on a whim for her car as she was pissed off i built a car and sold it before she could drive it, now im wishing I built this motor for something I was gonna drive because its pretty dam cool and snappy
Car is still in build stage, my sister is taking her sweet ass time building it, the motor is gonna dry rot before she's finished hahahha 😂 she's slapping in sound deadening stuff right now so one step at a time...then more engine playing to come
k, so with a statement like that i would like to know how you came to that. as in what set up were you using and your build and what you found and why you changed and so on so i got a little more to go on and whats different maybe of what you did to what im doing
Very nice work! Don't forget some sort of shielding between the undersides of the cylinders and the exhaust J pipes or your heads will overheat!

Looks fantastic. Thanks for the upload. 🐜
Looks like a nice simple setup, good work joe. Look forward to seeing it installed

They say the AMR 500 pulley must rotate counter clockwise , yours is backwards, does it boost ?

Did you have to change the mechanical fuel pump for an electric?
i probably didn't have to, but i did, i haven't checked the specs on the flow needed for this carb. so i just winging it lol

Hi, robert buckles. I am also interested in doing a project like yours. I'll subscribe like Joe D did so you can help us both. Congratulations on your project.
Thanks, my sister made me build this on a whim for her car as she was pissed off i built a car and sold it before she could drive it, now im wishing I built this motor for something I was gonna drive because its pretty dam cool and snappy
The stock doghouse oil cooler would work better.
I did switch back to it when I installed it into the car
Dónde consigo un motor así?
You build it, hahahaha... tu lo construyes, hahaha
Your supercharger's pulley need small one
Car is still in build stage, my sister is taking her sweet ass time building it, the motor is gonna dry rot before she's finished hahahha 😂 she's slapping in sound deadening stuff right now so one step at a time...then more engine playing to come
W120 cam its too big, power band 2000rpm, W100 fits better
k, so with a statement like that i would like to know how you came to that. as in what set up were you using and your build and what you found and why you changed and so on so i got a little more to go on and whats different maybe of what you did to what im doing
im sorry , but a v belt is not going to to the job 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and your gear reduction is not going to make much compression
neat, lets see yours
