hey guys,
just wanted to know if any1 has been able to remove the sc from a 4AGZE without taking the engine out of the car??
i have taken everything off, my only problem is that i cant remove the main pivot bolt at the bottom of the sc because the engine mount is in the way.
am i just going to have to take the engine out or is there an easier way around this.
btw. 4AGZE, rwd, ke35
thanks

you'd have to get an engine crane and unbolt that engine mount to remove that cradle.
I removed my supercharger without having to take that cradle off cuz my idler pulley needs it. So it worked well
we spent about 3 hours removing the SC12 - pretty easy and straighforward, just work from the top down, and be careful not to break the knock sensor/any other sensors in there
easy as

just get a jack and some blocks under the motor and support it when you take the engine mount out, remember to slip the bolt in through the other way when you reinstall it.
3 hours? your mad it takes 20 mins to do in an aw11

ahhh yeh...knock sensor..
had to get a new one when i put my worked head on...
IF by any chance you break the weak as a straw like, plastic that it is held together with, 7MGTE's have the same knock sensor, and it is more metal than plastic..
