I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! Please do keep modding. I have wondered for years if I disassembled contractors' air compressor. Remote placed the tank with a different shape to fit the vehicle and of course, an inverter / remote battery power supply would be a better option. NOW I'm thinking to do all that but also incorporating your mod ideas.PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, list links or acquisition options for the reeds and more not-so-usual items. THANK YOU Hand

I used a contractors compressor in the back of my cherokee for quite a while it was almost an accident that I got the idea or started using it. I had my inverter in the back at the time and loaded a little compressor in the back and when I looked at my inverter the idea just clicked lol and that compressor lived there for a few years. Anyway it was similar to one of those pancake compressors but it had 2 small tanks on top of each other I think it was still like 2 or 3 gallons but it fit nicely behind the seat with the hose wrapped around it the only mod I did was I put nice heavy rubber feet on it, not really even a mod. Nowadays I have co2 and a dual viair system with a 2 gallon tank more integrated into the jeep.

I replaced a pressure switch on a 4 gal contractor compressor. I noticed extremely small holes in the distribution 4way in the bottom of switch. I drilled all 4 out to 3/8" for better flow. They're seriously like maybe 3/16" dia hole...tiny. now I can run airtools off it like an impact gun...it just wouldn't do it before. Not enough flow.

I think the tougher test that shows the inflators when working harder is from 15 to 30, or 30 to 65 psi. That’s when my inflators have struggled more. The better quality ones always do much better at the higher pressures. The deltas are much closer between inflators that I’ve used, when pressures are lower. Just my thoughts.

Keep going. There’s so much more to learn and I haven’t seen anyone explore the limits. One issue you mentioned and I can’t get to work is filling multiple tires at once. I always seem to get really lop sided filling with almost all the air to one tire. I’m down to open 5/16 line with nothing in between aside from tire Chuck with the center stripped open so it’s full flow.

Maybe one giant 1/4" check valve with a light spring directly attached to the intake port would be an idea to increase flow and get rid of the two intake reads all together. I would love to see more fiddling around with these compressors. Maybe you could team up with some other KZbinrs to even build a new cylinder with cooling fins in itself to get rid of the sleeve. Also lighter pistons and more stroke create more displacement could be an option. I could imagine if you would max this out this will be pretty much fun to watch.

I think there is a lot of improvement that can be done with off road air compressors. These compressors are currently designed for a maximum piston backpressure of 100+ psi at 100 amps or so. If you instead designed a system that pulled 100 amps at 35psi you could incorporate a cylinder head with far more volume per stroke. This would maximize the motor name plate power level at lower tire pressures which is where we need it.

Can confirm qual inflate is faster on the Napa. From my armchair research, I’ve found that the limitation is the Schrader valve at the tire, being that it really can only flow something like 2-3 CFM. Running 4 I can see a drastic reduction in back pressure. Inflator would register ~30 psi over the actual in the tire filling a single tire. Filling 4 the back pressure is around 5 PSI, which to me means that not only are we using more of the available CFM of the compressor, we are also running the compressor at a lower PSI, which is more efficient and more CFM from the compressor.

I believe you (Joshua Manning) would be correct based on the subjective research done by another Australian, (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3qbqn2ImdCce8k), although credit where credit is due "Dirt Lifestyle" has done a great job limiting the restriction points within the compressor itself, however, has missed probably the biggest restriction of them all. The tyre valve! In conjunction to some currently unknown extent, the handpiece would create some restriction in flow as well. There are a few ways to combat this, either using the product in the video linked above, or by simply linking tyres together and reducing the flow through each valve. The only way to properly test these would to utilise a flow bench with a full mock-up system including valve stems to have empirical evidence on what works and what does not.

Like I mentioned last video I ended up joining 2 of these together with all the mods that you have done, with impressive results. I can pump all 4 35" tyres (0-35psi) up at the same time in less then 2 1/2 minutes. The one down fall is that it is heavy! One thing I find interesting in this video is that on the ones we get here the intake valves already have o-rings installed.

