You asked for it. The $192 supercharger we got from wish.com is officially going on our thirsty VW, Leonardo the Cabrio. With the help of Ethan and Edwin from Grind Hard Plumbing Co, will our little 2.0L euro beater become a high whining dodge demon clone? Or will it become just another car sitting in our parking lot that doesnt run? See if our Volkswagen makes more horsepower than stock, or less, or none at all.

I love how Nolan's sarcastic guess was surprisingly accurate lol
I thought he meant it would add 50hp.
Pretty sure he knew it was hamstringed and the guess was legit.
I don’t think he was being sarcastic hahahha
That was deadass the best part, like bro was actually right 😭
@@sienile When someone said it just briefly made 1Psi of boost, guessing they had maybe a digital guage from an ECU or something... if it's not running pressure, it's probably restricting the intake like hell. I think being sat in that car, you would feel how bad it was pulling away no matter what the sound was like lol. Reminds me of those whistle exhausts that were a thing for some reason lol
"Its amazing how quieter it got" Thats what we call self clearancing boys. Design tolerance by feel.
Ethan when he saw that it made 46hp laughed but then went to thinking mode wondering why it didn't work. I'm sure he could figure it out with more time. Hell he hit 15psi on his barbie jeep with it. That dude could seriously make a potato into a super charger he's a wizard.
What if it was cause there was no oil in the supercharger
At first I thought, wow, that's actually surprisingly great, for a supercharger from Wish, +46 horsepower. Then realised that was the total... So funny
I only got it after reading your comment.
Bro same 😂
Supercharger*
@@redfishbluefish67 I forgot to read, I could have sworn from memory it was a turbocharger that they bought from Wish. Must be a false memory, cheers.
Lol -46hp
It's impressive how that supercharger manages to halve the power of the car and reduce efficiency simultaneously
The F1 sound though 🤣
Sounded like a F1 V10 engine tho
Haha yeah you guys are right, probably worth it just to terrify the neighbors with that epic supercharger sound 🤣
Are you guys pinheads? It sounds like a bootle stuck on your bike tires.... Surely slower sounds better lol

Okay this guys love it. He's so passionate about this and you don't see it everyday. Can we get a bump on this we I need to see this done asap
Boosted boys did that and it’s still on KZhead! The three cylinder carbureted geo. But I think it was stock ecu and stuff. They tried to do it absolutely dirt cheap
I owned a 96 Cabrio back in the early 00's ,loved that little thing . My friends called it the roller skate ,it made tons of road trips on pennies in gas . It was many things , but fast was not one
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video so fast- I’ve been HYPED for this vid ever since we saw the supercharger
Same here bro lmao
Same lmao
Same here - I’ve been waiting and it feels like its been forever!
Same
Can't believe they actually did it, but so glad they did! 😂
Man it sounds like that supercharger has an incredible amount of friction, the impellers are going to weld themselves together.
same thing i was thinking
I'm just imagining a bunch of metal dust blowing into that poor engine
Yeah, I there is something not right. Either hey have it going the wrong direction or it need oil put in it. They cant ship any engines from China with oil in them, so probably the same for this. It's not a complicated device and for any engine factory to produce, and there a hell of a lot of engine manufacturing in China. I have seen issues with their stuff for using crap materials as well.
@@markusgarvey Chinesium the weakest metal known to man
Lol, as soon as it started I thought to myself "that is the sound of pure pot metal on pot metal friction". Between the noise, the way it would die when you clutch in, and the fact it robbed about half of the power...but, I'd like to think that the boys checked before hand
The amr500 was originally designed for a British car like a mini or something like that. However, it's currently usually used on old-school air-cooled VW bugs and buses with alot of success.
Guys. Honestly. I found this video today, whilst in work and cried with laughter!! We love your dry humour here in England - keep it up!!
“I don’t think we’ve ever built a car that’s run optimally” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That should be the book title 🤣
Part of me wants it to be on backwards so when turned round it does actually make some power! Why not (even if it's not right) turn it around & see how it goes?😁👍🏻
I agree with this
That's what I was thinking. The fact it was barely producing boost makes me wonder
Yeah, flip it around and I bet it will work. As loud as that is, it has gotta be on backwards somehow. Maybe, flip the engine 180 degrees? :D
that what I think
If it was backwards, it would literally be sucking air out of the engine, and it wouldn't run.
