Re: Best 12v air compressor?

WHAT? :D

Even to run my boss compressor the recommended way cost over $200 in wires and switches. A customer could have 2x endless airs (if there is room on the engine) for less than 2/3 price and pump twice the cfm.

Cant wait to see the next developments....due for beers

No to mention the extra noise! Unless the the electric compressor noise we hear is the piston?

Re: Best 12v air compressor?

Wouldn't the $1900 price tag make you time rich to develop an endless air bracket?

The wiring and switching would be a few hundred $ alone to run what you are planning on.

Re: cost of high powered td42

If its power your after petrol will be your answer, don't be fooled into thinking diesels are better on fuel when there pushed to produce power. And you'll make more power with the petrol.

Mine makes 209.1rwkw and 690nm and still gets 12-12.5lt/100km.
