Outer Limits 4x4 Board

drunkenperformance, can you tell me how you did the conversion?

my old man is a car air conditioning mechanic, so i've got thousands of these compressors sitting around the shed, but how would i go about makin them to pump air only and not oil as well?

Moved this over from 'For Sale'.

have you got a york one from an old volvo? if you have one of these ill show you how its done

Just remember to look for the 210 model not the 206 or 209....

Take a look here.

some useful info.

i'm sure there would be a york in there somewhere..finding it would be the problem :wink:

i'll have a talk to my old man later when he gets home to see if he can dig one up.

dude if ya old boy is a auto air mech then he should know wot 2 do 2 run any compressor without it pumpin oil........

just run the output line into an oil seperator then 2 ya tank or hose or wotever and then run a line from the oil seperator 2 the inlet side of the compressor (after the filter that u should have on the inlet)

just had a look through some of those sites and noticed that if i wanted to use a oem compressor, id have to get an air tool oiler. i've never seen these things before, does anyone know how much they're worth? and obviously you'd have to fill it with oil ever so often?

cheers hypo, i'll have to see what he can do

im an air con tech 2 man but its easy as

York 210s go for $50 all day, and when you plug the oil gallery they don't need/use/dump any oil. They also push a sh!tload of air, like enough to run a rattle gun. The R209s are almost as good.

XD (and maybe XE and XF) Falcons run these pumps, but they are generally badged as 'Motorcraft'. Same pump though. Some Older Falcons run Yorks. I got two Yorks from Volvos - a 209 and a 210. $90 for both.

cheers 2car, that narrowed the search down heaps

No problemo.

I found the link to the oil fix page too.

spoke to my old man a while ago and he reckons the best way to go would be to get a nippon denso compressor that would be much more efficient than the york compressors. and he said that you could either drip feed oil into them, or just hit em with a bit of oil everynow and then if you weren't using them constantly.

im using a nippon denso i found a small tool oiler at super cheap auto (in qld).have a look in repco or somewhere.
