Features
- ROOTS-TYPE MECHANICAL SUPERCHARGER Belt-driven positive displacement blower using twin-lobe rotary design (commonly called "Roots-type") for instant low-RPM torque response. Delivers 500cc of forced air per revolution. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking linear power delivery.
- COMPATIBILITY & REALISTIC PERFORMANCE Compatible with 1.0L2.2L naturally aspirated gasoline engines. Optimal efficiency: 1.0-1.6L (3-6 psi typical boost). 1.8-2.2L applications may see modest gains (2-4 psi) and require higher pulley ratios + professional tuning. Results vary by engine condition, fuel system, and ECU calibration.
- PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION ESSENTIAL Includes: AMR500 supercharger housing, internal timing gears, pre-mounted V-pulley. Does NOT include: mounting brackets, drive belts, intake piping, fuel upgrades, or tuning tools.
- DURABLE ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION Die-cast aluminum housing with integrated cooling fins for optimal heat management. Internal components use hardened steel with specialized coating for wear resistance. Total weight: ~6kg for minimal impact on engine balance
- IMPORTANT USAGE NOTICE Mechanical supercharging may increase fuel consumption under equivalent driving conditions. This component is designed for off-road, track, or enthusiast builds. We recommend verifying local vehicle modification guidelines before installation. Professional consultation is advised to ensure proper integration with your specific engine setup.
Description
b>AMR500 Roots-Type Mechanical Supercharger Component for Custom Forced Induction Builds WHAT IS A ROOTS-TYPE SUPERCHARGER? The AMR500 features the classic Roots-type (twin-lobe rotary) design, a positive displacement air compressor invented in 1860 and now a generic term for this technology. Unlike exhaust-driven turbochargers, it connects directly to the engine crankshaft via belt, delivering instant boost without turbo lag. Best suited for low-to- mid RPM torque improvement in naturally aspirated engines. MATERIALS & ENGINEERING DETAILS Housing: Die-cast A356-T6 aluminum alloy with integrated cooling fins Lightweight design (~6kg total weight) reduces front-end engine load Superior thermal conductivity (3x steel) for efficient heat management Precision casting ensures consistent rotor clearance for optimal efficiency Internal Components: Hardened alloy steel rotors and timing gears Special anti-wear coating extends service life under high-load conditions Precision- machined lobes maintain consistent airflow across RPM range Balanced assembly minimizes vibration at operating speeds (up to 12,000 RPM) Lubrication System: Dedicated gear oil chamber (40-100ml capacity) Use 85W-90 GL-5 gear oil or manufacturer-approved synthetic fluid Check level every 50-100 operating hours; do not overfill Proper lubrication prevents gear wear and maintains sealing integrity COMPATIBILITY GUIDE Ideal Applications: 1.0L-1.6L naturally aspirated gasoline engines Motorcycle, kart, off-road, or track-focused builds Enthusiasts with access to fabrication tools and tuning expertise Marginal Applications: 1.8L-2.2L engines: Expect 2-4 psi boost; requires higher pulley ratio (2.2:1+), upgraded fuel system, and custom ECU mapping High-mileage or worn engines: Not recommended – increased cylinder pressure may accelerate wear WHAT'S INCLUDED vs. WHAT'S REQUIRED Included in This Package: AMR500 supercharger housing with integrated cooling fins Internal precision timing gears Pre-mounted V-pulley INSTALLATION REALITY CHECK: This is a performance component, not a consumer accessory. Successful integration typically requires: 1. Engine bay measurement and bracket fabrication (CAD/welding skills) 2. Precise belt alignment to prevent premature wear or failure 3. Fuel delivery calibration to match increased airflow (lean condition can cause engine damage) 4. Ignition timing adjustment to prevent detonation under boost 5. Post-install dyno tuning to verify safe air-fuel ratios PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS: Typical results with proper installation on healthy 1.0-1.6L engines: Boost Pressure: 3-6 psi (with 1.8:1-2.0:1 pulley ratio) Power Gain: 10-25% wheel horsepower (highly dependent on baseline engine state and supporting mods) Fuel Consumption: +15-30% under equivalent driving conditions Throttle Response: Noticeably improved low-RPM torque IMPORTANT USAGE NOTICE Mechanical supercharging may increase fuel consumption under equivalent driving conditions. This component is designed for off-road, track, or enthusiast builds. We recommend verifying local vehicle modification guidelines before installation. Professional consultation is advised to ensure proper integration with your specific engine setup.
