Thanks mate, will look into those options.

Ive a problem with a Toyota autobox whereby its changing up thru the gear too soon. The only way i can explain it is that its shifting up at around 4.5K rpm instead of revving upto 6K rpm at WOT. Also, it wont kick down from 4th to 3rd gear if i plant my foot down. This basically make the car slower during acceleration as it doesnt stay in gear long enough to benifit from higher rpm or the VVTi for that matter!

Ive check the fluids, will be changing it soon cos ive simply run out of ideas. Ive been told to change the MAF as the shift points can be load related, still no good. Ive checked the TPS, its within tolerances. What else can cause the shift points to change?

Got the ATF sorted, it was due to an incompetant parts guy who sold me the wrong stuff in the first place, the guy i seen today knew of the Type T-IV and knew it was different to what i had been given.

Is there any guides on the board concerning AT Flush proceedure? I wanna make sure i get every last bit of fluid out and fresh stuff in.

brilliant! thanks mate, will print this off and shove it..... i mean show it to them. :)

yeah, its the same as the 08886-81015 1 litre bottle i got today, they have no info on the bottle, its whats on the invoice that worries me.

sorry to dig up an old thread, but i thought it was relavant for people like me who are having problems with this Type T-IV fluid.

I contact my toyota dealer for some T-IV and they gave me 08886-81015 which is stated as DEXTRON III which i queried there and then, but without proof, i just paid and left.

Now according to this http://www.lexusclub.co.uk/gearboxoil.pdf It STATES that vehicles specified with Type T-IV CAN NOT use DEXTRON III ...........

Ive take the part number from the bulletin, given it to them and they tell me is superceeded by 08886-82025 (which has been mentioned here by Colinbarber) and as stated is known to Toyota as PAS fluid.

Also 08886-81015 (which cleverdick mentioned) from post #2 is also superceeded by 08886-82025 again PAS Fluid.

Can anyone confirm that i have the right to go back to toyota, show them this info and say they have infact given me the wrong fluid? Also, anyone running with the PAS Fluid and is it correct?

I got a responce from Blitz after contacting Ogura.

"Dear Kevin,

My Name is Tomas from Blitz Japan. We had a request from Ogura if we could

help you out.

First, you are right that Ogura supply's the supercharger and we design the

specific kits using Ogura's super charger.

As I mentioned, we design the kit specifically for a typical vehicle model,

test it thoroughly and start mass production. As a result, we do not have

different pulley sizes in our product line to fulfill your request. We wish

we could help you out but I'm afraid that it is over our power.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Tomas Kasari

Blitz Co., Ltd"

So naturally, ive emailed back to do some more digging, basically about the other pulleys on the other kits, aswell as converting to a solid pulley.

dont know how much boost like, but from previous experiences, 7 psi, 8 or higher psi and your pushing your luck on a high compression engine.

nah mine 4 groove, as the belts 4 rib.

i think ive have it sussed, if i undo the bolt, the front cover should extract out, this is the bit that is fixed to the shaft via a keyway, then the rest comes off in turn.

ok, i can take a hint :)

yeah, just been looking at this

http://www.oguraclutch.co.jp/english/e_pro...r/car-air_1.htm

well, i think we will need to remove the pulley to find out the various info, ie the shaft diameter/keyway etc. Still not looking forward to doing it.

well, its was a woman i spoke to..................... say no more!

why dont you give it a go?

i even asked if there were any other ogura automotive distributors in the UK?............ i think that one was too hard.

sh!t transak dont do the automotive side of ogura, they only do industrial!

ive managed to find some contact details for the UK

www.transak.co.uk and i am contacting them to see if they can get me a clutch pulley, it does say custom applications :)

ive just noticed on that picture of those 2 pulleys, does your nut on the alt shaft sit on the surface? or like mine which sits inside the pulley? mine goes in quite deep, well actually 44mm deep.

ok, comnpare my drive pulley to yours and see how much difference there is initially.

(from left to right, crank belt on left, SC belt on right)

Blue Arrows - This is the measurement from the end of the pulley into the face inside the pulley where the nut bolts onto the surface. I took the measurement at one side as the nut would be in the way in the centre.

Green Arrows - This is the outter lip where its slightly taller than the ribs where the belts sit on.

Red Arrows - I managed to get the calipers around the whole pulley but this includes the width of the belts aswell, i cant remove the belt at this point to get an actual reading.

Pink Arrows - This again is the outter lip measurement of the inner pulley, cant get near the ribs.

Yellow Arrows - The width of each pulley, totaling approx 50mm.

only problem is, i think my pulley will be totally different in size, dimension possibly even offset from the alt shaft. There is one way to find out tho, can you take a few quick measurements for me of your drive pulleys, ill do the same in a mo and draw it up on a jpeg.

either way, whatever we use, the clutch pulley will have to come off for closer inspection and to find out the how and what fitting the SC shaft uses.

is that a hint for me to have a go at disassembling :duh: ?

doesnt look that bad to be honest, good find, where did you get it from?

always me.........

From what ive seen close up, the pulley part where the belt sits on is just a ring, as the outter larger part of the pulley is whats connected to the SC shaft. Its possible to make that ring in a reduced size, what size depends on how thick is it to begin with. But there also the possiblility of the inside of the ring having some sort of tooth/rack pinion type of getup, or how else does the shaft lock into the outer ring...........

all complicated stuff.

wonder if Blitz UK have any schematics?

Good work on calling them though :)

←

aye, ive got International Lo Call :D

yeah, i dont fancy stripping mine down to get the pulley dimensions myself, still working on it. Havent fully worked up the courage to dismantle the clutch pulley to see how it works, for fear of not being able to put it back on! But thought about seeing if something could be done with that.

Mr Singh - Bad News........

i got fed up and eventually decided to ring Blitz NA, ive just got off the phone with them and this is the crack.....

they dont have any kits instock to measure, but even if they did, they wouldnt be able to get just a pulley. You would have to buy a full kit!! So even when it comes to warranty, they would just change the whole compressor. He doesnt think Blitz Japan even build the pulley, they buy them in fitted, and there no way to find out who makes the pulley unless we can contact Japan (which i doubt) The guy couldnt even think of another system which uses a clutch type pulley.......

so our final options are.........

to collectively pester Blitz UK and get them onto Japan for more info and where this pulley originates from and take it up with them

or

have the twin drive pulley CNC'd

im up for whatever, let me know.

just a quick update,

havent heard a sausage back for BlitzNA so have emailed them again trying a different approach, perhaps my question was too difficult!

Ive also emailed Blitz AU, see if they have kits.

in theory thou, the drive belt, ie, crank to alt, and alt to sc pulley, wouldnt change speed, its just purely that the sc pulley has a smaller circumfrance so it spins faster using the same amount of revolutions from the drive belt, what could cause the increase in wear on the alt? obviously this has to be considered cos you dont wanna be changing alts every so often.

oh and just to add, listening out for DET is obviously a good thing to do, but fueling can be corrected using something like a SAFC or Blitz R-FIT. As it stands, i know my car runs rich anyways, as my MOT tester told me last month! im also installing a A/F gauge.
