Air up comparo. Is it as good as the seller suggests?

[ISUZUROVER]

72lpm = 2.5cfm

A York like Wooders and I have is rated at 4cfm at 1200 rpm (compressor not engine) and 90 psi. The york can get up to about 10cfm at 3000rpm.

If all you are doing is inflating tyres then a simple system without a tank is fine.

[Wooders]

Actually we run the 210 model which puts out closer to 9cfm
Although we use it to power the TJ's airbags, I would happy fit one just tp airup & run air tools....Infact I plan to fit one to my ute just for that purpose

I would use a circuit breaker if you keep blowing fuses.
If you're using the blade type fuses they dont seem to be able
to take the heat buildup of continuous high currents.

I used a 50 amp circuit breaker.

What sort of price does a York go for Wooders?

Just trying to work out if it's more cost effective going an electric compressor or dumping the aircond and rigging up a York or similar (tanked of course )

[Hamo]

I got mine in, just.




I couldn't get any 35A fuses, had to settle for a 5-Pack of 30A's. I've been through 2 already, just testing for leaks etc. (35A is what's recommended)
They seem to blow on extended runs - say from empty tank.

Narva make the 35 amp circuit breaker but they are hard to find
Your best of ordering one from someone like repco or autopro

[Reddo]

what about getting a Cbreaker off a later model car, eg, dunnydoor?

York may be hard to come by, and more difficult to fit than a Sanden - my view anyway.

[QIKAZZ]

I used one of these http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SZ2060 and one of these http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SF1974

a slightly cheaper option on the fuse holder would be http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SZ2065

or if you wanted a circuit breaker you could use this, but im not sure if its starting to get a bit high its 60A http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SZ6000

Either way you should be able to get all of these parts at any Jarcar outlet.

It shouldn't be that hard,

I just went to the local auto parts store and bought a 40A
circuit breaker for I think $20 and soldered it in place
where the blade fuse holder was.
The auto resetting types are convenient to use and
last forever, it doesnt matter if the fuse current isn't
exactly the same because you're really only guarding
against shorts anyway.

Yorks are easy to find.
You can get them from about $50 at most wrecking yards, and reconditioned from about $150.
They were widely used in V8 Falcons, Volvo's and Valiants of the 1980's vintage ... Or we can sell you a new one at around $1k
There are 3 different models - it's the 210 which has the largest displacement and therefore CFM - but they are all good.
Mounting to get drive isn't difficult - but having the room to doso is more often the problem fro people.
But the York is definately the premier option.

I found an old 6cyl xd falcon wago in the bush and ripped the york off it, also scored a huge tranny cooler aswell. Just have a look around, there everywhere.

I thought about using a york BUT they take up to much room in the engine bay Then you have to make up a mounting bracket
Find/buy a twin pully harmonic ballancer (for a 2f toyota approx $250)
and then you can only use it with the motor running
My compressor is wired up to my 2nd battery and is mounted & hidden well away from the engine bay

Actually with most of the eletric compressors you want the motor running anyhow.....Just listen to the speed difference when the enegine is/isn't running and you'll see what a draw even a little ARB has and the benefits of having the engine running

With a full tank of pressure ready to go, it takes me 108 seconds to fill the first tyre, from 0 psi to 20psi, the tyres are 35" Simex`s.

Tested mine with a rattle gun yesterday and it had no problems keeping up
Changed all 4 wheels in less than 5 mins with the help of my son on the gararge jack
