Compressor Dyno And Track Weekend

[chrisio]

I went to my local dealer today who was quite bemused by my request and didn't quite understand the problem ;)

Anyway, when I had explained again about the normal/super unleaded quirk he did an ECU reset (not reflash as I had wrongly thought) to put the car back to how it left the factory.

I think I have to put a few miles on the car now so it 're-learns'.

Coincidentally, when I got home there was a very nice e-mail from TTE in Germany

It makes interesting reading, especially the tech bits in red.

Here it is....

Thank you very much for your Mail which we would like to answer as follows.

With regard to the Corolla Compressor, TOYOTA Motorsport provided development and engineering support to TOYOTA Motor Corporation to design the aforementioned Corolla model .

All customer service activities are coordinated via TOYOTA Motor Europe, their individual national importers and the according dealer network .

As it is quite difficult to judge about your findings without having the chance to do certain investigations on your vehicle we would like to propose

that all necessary checks should be done at your local TOYOTA dealer.

We therefore have transfered your request to Toyota Motor Europe who already contacted TOYOTA GB´s Product Technical Support Dptm., where all relevant technical information are available.

We are very much confident that your dealer will get the necessary technical explanation and support from there.

Additionally I would like to take the opportunity to answer your techncal question as well.

The supercharger clutch engages related to some parameters ( see below ) and stays engaged within the whole rev. range.

1. Coolant temperature > 28°C

2. Vehicle speed > 6 Km/H

3. Throttle blade angle > 10° .......

The boost pressure starts from slightly below 0,3 bar, gets it´s peak of appr. 0,56 bar at around 5500 revs and decreases down to appr. 0,38 bar .

We hope that our information is of assistance for you and hope that a satisfactory solution will be found quickly.

If you have any further question, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
