This is gunna help me out alot, I’m planning on doing this set up on my stock 1600 dp. Please dont delete this video. you’re the only guy who’s made an install/how to on this. ❤️
Awesome to do business with!!! I had my blower and carburetor already so Mr. Berry sold me everything else I needed to complete the package. I received the pieces yesterday and got started with assembling it today. Mr. Berry created this kit to be a clean bolt-on setup and that is exactly what it is, clean and neat! If you have a basic tool kit and you can do your own valve adjustments, tune-ups and oil changes,,,, you can install this kit!!!
Great video, what about Timing? Do you just leave at normal I’ve heard you need to lock out so doesn’t go above 28 degrees full throttle. You never mentioned anything about timing. Thanks
I don't like to lock out the ignition advance. It causes a sluggish responsive engine. I like to start at 28 degrees toatal advance and work down from there. Like if your getting spark knock them drop to 27 or 26. Thank you
Hello, I just put in a rebuilt 1600 dp engine and I'd love more power. My question is what risks does this setup pose to the longevity of the engine. also I will be running it on a daily basis in Las Vegas Nevada would this hold up to the heat? Don't know alot about superchargers in general so thanks for the information.
I have a few in California that drive weekly but idk about Nevada. I know heat is the killer on these little blowers. I've had a few issues when your on the highway for several hours on super hot days. Thank you for your interest
Have to at least take the fan shroud off and if you have the old style bend a 10mm wrench and take the 2 nuts off but be careful not to drop them and if you have the new doghouse style bend a 13mm wrench. Its tricky some but yes it can be done
The 120 cam is ok but a little much for the blower. And a 1914 would need a overdrive pulley to be able to have some boost. It will have some improvement but not as much as like a 1835 or smaller. I have a few people with 1914 and they seem happy but it all comes back to each individual
Stick 1600 the boost rages from 4 psi to 10 psi. All comes down to the engine and yes I have overdrive pulley but for stock engines I don't suggest it. To ke that's to much boost
@@leeberry584 I have a stock 1600 dp with bolt ons ( header, dune buggy type duals, 1.25 rockers, dual 36mm Dellortos, Pertronix electronic ignition conversion ). I hope to see at least 5 or 6 psi with the stock pulley. Engine is an unknown but I’ll do a compression test before moving forward.
Yes we ship worldwide. Please email or message us with a full address and items your interest in and we will get you a shipping cost. Thank you for your interest
Unfortunately not. Your engine has to much displacement for this blower. If you really want a boosted engine you may want to look into a turbo. Thank you for your interest
@@leeberry584 I’ll be building a 1679 in the future and will probably get this kit for that one!!! Any cam, head, rocker recommendations for a 1679 with your kit??
Good demo have some questions about these kits: Does the kit carb have a vacuum port for SVDA distrubutors? (part-throttle vacuum signal) What fuel pressure does that carb need? Any plans to ship carbs jetted (ballpark) for the customer’s motor? Is the accel pump adjustment accessible once it’s mounted? Are there different pulley sizes for different boost levels? Max boost? Any before/after dyno or track times? Thanks!!
The carburator may be modified for vacume advance. 2psi it what the pump runs and what the carburator uses and we can help with jetting but we ship with all stock size jets
Unfortunately not. We feel the 1914 is the largest that the amr500 will work on but we suggest a overdrive pulley also on that large of engine. Thank you for your interest
Yes we have one in your country. If you go to the website berrysblowersllc.com or berrysblowers Facebook and message or Email me your address information ill get u a estimate on shipping
@@juniorclassicvwbugs924 im sorry I do not know. You will have to contact them. But if your interest i have a less expensive kits also but I'm not sure what your looking for. Thank you for your time
Where's the additional work of removing the pistons and machining 3mm from the crown to lower the comp ratio? Will also need an intercooler to lower intake temps. Just bolting this charger on like this will result in a very hot running engine which will be prone to head gasket failure..
If your wanting to lower the mechanical compression i recommend copper head shims or add lower jug shims cause cutting the pistons will change all the weights and also may make them weaker under hard boost and a intercooler is more for a blow threw system than a draw threw. I have done both systems up to 23 psi with nos and have no issues when I kept the mechanical compression at 8.1
I'm not going to argue with you, there are 8.5K members on a Facebook group called AMR 500 Superchargers that would love to hear you tell them that they are doing it all wrong!!!
@@robertbuckles3596 They're not completely wrong it's just that with a lower comp ratio and an intercooler the engine would benefit from a cooler & denser intake charge, would produce more power and would have improved reliability. You provide a cheap kit for those on a budget, I'm not knocking that it's just there are better ways of doing it albeit at additional expense..
I like 8.1. Gives a good throttle response and is good for boost. Any less you get sluggish response and any more you get spark knock issues. Thank you for your interest

Got mine from Berry last week
Great video. Eccentric genius at work. Videos like this are important for the future generations..
This has got to be the cleanest set up! Great job!!!
Looks really nice! I definitely get one once I get my engine rebuilt.
I remember when you broke your thumb, I think you were helping me with my setup, good content and info as always, keep up the excellent work
hopefully I have my '71 ready for engine install by this spring. I'm gonna buy a kit, cant wait
Great vid!! Plus all the correct needed info !!
Nice Set Up Im Thinking of Going Down This Root With a Super charger
Nice 😎 setup... Very nice Beetle... Herbie's cool.
Thank you !!
Where did you mount an electric fuel pump? Which pump do you run? What do you set the timing at for this setup?
I have a fresh 1776,, would love to try this out on my 68 Baja
Baja you have more options available. You could use the downdraft or sidedraft and on downdraft you have more carburator options
@@leeberry584 any videos showing these options?
Do you know by any chance where to get the kit that is shown?

