good news mate bet you cant wait to get it!!

Yes mate - glad to have tracked one down and get it ordered. - The need for boost just got stronger when my starlet turbo was driven off by the new owner this morning.

Can't believe that the cable arrived today - ordered yesterday morning - top service by TTE. Although the cost was actually 50 euros inc. ups delivery.

And now I know what you all mean by the spring on the cable !

Thanks for all the help guys. Just needing to get some time off work now to get fitting arranged. :)

I know you offered me a fitting party a while back Gord and very kind of you too. Thinking its a bit much for you to travel all the way up here -again- so was planning on making the trip down to Charlesworth. - Have also decided to get water pump/timing belt and 50k service done along with new pads and maybe discs at the same time - just looking at discs/pads now. - Have already got front pads - going to try greenstuff ones and thinking mintex on rear.

Maybe get a chance to meet you when down that way ?

Just been reading through this thread as I've just bought a TTE charger kit which is missing this cable and the bypass valve bracket that sits on the side of the throttle body.

Since Toyota pulled out of F1 TTE has been completley liquidized and Pro-Lex who bought all TTE's remaining stock (Supercharger related) only have a couple of cradles left.

Does anyone have specs/sizes/measurements etc I can use to get a new one made up? Or if anyone's car is off the road for a short while, and I could borrow the cable to use as a mock up to get one custom made?

Any help would be awesome as my charger is useless without this cable :(

Thanks!

Dan :)

Asi · September 14, 2010

theres a company who does them. i think stav may have already told you

Bounty` · September 14, 2010

If you're referring to Bemani? I've called them but the only guy who speaks english is both on holiday and no longer working there according to the two people who I spoke to :(

I'm going to call back next week and hope he's just on holiday.

Has anyone had one custom made and have any measurements etc? Ideally I could borrow someones to get some measurements etc so I can have an identicle one made?

steveboiboi · September 15, 2010

just wondering what this cable does?? from the name im going to have a complete guess and be totally wrong but heyho... does it basically disengage the supercharger?? so you can have it running or not? cheers hope the questions not to cringe worthy haha!

TTE's marketing and sales department doesn't exist anymore. But the techhies and engineers are still working in Köln. Here's their new website: http://www.toyota-motorsport.com/. I contacted them and they explained they don't deal with end customers anymore.

Dear Mr ...,

Thank you for your email.

However, I am sorry to say Toyota Motorsport GmbH cannot help you in this matter. We are no longer in a position to supply tuning products directly to customers. Please ask your Lexus dealer to contact Toyota Motorsport GmbH and order this part. Your Lexus dealer should call Toyota Motorsport GmbH on +49 2234 1823 0 in order to order the part.

I hope that will solve your problem.

Kind regards,

Toyota Motorsport GmbH"

You can't contact or deal with them directly unless you're a Lexus/Toyota dealer. I ordered a compressor bypass cable through the dealer (TeilNr. AM 27958 - cable, compressor bypass, spare - 36,34Eu). It arrived at my dealer a week later, price was only slightly higher. Still haven't fitted it though 'cause the old one isn't in too bad shape.

So for who needs TTE parts, don't give up!

Good info there mate - I am sure that will be useful - my cable needs replaced for the new owner of the charger.

Bounty` · February 15, 2011

AWESOME!

thanks dude....that'll make life alot easier!

Out of interest, how much did you pay?

Bounty` · February 15, 2011

Which dealer did you order this from mate, spoken to 6 dealers down here and not a single one has a clue about ordering from there, and they all refused to call the number for Toyota Motorsport and order it :(

I'll just order from the same dealer you did and get them to courier it to me :)

Dimitris Papamichail · February 15, 2011

You could also contact Bemani since they provide supercharger parts for ex TTE kompressor units

Bounty` · February 17, 2011

I've contacted Bemani, and yes I am able to get hold of this cable, but I've been quoted £225 for two cables and two brackets!!!

To the guy from Belgium: would you be willing to purchase two bypass cables and brackets from the Lexus/Toyota dealer that you got yours from and send them over to me? I will of course pay all shipping costs, and include a small fee for your trouble :)

Please let me know if this is possible.

Hi,
Not sure if this forum is the right place to be asking this question, or if Oedipus is still a member.
The inner cable piece of the bypass cable on my car has broken.
My plan is to get a new inner cable made by a brake and accelerator cable specialist.

So I need to know the length of the inner cable from centre to centre of the two end pivots.

Looking forward to some assistance with this as the fuel consumption without the charger working is horrendous.

Cheers

Jamie45 · May 13, 2019

Contacted Bemani and was given the length of the cable as 1,220mm centre to centre of the two pivots on the ends of the cable.

Spoke to them by phone from NZ and got the detail there and then.

Very pleased to find the link with Bemani on this forum.

Cheers
