Accuair's NEW VX-4 4-Path Valve Manifold

[@lincolnaddict]

Nice man. Jason ODB here. I'll be needing one soon. I'll def hit you up!

[@paulolindo6988]

I bought the VX4 from you a long time ago. I'm thinking about switching to half inch air lines because I want the car to raise up quicker. what manifold is good.

[@twistedimages405]

If you want 1/2” lines and fast response, no manifold is going to give you what you want. The style of valve just doesn’t lend itself to high flow rates. It’s more work to set up, but running individual diaphragm valves is where it’s at for speed- if you haven’t seen my video with the ‘61 wagon take a look at what’s possible. And of course you can slow it down a bit from there if you don’t want it THAT fast!

@@paulolindo6988 these valves right here: www.twistedimages.com/12-Air-Valve_p_337.html You’ll need 8 of them, along with a big bag of fittings, to handle the same functions as your VX4. But they move a TON of air and will get you up and down fast.

@@twistedimages405 can you wire lowrider switches to them?

[@twistedimages405]

@@paulolindo6988 the wiring configuration is a bit different, but you can definitely use toggle switches with either valve setup. Here’s a link to our switch panel: www.twistedimages.com/Stainless-Steel-Toggle-Switch-Panel_p_1488.html

What the different between 2 corner and 4 corner??

[@twistedimages405]

The 2 corner (VX-2) has a single input and two outputs to your air bags. The VX-4 is a 4 corner manifold and controls four separate air bags.

What size ports are on vx4? Im in need of something similar. Yet im running 1/2 lines

[@twistedimages405]

The VX4 has 3/8" fittings. If you don't want to change your lines, you can either step down the line by the valve with an adapter fitting and short lengths of 3/8" line, or you could use the VU4 manifold that comes with threaded ports- you could thread 1/2" fittings into it to use your line directly. Keep in mind if you're switching to a manifold from individual 1/2" valves that your system won't be nearly as fast- the internal ports on these manifolds don't flow as much air as diaphragm-style valves.

@@twistedimages405 i have manual 2 switch setup just front and rear controls. Trying to get advantage of individual control on all 4 corner. Will the vu4 be slow as well

[@twistedimages405]

@@andrewb.glisnin2266 VU4 and VX4 are both "direct-acting" valves, meaning the solenoid acts directly on the seal that allows air to pass from the tank to the airbag. This type of valve is compact, which makes it great for use in manifolds, but the downside is that it's a lot slower than diaphragm valves. So even switching from a 2-path setup where your two front or rear air bags are sharing that one valve for lifting or dropping, you'll probably find the manifold to be slower. Generally, cars with VU4 or VX4 manifolds take around 2-3 seconds to lift or drop with 3/8" air line at 200 psi. Compare that with the last 1/2" system we installed at the shop- less than a second to lift or drop, and the front wheels actually come off the ground when you lift it all the way! Glad I could help- let me know if you have any other questions!
