Best Off-road Air Compressor MODS.

[@moeandco.]

Definitely need a second episode. I was super impressed with my compressor in stock configuration, but now I’m going to have to step up my game.

[@frankeck5493]

So we I've watched this 3 times now. Once by myself and twice with the boys. You blown their minds removing the computer board and operating it with the switch and solenoid. Part 2 should definitely include a white board of the wiring. Still trying to get the younger one to equivocate a relay to a solenoid.

[@X1019703]

Yes please part 2. Comparison in STOCK VS UPGRADE. 1.)Time for pumping up 4 tyres. 2.)Temperatures of the compressor during operation both cold and hot day on the field. 3.)Wear and Tear report (3-6-9-12 months). Your awesome. Your practical and making small adjustment to affordable products and enhancing it to last longer and functional and a lot cheaper to buy and build and probably a lot easier to fix and simple especially with taking out the circuit. Keep up the great work and keep it coming.

[@scottyyy3608]

Great mod, you won't look back, I did this about 1 year ago increase fitting to 1/4 + update hoses and cable. Mine is permanently mounted behind back seats with a 12v boat blower blowing across it to keep it running cool. Then made my own twin tyre inflare deflation kit and it's quicker than a ARB DUEL 😀

[@mattb.2359]

I did some of those things to mine when I got mine. Went up to 1/4” npt from the 1/8” that was on there originally. Secondly added a pressure regulator. Reason is the compressor can output 150, while normal air tanks are rated for 100. So regulator is set below 100 for tank safety. Ditched the spring clamps for the battery connection in favor of adding 2 gauge ran up to the front, through a 200 amp continuous load relay, which is switched through my SPod. It works, and fills itself and my tank from dead flat to 100psi in 1 minute. Single ARB used to take 3, plus complicated wiring.

[@joerivas9847]

[@MattE_NB]

When I was researching rebuilding my "Titan" branded compressor (physically identical to the larger smittybilt unit), smittybilt owners were recommending SuperLube with PTFE for the cylinder.

[@teamtrimm4461]

Love it! The fact that you had to simplify the device to make it more reliable says a lot about where we are in this world today. I swear if I had the capital I would start a company that did exactly this. Imagine the possibilities!

[@silentbravo]

It's about cost. That PCB and components cost a few dollars to make. The solenoid he added was probably $10-30, and the pressure switch was probably around the same cost. So adding $20-40 or more in build cost to sell these at only $150 really dents the profits. You see how much work he had to do to it to make it a lot more robust, yet the build quality for the remaining parts can still be questionable.

[@daniellavoie8379]

Nice project. If you added power connectors like the ones on winches, the cables could be used as booster cables and to power the compressor. This way perhaps the compressor could fit in an ammo can. Good job!

[@chrlsraines]

Yes! Like the I believe their called “Anderson Plugs” used on Tow Trucks for their booster cables. Tow trucks never have to pop the hood they just plug in the cables… and those plugs I know for a fact can be ordered on Amazon.

[@abpsd73]

I had the same idea, having the connectors also allows the cables and compressor to be stored separately and makes untangling cables easier.

[@chrlsraines]

I’ve almost done away w/ my booster cables, got one of those small (but powerful) boost packs, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT THING!! I tested it out of box by totally disconnecting my battery and jumping my truck straight off the pack several times… works great, & have used it several times! Keep my cables as a contingency just incase. But I plan on getting the plugs and wiring to install one on both the front & back of my truck for easy access, and they can also be used for hooking up accessories when needed.

[@MinimaDomum]

I have them on the front and rear of my rig (anderson connectors) i use them for my winch, jumper cables, and compressor, very handy

[@woodenfly4quids168]

@@MinimaDomum I have the same set-up, but only at the rear. The inflation hose reaches all tyres on the Cruzer, and the 4 tyres on the caravan (but not the spare - I can check that when it's fitted.) I have an air line ✈ fitting on the compressor, but I'm really impressed with that simple idea for a manifold. That's next. 🙃

[@feltusfeicit]

I will use PM600 "military grease", I've been finding it pretty useful on the truck, as it has good temperature characteristics as a dynamic lubricant, and is also designated as a liquid o-ring.

