squiffy Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Mine is dead so I'm on the hunt for a (known working) compressor complete with the pulley I have a GTE if they are different? let me know what you have and how much you want for it, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I really wouldn't recommend fitting a 25 year old replacement out of choice. The swash plate style of compressor is highly loaded with ball sockets on the piston rods that could have seen a lot of duty over 25 years. The OE Denso compressors are still available and last time I looked were around the US$250 mark which means you could land a new one from a US supplier for probably for around £300 if the more local Toyota UK or TCB couldn't get near to that kind of price.

mwilkinson Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 The denso part number for a new A/C pump is 471-1205. Denso website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Thank you, I've picked up one from RockAuto along with an A/C drier. I also managed to get a Denso condenser from eBay (new). I took a bit of cross referencing Toyota part numbers to Denso part numbers but I got there in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Do you mind me asking how much you paid for both the compressor and drier? I've just bought a new evaporator and have a new condensor I bought a few years back before the supply woes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Sure, it was £244.32 inc postage. I'm sure that import taxes will hike that up a fair bit though. I'm starting to think I should have bought an evaporator as well while I think of it. I don't really know all the components of an A/C system so I just bought what I thought it needed.

Paulie Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I just bought a new evaporator core as well......I should have bought it at the same time as the other bits. Knowing my luck, I'll have the compressor, drier and condenser replaced then the evaporator will go south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 that compressor looks wrong? the lhd and rhd are different..... that pic on rock auto looks different to rhd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Oh dear. I may have made a mistake in that case. I think others here have bought these and they’ve fitted, or maybe I misread. I checked with Toyota UK for the part numbers and then did the same with a US dealer to see if the part numbers were the same. They did appear to be identical which, given that part numbers are unique, gave me the impression that the compressor was the same for UK and US cars. I then checked that the Denso units claimed figment with the original Toyota part number. All seemed to check out. Toyota Part - 88320-14600 (Both US and UK). Both were replaced for same number with -84 at the end to denote ‘remanufactured’ (so Jim at Bridgend Toyota explained). I guess I shall have to see what arrives and if they can be fitted. If not, I’ll have a bit of a bumper sale on eBay I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Has anyone bought the Denso compressor Denso Part - 471-1205 and fitted it on their RHD car? We’re there any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 judging by that part number, its for a lhd compressor so as far as im aware its different... if you look at where the pipes connect to it, its completely wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I cannot see why there would be a difference RHD to LHD seeing the engine ancillary configuration is the same. The US and Jspec part numbers are 88320-14600. There might be a change between pre and post facelift with the port configuration but I've always been lazy and just looked at 1993-1996 parts as that is the car I own. So if you have a 93-96 I'd guess you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12aak Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I've just had a look and Keron's right but I think it's just the top plate that's different between LHD and RHD. In this US forum post, someone talks about how a (LHD) Denso 471-1205 fit their JDM Supra perfectly, but all they needed to do was swap over the RHD top plate, so I think you'll be fine as long as you still have your old plate.

Paulie Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi chaps, Hmmmm, I guess we'll see what happens when mine arrives. I did ping a message to one of our members who ordered one last year and he says that his was a 100% fit. I'll let my chap know that he may need to swap the top plate out. I hope it is an easy mod. 1 hour ago, rider said: I cannot see why there would be a difference RHD to LHD seeing the engine ancillary configuration is the same.

If it's all wrong, I may need to buy one from Keron :-). Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, just my luck . Well, I'll keep you posted with what arrives and what kind of swap it is. A straight swap, a change of top plate or no swap at all. I have a reconditioned one arriving at my local Toyota dealer in 1 week (my dealer is sound, he'll order just so I can have a look at the part and then return it if I don't want it). However, judging from pics in the link to the US forum way up in the post, it may end up being exactly the same as the one I just bought from Rock Auto. My dealer said there were a few available, but only in Europe, which may mean it's for a RHD car and even then may need a top-plate swap. Confused? I certainly am......

Hi Keron, You might want to get in the ones from Rock Auto. Mine arrived last night after ordering on Saturday. The plate on the compressor is a 'travelling plate', intended to keep oil in the unit. The instructions state to take the plate from the old, put onto the new and fit. It does seem the same compressor. It also comes with new gaskets / seals to put the old plate onto the new compressor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
