Has anyone here with a TRD taken off their supercharger snout?

[LordBug]

Before I try to chase up Harrop to find out if they remember (You'd hope so!), has anyone removed the snout off the TRD supercharger, and seen what type of coupler it is inside?
I realise it's a silly thing to worry about, but I know that some chargers have a torsion coupler (has a firm spring as a part of the coupler).
Since I need to replace mine (That rattle is slowly getting worse), I'd prefer to replace like with like :)

Thanks in advance!

And a picture would probably help too I suppose :p

You might be lucky, but from memory only 1, maybe 2 people have done this. The one I can think of is no longer active on the forums.

Starting to think I'm going to have to sacrifice some SC oil and just take the snout off to check before ordering.
So far, I have: ordered cheap inspection camera of ebay only to discover that the body is too long so I can't get it past the filler hole.
Asked the guy who's been my contact about replacing my dash if he happens to have access to that info, which was an unfortunate nope.
Sent Harrop an enquiry via the contact us page on their site, just read the response, "Speak with local dealer to have unit inspected for repair".

Time to try to track down some torque specs. Guess at least I'll be better able to better determine if I also need a replacement bearing/seal kit (slight signs of oil escape around the pulley says yes). It'll also do me some good to practise with the old gasket goo.

Ok so I have thought about this and it has come to my attention that this would be a consumable part, so why isn't it part a service? And why don't they list it as a repair and quote a price?

COME ON TOYOTA, PULL YOUR FINGER OUT!!!!!!

It would appear that Toyota never bought individual supercharger components when they did the run of TRD models. They are highly unlikely to do so now as well, due to production being ceased on the vehicles.

Well that's just not good enough😕

hmm.. interesting..

has anyone got the actual model of the supecharger in our TRD Aurions.

I deal with jetskis and the kawasaki's have a eaton tvs charger in them, they appear to be smaller.. Next time I have one here I can measure it up.

I may be able to source the part from the USA suppliers if its the same as in the jetski..