[@dwaynehoffmann8538]

I love the Compressor mods! I have a '79 JC-7 with an AC compressor conversion and an '07 JK with twin ARBs. On the KJ I connected 3 Ts together. This give me an input and 2 outputs on the driver side and 2 outputs on the passenger side (This is under the back seat). My input hose is long enough to reach my ARBs, and my outlets are long enough to reach both sides of the seat. I also have cut a 25' air hose into 6, 50" pieces (with ends) These will Velcro together and lay nicely under the back seat. It takes 2 pieces to reach the front, and one to reach the rear. I've also put a ball valve and a pressure gauge on my input line so that when I close the valve it show the pressure in the tires. I can inflate/deflate all 4 of my tires at once, or I can connect the pieces and make a 25 foot hose is someone else need air. :) Keep up the good work!

[@andylewandowski4808]

Great video. I bought one a few months back and thought it needed a few upgrades too. These will definitely help me out. I was also thinking an Anderson connector on the end of the new power cables. Then add an Anderson lead to the truck and one to the short ‘left over’ end of the cables with the clamps. Better/easier connection to your rig and still the option to “clamp on” to someone else’s battery/rig.

[@edukano85]

That is what I've done with mine. It seats in the back of my Montero permanently connected, but I can easily take it out and use the clamps. 3 Andersen plugs and some wire is what you need (careful with the gauge and long distance)

[@xjinit]

Since you're using a manifold that stays under pressure, I'd suggest installing a check valve into the supply line as the big compressors have. This will remove the constant pressure on the pistons at startup.

[@DonziGT230]

The startup pressure is less of an issue with this type of motor, and with such a short output pipe the check valve will do very little for startup pressure anyway.

[@xjinit]

@@DonziGT230 there is usually a bleeder valve to clear the compressed air in the line that accompanies that check valve.

[@DonziGT230]

@@xjinit Yes, it's part of the pressure switch used on 'standard' compressors, and it'll do very little for this setup.

[@xjinit]

@@DonziGT230 can you elaborate?

[@DonziGT230]

@@xjinit The pipe is very short/small volume and this compressor moves a large volume of air so it'll pressurize very quickly therefore be of very little benefit. The pipe on a home compressor is typically much longer and the compressors are lower volume so it'll take several strokes to pressurize the pipe. Also, this type of motor isn't effected by startup torque like the motors used in home compressors which have a very hard time with startup. One of those without the pressure release often won't be able to get up to speed, it'll try 'till it burns up unless it has an overload breaker to protect it. I don't know of any 12v compressor that has a pressure relief and they all do fine, even those without a check valve.

[@EricBuenoo]

Never use petroleum-based products- they degrade the seals. Silicone grease is the way to go as others have noted. Mod looks great!

[@e.c.8668]

use comprssor lube.

[@jethro9341]

If petroleum products degrade seals, we wouldn't put petrolatum, or hydraulic fluid, or various oils, or fuel, on every single rubber packing, seal, gasket and o-ring on a helicopter. In 40 years as a professional mechanic, ranging from heavy equipment to countless aircraft, I can count on one hand the times where a non-petroleum based lubricant is called for by a manufacturer or technical specifications.

[@russellv6234]

@@jethro9341 Depends on what the seal is made out of and since there's no money in using seals that resist oil in a part that has no oil, companies dont do it.

[@Eric2300jeep]

I respectfully disagree. I used to be an industrial air compressor mechanic. I've worked on just about every style of compressor out there and units up to 150HP that were the size of pickup trucks. We used petroleum based lubricants on almost all seals, unless otherwise noted on the seal manufacturer's recommendations, which was practically never.

[@jethro9341]

@@russellv6234 Your standard run of the mill seals, packings, o-rings, are fine with petroleum based products. The extra cost to a manufacturer would be a specialty seal that doesn't jive with petroleum products.

Great job on the upgrades, thanks for the ideas. Let’s see part 2 for sure. Have fun camping. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken

[@jamesmcgarry8660]

If you want to add a "homemade tank" you could get whatever length of 4" copper tube and silver solder caps on with any connection size you want. It would help cool the air even more, especially it there is air flow. It isn't much storage but for this application more than enough. Having been in the compressed air industry for nearly 40 years, this is a great product for the price. Excellent mods done with the 1/8" to 1/4" size upgrade being understated in it's value. That will also help reduce heat load.

