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.

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.

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.

We need to redirect these powers for good though...What if you got a more complicated off-road platform, like a Gen 1 Porsche Cayenne...which can be retrofitted with the factory rear locker and an Eaton front diff, had available air suspension that can be improved and made more reliable (I have ideas) but is missing a long-travel option, and can be had with fun stuff like a 400hp V8, manual transmission, and hydraulic active disconnectable roll bars (PDCC)...might be worth it just for how irritated the Toyota and Jeep boys would get 😂

Do the pistons push in parallel or alternate? If alternating, then the T style outlet pipe would allow the air to bounce back toward the other head before going out. That could cause some loss in efficiency. May not be much advantage changing to a V connection. Also, my big compressor keeps the same diameter pipe as the reed hole all the way up until it enters the tank. I could see there being some flow issues with the larger diameter pipe to smaller passages in the distro block. Just speculating some arm chair hydrodynamics....

Nate, I love this series! I built a modded "shittybuilt" years ago and have been using it ever since but it's now starting to fail 😪 I'm thinking of getting a napa compressor and doing the same as you've done, maybe a bit more...? I love seeing people's ways to improve things, I find it fascinating! one other idea I've been thinking of is finally following my dreams of releasing my own product to market... one idea I've had is a specific offroad air compressor. super-fast inflation for BIG tires but still runs off 12 volts. if I end up doing this, to say thanks for the years of entertainment and inspiration, I'll send you one for free. hopefully it will outperform everything you have tested previous lol 😁 I really enjoy watching your videos Nate! this is one of the best channels on KZbin by far!

We want more Nate! This series is Gr8, love to see some more mate. Oh yeah, could you have turned those valve reeds the other way up? It looked a bit like they were warped slightly away from the valve ports, if inverted they may have made a better seal.

Typical valve plates are ground dead flat. The oring is going to pop out and jamb up. Start with a flat block of aluminum so that the valve is flat so that it self seals. Great series! Love watching you work through this process.

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.

As someone who is still really new to all the aspects of off roading and fab work it inspires me to do things I never thought I'd do. So please dig in further and see what else can be done to upgrade that compressor. As always love the content keep em coming nate

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!

Can confirm, you can only shove so much air through a single valve core. Once you get above about 5cfm at 40psi there is a pretty drastic difference airing up more than one tire at once. Easy experiment, just pull a valve core when airing up a single tire, there will be a substantial difference.

You could try spreading a thin layer of high temp silicone under those reeds to fill that gap and create a better seal. Worst case scenario if it does nothing you just have to scrape it off with a razor. I think you should patent your upgrades and license it to your buddy at morflate

I loved this series, it would be awesome if you found a more available budget air compressor and modded it (so we can do the same)

I’ve been in touch with my Napa field sales agent, he says this was a one off purchase for Napa and there is no availability nor are they going to purchase more from China in the foreseeable future. I really do wish there was the same product under another brand name available
