so you could have done the same thing with your stock ac compressor right???

[DeathBlade556]

Yes you could use the stock compressor but it is less effceint and will most likely run out of oil at some point and will freeze up.

Without guys like you, America would have not been as industrious as we once were. Thank You. I have a 1995 Wrangler 2.5L, I would like to do this build, would you help me by building the mounting plate for the compressor and CS-144 for me? I have no problems with paying you for it.

@19sxfr

Except Bob Villa has never actually used an air tool in his life.

Where did you get the twin cylinder compressor head?

[JcXtreme72]

@mrnockers I wired my main circuit cut off switch into the key switch so I wouldn't have to remember. I also have a switch in cab that keeps the compressor off when I'm driving.

[mrnockers]

on your air system i would recomend installing a cut off switch in your cab that you can open the circuit to your ac clutch , because if your air sytem has a slow leak somehwere it will activate the cut off switch wich will engage/ power the ac clutch wich could drain your battery leaving you with a possible dead battery somewhere. ..

@DeathBlade556 Hey so I'm thinking of getting a piston-style air conditioning compressor for my car and converting it to a air compressor. I've heard scroll-type sucks. With the inline oiler, I'm thinking of just adding 2 ounces of oil into the inlet for each hour it runs and hope that's enough. What is a good oil/water separator? I need to find a good one to ensure that no oil will get into the tank. Thanks!

What is the CFM?

[tehmiscbrah]

always thread the lug nut on before hitting it with an impact. Otherwise, you could cross thread it at super speed........