[@jeffwuzhere]

Toss a pressure regulator and gauge in front of your air hose quick connect. This allows you to set your target pressure on the regulator, connect the hose to your tire and just let it run until the pressure switch cuts power. No need to babysit it or keep checking pressures as you go.

[@Omoba464]

Hello I can't find one

[@NavyGator1979]

A good amount of water is compressed out of the air even with these small air compressors. My current project is adding water separators to my twin compressors so I am not continuously pumping water into my tires when airing up. It might be something worth researching for you.

[@adventureeverything3125]

I was just trying to piece together what I’m needing for this. Plus I have Multiple rigs and can’t build a compressor in each one. So this is awesome for a good compressor set up to move from vehicle to vehicle for different trips. Also go in my construction truck to blow myself off before heading home to work.

[@amorton94]

Yes on a Part 2! A multi-tire inflator/defaltor is stupid easy and can be done for super cheap. A $5 3-way splitter with a cheap gauge and connectors is all you really need for a 2-tire setup. The hose is the most expensive part of the whole thing. For a 4-tire setup Amazon has a 7 port manifold that is perfect for $7. Minus hose, I'm in my 4-tire inflator/defaltor for less than $30. Word on the street is that Napa discontinued the compressor. It's out there under multiple different brand names, but for 2-4x the cost. Might be able to get some in from a wholesaler and fill the void that Napa is leaving. Have a Dirt Lifestyle branded compressor out there kicking ARB's ass all over the place. 😆

[@Davidshomeworkshop]

Between this and the on board air in the disco, I have a plan for my own WK2 air system. Thanks for the ideas, knowledge, and motivation. You inspire all of us.

[@golfmike304]

Napa was continually out of stock until I noticed a different Napa store that had a link to have it shipped to this store. So I did and picked it up a day later. So glad I found out that little option. So when on their site scroll to different stores and see if there’s the option to have it delivered to that store.

[@fluffyeggs]

I have the single cylinder version of this. Had to replace the relay, reseal all connections, and replace one of the exhaust port orings. Pretty sure the piston ring is teflon so I lubed it with triflow teflon grease. - 120 amp circuit breaker may be a good idea. Will also function as a switch so you don't have sparks when hooking up the battery clamps. - There are tons of these on alibaba/aliexpress. Shipping will be slower but the price is much lower.

[@stephenalmeter559]

Always use a silicone based Grease. I work for a fastener company and I repair compressors, gas and electric. A lot of these oil free compressors have leather rings in them that wear out over time and they're pretty much crap. So if you can use lube always use silicone based. Plastics and rubbers are petroleum products so if you use a petroleum product with them they will deteriorate pretty quickly at high temperatures.

[@hunterdan2002]

For lube, I'd recommend having some kind of pull through oiler on the inlet filter to draw in a small amount of air tool oil to keep everything lubed up. A second note, if you mount it inside a box of sorts, I'd run a small fan, like a PC fan to pull air through the box and keep it from overheating. I'd tie it in to the pressure switch, so whenever the compressor kicks on, the fan kicks on.

Or if you put it in the ammo can just make some ventilation ports/holes/vents etc

Outstanding! I mentioned on IG that I have been thinking of making many of the same mods to my Napa compressor. Picked it up early 2021 and have been happy but knew it was capable of more. I was planning on the 200amp relay and ditching the electronics because I want to be able to mount this are the rear of my 4Runner along with a tank since there's no long a spare tire back there. I knew the electronics were not going to withstand exposure. I would have recommended not using the ammo can, at least not for mounting. These things get hot and need the air ventilation to keep cool. It's fine for transport and storage, but not for use, at least not without modding the ammo can (vents, maybe even a couple 120mm fans.... hmmm....) Thanks for the video, pretty much confirmed that what I was thinking about will be suitable. Plus you gave me a couple other ideas (hard line, etc)

Another alternative to buying a roll of soft copper is to use 3/8 brake line from the auto parts store. Bends real nice and should easily be able to handle the pressure.

I know it's been a while since you made this video, but I just got one of these, different brand, and was wondering if you can provide a schematic for the electrical mods and a little more info?
