@bcordasco depends on the motor design.

Run that from a car engine that u got lying around

Just wanted to mention that over 50/60Hz (depending upon your location) the motor HP starts to drop.

You are right, 27 amps @480 volt = 20 hp. note I said 480 volt not 440 volt over the 15 to 20 years the voltage has gone from 440 to 460 to 480 I have recorded voltage in the feild as high as 496 volt in Florida US. Its to bad the bitzer comp didnt come with head unloaders. If you are going to use the diesel There is a valve called all-in-one valve for comps runing continuously with out head unloaders it vents the discharge to atmosphere when desired pressure is met. have fun with this project

@Aussie50 good to hear, have any ideas for when the end plate will get machined
the vfd works good for testing a5 hp air comp puts out about 18 acfm @125 psig you got a hell of a lot more cfm than that

@BOBKB3NZX bearings are fine, their a plane shell type like a cam shaft bearing. the high pressure oil feed keeps it safe with the minimal belt tension i had
