Yea, I was just looking at those, pretty damn cheap too! (and ugly! LoL)
I was also looking at air zenith's new line the OB-2. they have half inch lines coming out of them, however I cant find ANY specs for them. Anyone know how good they are? and if they are worth the extra cash?
or how about any info on the Viar 495c's?

I have 2 480s with a 5 gallon tank (and am adding another 5) and those 2 arent anywhere near enough for 5 gal yet alone 10! Every time I do 1 "up" they turn on, after the second up, tank is empty and I have to wait forever to get anymore air in there...
were can I get the custom fabbed one? I've heard of them, but apparently they arent used by many...
(dont see what VIP has to do with this topic?)

or you may want 1 big bad compressor 12v

those are all extreme overkill i asked you this before do you constantly play with your air system ??

If you are running 200psi per bag, then something is wrong. There's a lot of guys who run one 5gal tank and have decent amount of play time, atleast 2 ups before anything happens. Something sounds weird. Have you checked with your installer?
whats the rate of your pressure switch on your tank?if its low id go with a higher one.i had 2 viair 480's and a 5 gal tank and when its empty it didnt take 10 minutes to fill up.maybe 5-6 mins.
I would hope he isn't running 200psi....that's just ridiculous...i would think normal pressures for an American made system is 50-120 per bag
I think he has a 165-200 pressure switch. I know a lot of other people are running the lower pressure switch on here. Also he's running 1/2" valves, lines and on switches.
Do most of you guys here run a digital air management? Does it just fill up your bag to the desired psi?
I'm on switches so once I hit the switch it fills up the bag and I have to deflate to my ride height. That may be a reason why some can run longer without their compressors coming on. Also maybe cuz most will run a 1/4" line. Just some thoughts.

^^^That's what I would think to. It does use the same amount of air to fill up the bag but wouldn't a 1/2" line hold more air in the line than a 1/4"?
Also, I don't know how a digital air management works in comparison to just switches.

They bags only go up to 70psi. Tank has the 165-200 switch. I did the install (theres nothing to it?) If I hit the "all up" switch, it will max at about 56 all the way around, and compressors go off. I deflate raise again and goes to maybe 50... I guess everyone has a different idea of the length of "play time". I want to get more than 1 or 2 lock ups before I begin to run out and I dont want to burn up my compressors either!
as for the 10 minuets of fill, I was talking about with 2 tanks. I dont want to have the compressors running for ten minuets to fill 2 tanks.
and once again, this wasnt a question of compressors and tanks. it was a question about charging...

I've read about the oasis, but not sure if I want to spend $1200 on them, however how does the HP3000 compare to the belt driven one?
If I'm to change the 4 compressors to something else, I want the most for my money. I like the idea of the belt driven one to take the draw off the electrical.
Ok NOW its about EVERYTHING! LoL, compressors electrical etc.... I WANT FASTER FILL UP, and THATS what the thread is really about...
