3.4L TRD Supercharger rebuild

Strange.. I’m running into a metal snap ring looking thing that’s stopping me from pulling it off

 

Rotate that ring a little farther and you'll get the other snap ring eye. You have to open that ring up to release the inner part.

 

Or spin the housing to show both ring holes. It will pull right off

 

Just needed a vice for the extra pair of hands.. thanks again

 

So where's everyone getting there nose cone rebuild kits now?

 

If anyone wants a brand-new Gates Micro-V




$14 Gates K040620 Belt
K040620 belt… gates says it fits the 5vz-fe “supercharger”… I assume the TRD, but double check…
I accidentally bought it when doing accessory belts on my 1997 4Runner and can’t return it.
Maybe this is my sign to boost the daily too

Just pay shipping and it’s yours!

 

i will take it off your hands!!

If anyone is in the orange county CA or Inland Empire area... price is free for local pick up!
Otherwise it looks to be about $14 to ship it... a wash with Amazon ):

 

Oh where in orange county

 

ebay has a few kits, i rebuild these TRD superchargers and the cost has gone up almost 4x for parts alone.

 

Why has the price gone up so much?

 

Idk im paying like 17 bucks for a combo meal now. Just doesnt make sense

 

I'm looking for some input on rebuild intervals and diagnosing when a supercharger is ready to be rebuilt. This is the second supercharged 1st gen I've had. All I had to do on the previous one was change the nose cone oil.
When I bought this truck I was pretty certain it was due for a rebuild and promptly ordered a rebuild kit. It has parts needed to rebuild everything but the rotor pack.
From the video below, would you say the supercharger is due for a rebuild? It seems a little on the noisy side at idle to me. No strange noises at higher RPM, and it's able to hit 6 PSI max boost. I haven't removed the belt to check for play in the nose cone yet. No idea how long the S/C has been on the truck. The PO owned it since 2008 when it was at around 100k miles; he never even changed the oil in the nose cone and it's at 205k now.
Second, if it's due for a rebuild is it dumb to rebuild everything but the rotor pack? My plan would be to send the rotor pack in to a shop so they get re-timed properly and do the rest myself if it's necessary to do that as well.

These guys have been used for 2nd gen supercharger mods. I'm sure they would be more than capable of doing what you want/need

Does anyone have a current parts list to rebuild the grey supercharger?

 

What part are u looking for

 

I am close to listing my sc just need time to finish it this weekend.getting parts now a days is ridiculous

 

Anything that is apart of the full rebuild.

 

Just finished my rebuild, most parts can be found on ebay. Others you can try urd or jonbonperformance.

 

Is there a seller/kit you’d recommend? There’s a quite a few sellers with varying prices.