@ 6:48 - How do you change the oil cooler on these motors without taking off the engine tin(s)????
Have to at least take the fan shroud off and if you have the old style bend a 10mm wrench and take the 2 nuts off but be careful not to drop them and if you have the new doghouse style bend a 13mm wrench. Its tricky some but yes it can be done
Very nice video. Want this setup.
Thank you!
NICE KIT. Do you know how much power is adding to the 1600 and do you ship to PR, 00603
Please message us a full address with a phone number for shipping cost and most test come back 40% increase
Berry, what size and specs motor is this?? And do you have any video of a car driving with one of your setups??
Its a complete stock 1600 dual port and do not have any videos anymore. Thank you for your interest
Hi Barry Great video ive enjoyed it. Can the kit be bought as in the video or can all the hardware be bought seperately?
The kit comes with everything but fuel hose and vent tube
@@berrysblowers6411 thank you. Its a brilliant setup.
Great video I have a 1967 bug I want to get a blower kit for can you give me the link so I can older a kit
Which kind of jet do you use? Main jet, idle jets etc....? Many thanks in advance for your help
Main jets on a stock engine is anywhere from 130 to 150 and pump jets are 30 to 60 ans I use stock ilde jets
Great video. What type of carb is that?
It a dcoe 40mm webber clone
Where can I buy the bracket and tubes. I have the blower. Or how much for everything with blower
Where do you connect the hose from that supercharger bracket on the block?
The brass fitting? To any breather kit or you can put a plug in if you do. Ot want to use it
In germany we use it with the original 34 pci. 65kw 4500m 175nm 3500m
What would you suggest for a 1914cc that is currently running a dual twin 40 dell'orto with a 120cam? It apparently has 110/120hp.
The 120 cam is ok but a little much for the blower. And a 1914 would need a overdrive pulley to be able to have some boost. It will have some improvement but not as much as like a 1835 or smaller. I have a few people with 1914 and they seem happy but it all comes back to each individual
How much more power does this thing make over the original 36hp??? Awesome use of those superchargers
I have nit dyno a 36 hp at all but I would imagine it would have the potential to double it
@@leeberry584 i think so as well…….imagine if you could find a way to add port fuel injection🤯
Are you selling these on The Samba?
Vocês enviam para o Brasil ? Meu motor é um 1600 ,i need this .
How much boost with the stock pulley ? Do you offer smaller pulleys ?
Stick 1600 the boost rages from 4 psi to 10 psi. All comes down to the engine and yes I have overdrive pulley but for stock engines I don't suggest it. To ke that's to much boost
@@leeberry584 I have a stock 1600 dp with bolt ons ( header, dune buggy type duals, 1.25 rockers, dual 36mm Dellortos, Pertronix electronic ignition conversion ). I hope to see at least 5 or 6 psi with the stock pulley. Engine is an unknown but I’ll do a compression test before moving forward.
Hallo from South Africa 🇿🇦.
Do you do shipping outside the States
Yes we ship worldwide. Please email or message us with a full address and items your interest in and we will get you a shipping cost. Thank you for your interest
Where do I order?
Is this better than a turbo? Or is turbo better for more power? Seriously I don’t know. Newbie
If you just want power yes turbo is better but if you just want some extra power for fun then the blower. Thanks for your interest
Where did you buy the turbocharger and accesories?
Witch parts are you referring to ?
Would this kit work okay on a 2054 with full flow fan assist oil cooler???
Unfortunately not. Your engine has to much displacement for this blower. If you really want a boosted engine you may want to look into a turbo. Thank you for your interest
@@leeberry584 I’ll be building a 1679 in the future and will probably get this kit for that one!!! Any cam, head, rocker recommendations for a 1679 with your kit??
Do not need a large cam. But a 110 with 041 heads are good and you really don't need performance rockers
What's the hp increase on a 1600 cc engine?
Roughly 40% is added
Berry Where can I buy it (super easy)😎💯
HOw much is this kit and do you ship to Mexico? Also, is this kit good for a 1600?
The kit is 1449.99 + shipping Yes we ship anywear and yes would work fine on a 1600.

I'm sorry. It was like my 3rd video ever and I'm not very good being recorded
What is the Compression Ratio recommended for use this supercharger in a 1600 cc dual port?
I like 8.1. Gives a good throttle response and is good for boost. Any less you get sluggish response and any more you get spark knock issues. Thank you for your interest