This is the hardest I’ve ever laughed while taking a sh**
Bro im on the crapper rn and man this comment hit
Squad
like other comments have said, they didn't take a lot of things into consideration, this needs another go around. it killing half your stock hp should be a sign they fucked up.
FINALLY!!! I am surprised it managed to kill that much power 😂😂
Lmao no spoilers but I totally didn’t think about it just being friction
A youtuber "JoniK" actually has had this supercharger (or something similar. It was "Aisin AMR500" too so i think it's pretty much the same) in his fiat punto. It worked pretty well to be honest.
If you dont add fuel to the right amount in a tune then computer could run too lean or too rich both could hurt motor and hp
wasn't tuned at all for positive pressure. Probably had all sorts of vacuum and boost leaks. Clearly wasn't oiled properly at all... not to mention this style of blower is used for moving large volumes of air to cool down industrial equipment. They are supposed to be driven by a large electric motor.
@@Darctan1 Aisin is genuine Toyota parts, so that's a lot better stuff
When your blower obstructs airflow..lol Would love to see a scope/attempted tune, if it's even possible.
It needs a calculated pully before it blows up 😂😂😂
"when your unoiled supercharger fights for its life to make boost" plenty of people here have it and says it works fine if done right (and having oil in it)
Did the same thing with my mk3 Golf. Started with a genuine AMR500, but it actually restricts flow and lost power. It will not flow enough to feed the 2lt motor. Went with the SC14 and it made a hell of a lot of difference. Boost came on strong. Fitted a switch to the throttle body so the SC was off during idle.
Whoever dose there animations needs a award I swear it makes the videos 10x better
The supercharger needs a smaller pulley to keep up with the airflow a 2l engine needs. It didn’t build any boost because the engine was using more than the supercharger produced
It's meshing... Not boosting
I don't even think it could make boost. Totally defective.
@@renzokata it makes no boost... All that noise you hear is meshing.. this creates HUGE friction.. with friction you lose power.. that's why it kept shutting off... Don't consider this.. you giving your money away
@@tommiraeko8541So you need a pulley from Vortech for the China-made supercharger to work
tbh i think if you put a smaller pulley on it to make it spin faster it would most likely fly apart the moment it goes up to speed
I have a true amr500 on my vw bug and it added about 30hp to the stock 60hp. The wish ones are knockoffs and the lobes delaminate. They are internally oiled and usually shipped empty. Also on a fuel injected car, you need a bypass valve between the supercharger and throttle body.
Explains the horrific noise it made
I feel like these guys would add supercharger oil and not install it empty but never know
@@tjcochran4641 no way they put oil on it. That sounded exactly like a drill press drilling through a block of aluminum with no lubrication. They probably lost all that power because the internals of the supercharger were shredded and blocked the airflow. We'll never know for sure though I guess.
@@engineerisengihere44 sounds like we need a round 2 with a new amr500
@@engineerisengihere44 that would make sense on why it “got so much quieter”
7:52 "I love this car. Its my favourite car in the place" *looks back at the 350z 🤣
7:26 love how happy you are during this crossover
Man, that supercharger sounded like it needed some oil or something. Would explain it getting quieter over time, as the insides started to grind down. Would also explain the loss of hp as the engine is working to grind that metal down. Would like to see the insides of it!
Exactly!!! my first thought that they haven't oiled it!
Well, the guys installing it were called “Grind hard” what’s you expect? 🤣
You can see Ethan oil it in grind hards video!
I'm pretty sure there are sparks coming out of the exhaust at around 9:08 from the metal grinding down in it LOL
@@DoubleSmackJacksSmackAttack it's always done that.
The amr500 super charger is what is used in classic beetles. Apart from questionable quality this should be useable for that.
they are designed for a 900cc motor not a 2L
@@desertsasquatchxploration1568 they didnt give it a tune so its just working harder to compress more air (both in the supercharger and the compression stroke) with no more fuel - hence much less power.
There is something wrong with the installation, that's why it didn't work, you are right we also tested it on an aircooled vw and it worked well
@@mycosys explain how changing fueling and ignition is going to over come a lack of air flow coming out of that charger.
@@bowez9 it's not a lack of airflow, its excessive airflow for the a/f ratio

Fine crafted?
To be fair a Stihl chainsaw is also fine German engineering
How can you not laugh when he pulls the curtain off the whiteboard 🤣
Can’t believe I’m just now seeing this collab! So rad to see Donut and Grind Hard making content together!
