What other car has the same A/C compressor as the Gen II (1991) MR2 Turbo??
i've heard that the 5S-FE one is the same? like from camry?
anyone confirm or shoot down this theory as im having trouble finding a "genuine" item
Cheeers

I can look at an EPC tomorrow but I reckon someone will beat me with an answer before then.
Can you see the existing part number on the thing ?
I doubt its the same as the Camry simply because of two things, the huge cabin space of a Camry compared to a MR2, and the fact that the Camry is put together here in OZ, while the MR2 is 100% JDM "no boosheet".

its an absolute nightmare to get a good look at it, my mates a mechanic and im pretty handy with tools (not like that ya dirty bastards  ) and he reackons it would take atleast a day for us to take it out and put it back. Its leaking refridgerent and needs a rebuild, but i'd like to try and score a "backup" if i need to scavenge any parts to aide the rebuild
but the car is a SW20 early Jan 1991 and turbo of course  but if you could have a quick squizz at the EPC that would be great.
i actually saw the thing about the camry on the mr2oc.com forum which is US based and there was a thread that mentioned the compressor was the same as on a 5S-FE, i dunno what cars got the 5s in the states but i thought here the 5S's were in the SV21 camrys?? i really have no idea, just going on lots things that i've seen heard around these and other forums
Salisbury toyota wanted $770 for labour + $595 for a rebuilt compressor + $100 odd for receiver dryer and dye and incedentals which i thought was insanely expensive so i've decided to do the job myself. Speaking with an auto elect who specialises in A/C's he reackons that its a common fault on the MR2 turbos, just too much heat and it kills the seals in the compressor, but he thinks if its only seals they can be replaced cheaply.
Thanks for any help.

Replacing the seals is the cheapest and best option in any event.
Funnily enough, the SW20 MR2 was imported into the USA with a 5S-FE engine as well, so that may be where the comp. compatibility reference comes from.
The 5S-FE is found in the 182 and 202 series Celica's, and the SD, SDV 10 and 20 series Camry's, to name a couple of common ones. My EPC will not show Aust. production part numbers so whatever I can come up with will be an oversea's model.

The EPC shows the SW20 A/C Comp. as part number 88320 - 17090, later superceded by 88320 - 17091.
Bad news is that no other model on the EPC shares that A/C comp.
If I were you I would quote those numbers to the Part Dept at your local Toyota dealer and see what they can tell you.
If they are useless then call NipponDenso Aust, ask for the tech. department and go from there.
