Don't forget airflow and heat needs to escape.

The ARB Hi Output Compresser is a Great product. Cna be mounted outside teh car with No concern at all. Infact ARB has one on display at their Kilsyth Factory in a Fish Tank full of water on 100% Duty cycle fully submerged with only a vent via one of their Solenoids mounted to it. Quite extraordinary!
If you are going to fit a Tank into your system then its a great idea for use with Tools and what not, also for a big blast to rebead a tyre it can be handy too. The point there though is your ability to increase the pressure in the tank to 100 - 120psi for usable air.
When designing your setup you really need to be able to isolate the tank from the system via a gate valve or solenoid or you will be increasing what your poor old compressor has to pump up every time you fit it to a tyre. Your 33 will be like pumping a 35 and so on. Its just more volume to get to your running pressure. Turn it off and isolate it as it is slowing down your airup.
I have 2 air tanks and have isolated them via an ARB Solenoid for when i am airing up
Yes i have my Big compressor mounted in a Box and fitted the rear door speaker cover over a hole the same size as the vent for the box. ;) if you have fitted new speakers to your front doors and did not use the covers then they work very well. Looks sweet too ;)Quote:

Good thing is you can get these in silent and adjustable speed units. Would be good to maybe fit a timer relay so the fan ran a little longer than the compressor to cool it down after service. (hmm he says as he types should look into this)
Good idea.. But that's getting a bit technical.. By pass wires for power after switch off, relays... Omg my heads hurting...Quote:
