Corolla Compressor...

[St3ve]

Hi ALl,

Just a query....Does the Compressor only kick in once above a set RPM and certain % of the throttle; e.g. >3,500 RPM and > 60% throttle?

No.. its always boosting as it driven via a belt by the engine.

The Compressor supercharger Ogura TX12 has "clutch type pulley".. Means if you are just crusing your not boosting anything but if you hit the throttle the pulley will engage and you will get instant boost.

The supercharger engages at low revs and only disengages at high revs.

I posted the figures somewhere as given to me by TTE themselves.

Edit - Just found them:

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 .

So, from the horses mouth ;)
