Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Installed them today, endless air eat your heart out.....Pumped up a 35" from 10psi to 35psi in 1 min.

That's impressive, but is it really quicker than endless air? I reckon my York would match that at around 3000rpm engine speed, easy.

not knocking your setup - it looks like a really nice setup for an electric compressor.

Steve.

I was looking at endless but the bracket alone was going to cost $350. This whole setup cost me $200 and it pumps simular volume of air.

Yeah, no worries. The bracket pricing for Endless can be a show stopper for some.

Steve.

You can build your own endless air setup for less than $300 easy

But one question, how will your carpet handle the heat, those things get DAMN hot after doing 4 large tyres, too hot to touch almost

I like that air tank. Looks much nicer then the 15L GMC Bunning special I was going to run. Where did you get it and what price?

Old camping gas bottle l had lying around.

I noticed the piston got warm but l didnt check the bracket. If needed l will put a plate between the floor and bracket.

I would suggest a pair of 'one way valves'. One in each compressors outlet so that if one dies the good one doesn't lose all its air through the dead one.
All in all it looks like a very efficient setup.

the grounding / 12 volt + needs work tho .. no good for river xings

Just watch that blue hose, using my comps flat out the blue hose can soften once they get really hot, yours might not do that, their is some red hose that solved my problem, and very near the same cost.

I bet it's loud in that cabin

I am considering the same thing with two big boss units, but thats goin to cost $$$

Very impressive non the less. Did you use a stopwatch to get the time of 1 minute?

Awesome stuff. I'm in the market for a compressor at the moment as I can't do endless on my engine. Been looking at the BOSS stuff too but there's lots of good and bad reports on them. Do you have the dimensions on the Typhoon? I reckon I've got the perfect spot for 2 of them if I'm estimating correctly from the pics. What did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking?

Howd you do the whole setup for $200???

Where do you get the compressors from at that price..?

They are on ebay all the time, picked the right time to bid ex: sunday arvo/night and l got mine for $80ea. Had the tank already and $40 in fittings from Pirtec. My local 4x4 store sell the compressors for $200ea.

so these are infact imitation pumps

Here's a pump that should flog the ass of an endless setup. www.oasisoffroad.com

U.S military approved...can your pump run a 1/2" rattle gun straight from the pump? WITHOUT A TANK????

$1100(USD) for the bottom of the range.

Yeah they are expensive but you do get what you pay for. Basically a 12v pump with 240v performance. Still, each to thier own.

Come to think of it what are two of the new ARB pumps worth?

I've got a boss with a 9L tank and it pumps my 37s from 14 to 40psi in 6 minutes per tyre. It used to take about the same time with the airline at the garage. It is great but is still not as fast as a good endless air setup though.

I must admit, I feel the need to spend $1500+ on a compressor to used few times a yr, at about 1% of its duty cycle..

Yeah this is the issue. No doubt its an excellent compressor but its use doesn't warrant the expense.

Nelso, 6 minutes each tyre sounds excessive. I'd hate to spend close to half an hour just inflating my tyres. Mine are only 35s and probably wouldnt take as long though. I'm pissed off I can't run endless air on my new donk, t worked beautifully on my old one, took about 2 to 3 minutes to go from 6 to 40 each tyre. I'd love to get that speed or close to it from a well setup yet relatively inexpensive 12V setup. I already have the tank and switches, etc. Just need a compressor (or 2).

No need to be an ass-clown

Dad just ordered one for the race car trailer. Why??? Because they are piss ant small compared to the 240v compressor we were going to use and the genset wasn't capable to run a big 240v, hence we went for the Oasis compressor, same performance, a third of the space used AND it free's up the generator for lights and other light duty tools.

There are also engineering companys up here fitting them under their field service utes to save space in the trays without compromising tool performance. This I will also be doing to my ute next year for the same reasons.

But hey, complain and be a smart ass if you want.

is it just me or does that look like a winch type motor attached to a york style aircon compressor?

i reckon if you were handy you could have one for less than $1100 USD.

Yep, they started out as a starter motor into a york. They look a bit more refined than that now, but that's the idea.

Yes, you can build one yourself pretty easily, with wrecker parts.

Warning, though, while they don't use any more power per task than a smaller compressor, they need a pretty heavy duty electrical set up if you expect to air up lots of tyres etc - I recall their peak load is something like 200A.

There is a BIG difference in time between 35s and 37s on 15x10 inch rims. You wouldn't think they would be that different but the 37s hold a ridiculous amount of air! It used to take the ARB about 15 min per tyre to get them to 20psi so I could drive to the garage to spend another 20 minutes to do the rest.

We should test it on someones 35 up at TuffTruck this weekend and post up how it goes next week.