@8:32 The faces say it all, no one was enjoying that sound lmao in any capacity at all lmao
Haha love this! So i’m going to share the secrets of the amr500. You must run a recirculate valve before TB for this to work. Right now amr500 is controlling 100% of measured air flow at idle. vacuum will hold it open at idle and allow pressure to relieve, once you leave vacuum it will close and allow boost. They can’t/won’t work otherwise unless you mount the TB before the amr500 👊
I also didn't see them put oil in, I'm sure it came dry. Sounded like it was so loud because it didn't have any oil. I could also be 100% wrong lol
@@xVern They put gear oil in it in the GHPC video.
@@xVern Mine had oil and it was just as loud. It was near deafening which is why I had to switch over to turbskis instead
@@DirtGearTv did you make a video on it if so link the video
@@Cherokee93 Ya, i’m a motorsports channel. I don’t want to be that guy who posts a link in comments but ran an amr500 in summer of 20’ if you want to check my library

Seeing that white Cabrio makes me miss my black mk3.5 Cabrio I had. Was bone stock but I had a blast in that lil 5speed convertible. In a grand Prix GTP now with the m90 supercharger, love it
Btw, I've been subscribed to grind hards channel for a while now too lol love their builds!
11:48 the disappointment on his face😂 he put so much effort into it.
i'm not surprised it took such a huge hit. the amount of power required to turn that dang tiny super was probably insane. i know people who have installed "proper" sized universal super kits, and lost 5 to 10 hp even with 5 pounds of boost or more. its a balance of shaft diameters and friction!
Thanks guys that was a great vid, please make more
8:53 Ethan: "Wow, all that to hear this?"
It's not the supercharger's fault, you were spinning it too slow. Amr500 makes 500cc of air every revolution but the 2.0 engine takes 1000cc of air every revolution so to even keep up, the supercharger needs to spin twice as much as the engine. To make some boost it has to spin even faster. Try smaller pulley
have you seen the pulley they put on? they took it off a generator. off the top of my head i'd estimate the crank pulley to be easily 2,5* the size. of course you're not wrong, i just think the problem is the stock fuel delivery system and the completely nonexistent optimization that's to blame here
Did you sell them the supercharger, Jan?
It will fk up the bearings and melt them through the housing 😅
@@Mike-ry4ti probably 😂😂 this supercharger is basically too small for 2.0
all im hearing is they need one supercharger per cylinder
You guys do such a great job with the ads that I don't have to skip them; it's part of content.
There was ads?
8:38 it sounds like an f1 car starting up here lol
I want to see a follow up video with a scientific breakdown why the supercharger sucked half the life out of the cars power.
Might not have had the right pulley ratio, and also sounded like it was not lubricated whatsoever
because it's junk
tldr it fucked up the air fuel ratio.
Simple, it wasnt spinning fast enough, need a different sized pulley so it’s spinning atleast double the speed it already was, also it was cheap shit😂
It's designed for a tiny gokart engine with like 0.6L of airflow. It couldn't supply enough air to the engine and was actually restricting airflow rather than forcing induction.
I have a 1994 geo Tracker and this exact supercharger seems to be relatively popular within the community with people wanting to make 100 hp+
That sounds sick, I've got a '93 and there's definitely room in that engine bay for one of those. Did you remove the AC to fit it?
@@DoubleSmackJacksSmackAttack I’ve seen other people do that but I plan to install it where the charcoal canister sits so I could run a intercooler through a hood scoop
Noted.
I really think James could be a comic if he isn’t already. dude is just naturally funny af and I could see him putting together some good bits on stage for sure. Love the channel btw.. I hope to be a car expert some day and this channel is part of the reason why as well as my natural love for cars but my ADD self has never been able to retain much info…
I already knew it will take down HP, cus after installation, your Golf started to smoke badly, means not enough air in fire chamber, and probably those "grinding wheels/gears'' took some power too. That charger could work, but for some miniature engine like 0.8L, 1.0L not bigger
exactly, when they were driving i saw some blue smoke...
Oh no baby. 💀💀💀 I was hoping to see an increase! Was still not disappointed. -Edgar
kzhead.info/sun/dsmBqbl_qGiZeIE/bejne.html This one will. But, it's in a Malay because they put it in a national car.
When they find out it wasn't lubricated from the factory.....