Also something to consider, is having an air tank plumbed in line. I have the same compressor, without mods, plumbed into an air tank. with one quick release chuck in the front bumper, and one chuck in the rear. So might have to test inflating two tires then airing up all 4 at once. My compressor works with my SwitchPros unit, and has a regulator set to 100psi. Which is what the tank is rated to.

Having done similar mods to a almost identical compressor and tested each mod in between.... Flow improvements biggest to smallest: -Tank/s, bigger the better, at 100psi before you start. -More tyres at once by far wins on flow as the valve core is the biggest restriction. I have a mounted outlet at each wheel on my sliders with 4x 3ft fly hoses. -Manifold with large distribution feed to each line, compressor in one end and tank/s feed at the other end so either can feed the individual lines from whatever has the most pressure. Mods to compressor itself: -A lager T to the manifold makes the biggest difference, drill out the fittings a bit to max flow. -Drill out the head by 20-30 thou, bell mouth them on intake side (not chamfer has sharp edges make turbulence), and then polish them to a shine. -Bigger holes and reeds with sharp holes make less difference then standard reeds with well shaped and polished intake holes. Don'ts... -stiffer reeds actually lower flow as they allow more to escape before they are forced closed and bounce more on each cycle due to increased mass. -dont shape the piston/read side of the intake holes. -O rings will only create more tubulance and decrease overall flow.

Great video. I'm really interested in in the 12volt portable air pump topic. I've had atleast a dozen of them: mostly the super low price ones and a few mid-price versions. All of them were single cylinder, non-professional... I also have purchased atleast a dozen Harbor Freight products (because theyn were at a ultra low discount...). I would keep an extra Harbor Freight pump, still in the box, and give them away to friends. They made great gifts. I noticed that some of the Harbor Freight pumps sucked, right out of the box. Some were ok. And a few were awesome. They are good for ONE TIRE! Then you have to let them cool down. If you push them to hard, they burn up....toast. After that, they take forever to air up a tire. Another thing that I noticed was that they got so hot, regardless of brand. If additional cooling fins, a good fan, and aluminum air ducting were implemented, I bet that they would last much longer. Also, i think that some sort of "after cooler", would be helpful. Heat is the enemy!

Nate, Filling multiple tyres at once is faster for high flow compressors because there is less resistance on the line. The valve stem is the choke point for the system and it is hard to get much faster than what you have at present. Try pulling the valve core and running your test again, you should see an improvement.

I’ve enjoyed these videos so I’m all for more of them, on a side note I use two viair 485C compressors on my Jeep have been more then happy with viair over the years so the fact you can get a budget compressor to the same level is impressive.

YES! Keep the mods coming. I"d like to see how well, if possible, the compressor will do inflating a tire to highway safe pressure. I have 275/70 R18s on my 3/4 ton pickup running at 70 PSI. Thanks.

I'm quite certain that compressor would explode trying to pump it to 70 PSI.

Vitamin B has NO clue what he's talking about. Will work fine up to 70psi. I have test vids on my channel of it too. Most put a 120psi pressure switch on em.

Love the series, its amazing seeing how far you can push these little compressors, have the same sitting in the camper trailer with the only change being fitting wireless RF remote control so i can turn on or off without going to the compressor, the dual outlets is a brilliant touch.

I have an Australian Adventure Kings Thumper Max that looks exactly like yours. I have loved your videos on this mods, and it has inspired me to do something the same. I have mounted mine behind the back seat of my Ford Ranger and going to hard wire it with the upgrade 90A power cables like you suggested. I am also installing an air tank under my tub so I can inflate my types fasted. I can't do the upgrade with the copper pipe, but we have to know our limits. I am going to have to relocate the power switch off the compressor to the side near the back door. I have watched these videos so many times. Thanks for showing us you air compressor mods and keep up the great work on your videos.

Definitely do more on the compressor and other hacks on equipment/gear. These are the things that help us increase reliability when in the middle of nowhere, and helps to think differently about how things are or can be used.

Use a 2 stage reed like boysens to up flow. Lighter reeds open quicker and seal faster. O-rings are just something to come loose and go through the compressor.

On my 2 stroke dirt bike, I was able to get some fiberglass reeds that replaced the factory steel ones. I wonder if that would improve any efficiency?
