Like it says above I am looking for an A/C compressor for a 1HD-FT so I can keep my wife happy!
The clutch seized and broke off parts of the snap ring groove in the aluminum housing so I need a complete assembly, cannot just replace the clutch assembly.
Hoping I can get one in north America, lots on Ebay australia but nobody wants to ship so far. If nothing else I will get a relative over there to air mail me one.
 
Because they never came with the diesel engine in the States, I don't have a way to look up what compressor came on that engine. Do you have any part numbers and/or pic's of the compressor? There should be a tag on the back of the compressor with the Denso part #.
 
If you would like to replace the whole compressor assembly, I would recommend that you upgrade to a later Denso model off the Mazda MPV ('94-'95 models) and it is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the 1HDT (check compatibility with 1HDTFT though!). I picked one up from my local salvage yard but didn't install it yet since my compressor still working fine. Waiting for it to die before I install the newer one.
 
I'm almost 100% positive it's the same compressor as the 1FZFE.
 
I have a compressor if you need one. it came off my 97 1fzj80. A/c makes me sick in any car so when I had to work on my oil pump seal I just removed it. It is in good shape still in the shop in a box.
 
It's not the same as the 1FZFE. The gas motors used a 10PA17C, the Denso # in post 3 is for a 10PA15L, which I'm finding to be a rare one, at least here in the States. Long nosecone with extended offset for the belt. Still searching...

And not the same as the 1HD-T either, same pulley same body but short on the nose cone.

Yours doesn't have the long nosecone :confused: Can you post some pic's? Also, measure from the center of the groove to the head of the thru-bolt on the compressor body. If it's not a 10PA15L and it's just a 10PA15C, that opens up much more potential for finding a match.

must be a misunderstanding in there, my does have the long nose cone which is the difference from the 1HD-T. I have been looking around and it may be that the 1998-2000 Toyota RAV4 has the same compressor with a different pulley... Are you able to confirm if this is true?
 
I've only been able to find the following applications using the 10PA15L, and they all have serpentine pulleys:

Rav4 1998-2000
T100 V-6 1994-1998
Tacoma V-6 1995-2004
Tundra V-6 2003-2004

If your clutch is in good shape, you could get one of these compressors and swap the clutch. The Rav4 compressor has a speed sensor in it, so I'd use one of the others. We stock them both, MUD price is $248.77.
 
The clutch is what seized and took out the nose cone of the compressor so I need a clutch as well, if the clutch / pulley is the same as a 1hd-t I can get that. Anybody know if that part is the same?
 
Did this ever come to a conclusion? Did you find a source for these compressors?
cheers, thanks

Has anyone found a source for a Denso 10PA15L with a V-belt pulley in North America?

I bought a Denso 10PA15L off Rockauto for my 1HD-FT only to realize it was for grooved belts, not V belts. Unfortunately my old clutch and pulley bearing are shredded so I can’t swap then over.

You can buy the clutch/mag/pulley separately.

Took me a bit but this is what I got around to doing as part of my AC refresh. I bought the following, and swapped the clutch/mag/pulley on:
  • Denso 10PA15L
  • clutch/mag/pulley 88410-22480
  • new snap rings 90099-07125 and 90099-07114
  • a couple of shim kits 88335-14020
I ended up using all three shims from one kit, and the middle size from a second kit. This just created enough spacing such that the clutch wasn't dragging. The FSM says should aim for 0.5mm spacing... I did not end up verifying that with a feeler gauge. But it works great and I have cold AC!
