I have an AMR300 small supercharger on my Predator 670cc V-Twin. See it running on YouTube:

The same type of setup would work on any similar small engine as well. Half VW, 2A042, 4A032, Kohler CH27, Honda GX690, etc. For a 1600cc VW or 4A084 I would use an AMR500. All stock engine, just a v-belt pulley on the flywheel and Mikuni carb on the supercharger and a custom intake manifold. Since it is not easy to increase the displacement with more cost and more work, the supercharger is a simple and low cost way to go. $300 for a used AMR300 from Japan. The AMR300 weighs 7 lbs.
A 1600 VW longblock and a used supercharger could be a 50hp stock engine boosted to 70+hp with 10psi of boost with a used AMR500 supercharger from Japan. This is a very low cost combination that would power many experimental and Light Sport Aircraft. I would love to build one and run it on my test bench, only waiting for the $$