That VW sounds like a V8 F1 car 🤣
I love watching what grind hard, they have so many in the store for everyone
yes
Anyone have an English translation?
Been waiting for this. People have fitted these on Hondas but its usually fitted on classic bugs
I put an Amr 500 on a 1600cc bug and it was probably making near 60hp, a nice increase from the stock 30hp
Now how hard would it be to plumb to a Goldwing Gl1200. Stock hp is about 90.
@@craigwiess1656 you need some way of connecting it to your accessory drive, do the math for drive speed, draw carburetor through works but they don’t they don’t live long blow through is an option to but might need a intercooler the like to get hot, efi works too. I would look for a company that sells ones made for bugs because the machine them and run seals that live with blow through, honestly I would go with a cooper S supercharger they will support 200+ hp

Well now it's obvious you have to try two superchargers and see if that makes power
Lol might bring it back up to the starting HP and be TWICE as loud!
@@battleaxe4784 win win
@@battleaxe4784 Its hard to know what effect this really had without a tune, a supercharger always robs power - you add it back with fuel allowed by the extra air. 40HP isnt really a lot of parasitic loss for a supercharger.
Can you put multiple superchargers in line on the same intake?
@@riskvlogs4795 yes i'm not sure if it would work the same as two turbo's basically one turbo is the nose (getting all the air in and filtering it) and the other is the mouth (which spits out all the waste bad air) idk i'm not a pro so I wouldn't know
@9:07 it definitely looks like sparks come out the back.
i love the horsepower reveal at the end, that was the best part next to the noise!
You bought a noise maker. When I was a kid we clothes pinned baseball cards on the front and rear forks of our bicycles. The slapping/flapping sound against the wheel spokes was cool. It only added drag and noise....but it sound cool. You have a modern day noise maker.
Fantastic collaboration, couldn't have picked a better crew to hook this up, can you guys please get Da Caprio a real baby supercharger now though? We need to see what that is like, for science. 😂
Need one from a 3800 gen 2, and fly ghpc back out to hook it up. This Supercharger was for half the displacement, what about one for double?
@@Obsidian319 up the l67 3800 Buick from the holden commodores
@@Obsidian319 those barbie boys had no clue what they doing. wrong ratio on pulleys to start with.. if something makes a sound like that,you take it off and look inside to see whats wrong. even apple and NASA cant make every bolt perfect so how could some chinese sweatshop? that sound could have even come from the belt grinding on something or just a loose bolt in the blower lol
Cabrio. It's a play on words.
You guys have gotta have them back to install a bypass valve and get it tuned right! As it is that supercharger is generating tons of heat and drag on the engine because it's trying to pump the volume behind the throttle plate up to pressure! A bypass valve will allow the supercharger to free wheel when off the throttle. Replicate how centrifugal supercharger installs work.
A bypass valve allowing the supercharger to free wheel when the throttle is off... even though it never makes any significant amount of boost, and then when the throttle is on... that valve will still be flowing backwards because it pumps less air than the motor sucks at W.O.T. Hahahaha. What the hell is a bypass valve going to help with?
@@Hezath Haha true. With the right pulley it might make some boost down low. I hear the VWs have some success with em, those motors don't breathe amazing. But yeah I'm on the same page. The same money/effort spent on a junkyard 3800 supercharger would make it an absolute tire fryer.
The collab we didnt want but what we needed

That was soo cool guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 keep it up
This was probably the most hilarious video on Donut. The Dyno reactions were great.
Now you need to get a legit supercharger and see the real power of Decabrio
The only video on KZhead that the end result is half the power and it’s a success 😂
I just so much this kind of videos, truly litty
It really and truly sounded like you hooked it up backwards. And according to your results, I would have to agree with that assessment.
Agreed, the diagram they showed was also backwards
Its not unusual for a supercharger to take 40HP to run in compression and mechanical losses. Normally you add a heap of fuel to make up for the loss so its hard to know what effect this actually had
The fact it was making literally no boost was a giveaway too. Also the fact that it died if you didn't keep the throttle open, it was causing vacuum pull on the throttle body. That's also a tiny ass supercharger, I could see maybe a 20hp drain from it but 40?. Nah. It also was smoking pretty heavy, although it kinda looked blue (which would be oil) it could have been running super rich trying to compensate for the lack of air.
It didn't had oil
@@JefeInquisidorGOW it did watch grind hards vid
