spike · Post by **spike** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 12:45 pm

so there are a few post on here about endless air with a air con compressor so im gonna try and do this with a ea82 comressor.
but what should i plumb it into?? i dont really want to have a tank in the boot and under the bonnet isnt that appetising either.
ive done a search and seen some with the slide bars and bull bars with them has any one done this with a suby??
im going to look into it pics up later

mates got it on his cruiser tray and seen compressors with the carry bar as the tank. but no matter what you use you must put a pressure relief valve on it. My legacy had a small vacuum resovoir behind the left quarter panel so you could do something like that!

yeah id definatly put a relief valve on it not too sure how to make it so it was air tight though

a tank in the back would be ok but i have a wagon so yeah i dont wanna take up too much room, im thinking of building a 5 or 10 litre tank and putting about 100psi in so that a fair bit of air.

If you've got an L series the rear floor compartment could be a good spot for the tanks. I'd look at mounting the pressure relief valve outside of the cab

in that little tool box bit in the boot??
i was wondering abot it but would probably prefer that for fuel.
im thinking of the bull bar or wheel carrier.

there was a bloke on tv and he said use the spare tyre as a reservoir, he was putting 100psi in the wheel, dont think id be comfortable with that bomb in the cabin with me. tho my 5 stud space saver spare is rated for use with 65psi in it, so youd think static of 80psi would be ok about 25% over filled even 90psi is 30% over.

My brothers going to get a 20 odd litre tank possible from a scuba shop for his in his Land Cruiser. He just so happened to use a compressor from an L series. Although I don't think it was a standard one as it has both the ports on the back and all the other L series ones I've seen don't.

Theres a few pictures on this thread down the page a bit http://offroadingsubarus.com/forum/inde ... pic=669.60

any truck and trailer workshop wil have old air recievers laying around, they come in several sizes including one about scuba size. already have plumbed pipe fittings and mounting plates and are pressure tested.
