Hi everyone. I have a 1995 festiva/aspire with a 1.3 injected motor and 3 speed auto. I am thinking about installing a AMR500 supercharger on the standard motor. I am only after a bit more torque not a 1/4 mile monster. Does anyone know if this supercharger is big enough for my engine?
Cheers Aussie festiva.

First, Welcome to the site.
Second I found this on the AMR500.
It sounds like about 7.5 would be the max booost you would get from it.
The info came from superchargersunlimited.com

http://superchargersunlimited.com/specs.html

On a 1000cc four stroke, with the blower being driven 1.5:1 with the crank, it would produce approximately 9.5 psi boost.
On a 1600cc VW engine, with the blower being driven 2.1:1 with the crank, it would produce approximately 5 psi, but the engine RPM must be limited to 8000 rpm.

Additional Info:
Max blower continous speed is 16,000 RPM Before this, these were only available in Japan!
This would be a great blower for any small engine up to 1200cc ( depending on RPM ).
Over all length is 6.75", Width is 8", Height from inlet to outlet 5.5" The 4 bolt inlet & outlet flanges makes it easy to fabricate custom mounts for manifolds, and carbs. The drive pulley diameter is aprox. 3" but could be changed out to a cog belt drive quite easily. We have no info on what modifications are needed to mount this unit on your engine. You will need to be capable of doing custom fabrication

Hi again, thanks for the welcome. The shop that is selling the AMR500 is also selling a SC14 for $30 more than the little AMR500 but he told me that it would be too big for my engine. Any thoughts?
Regards Aussie festiva.

According to what I've found using Yahoo/Google search, I believe the SC12 would be closer instead of the SC14. You might even look at the Eaton M24. It's used on VW's I believe.
