ALL EDC users read this INFO things you need to know.

[DJDAudio]

I spoke with a technician who works on R &D for the ‘yorks’
I told him I wanted to use the model 209 for example as an air compressor.
He said it can be done with no adverse affects but keep these points in mind,

(1) If your EDC is silver PAINT it black – the high temp black paint will dissipate the heat better then the bare aluminum.
(2) The heat of the EDC should NEVER exceed 250F this was cause oil break down and head damage.
(3) Why do the EDC pass so much oil? Because they only have one ring for oil this alone will not stop all oil passage.
(4) If this is used as an air compressor the ‘PISSER’ hole as they say "oil mod" it. Needs to be blocked. THIS WILL NOT affect the compressor in negative way.
(5) At the temps we run them at we need to run 30 or 40 weight oil no multi oil like 10W30 the chemicals that make it multi oil will break down and it will act like 10weight.
(6) The oil used must be non foaming oil!! The more it foams the more it will pass!
(7) IF YOU DO THE OIL MOD, YOU MUST VENT THE CRANK CASE!
Or you will hurt the compressor. The vent must be on the side of the compressor that the crank shaft spins away from. The oil splash system will form a standing wave on the wall of the compressor.
(8) Grade 5 bolts must be used when mounting to the side of the compressor your are screwing into aluminum so keep this in mind.

(8) Race oil works the best!


Hope this helps answer a few questions and roomers floating around!

Thanks to climate control for this info.

we have a 510 race engine, so that what we use in it.

[bagged-regal]

thats awsome doug!!!! thanks for helping us all by calling them and talking to them!!!


yeah, where can we get the fittings to vent the crank case??

[Dragginbody]

there is a way to keep your edc cool. my sandens got pretty hot so i did this and it worked good.

what you can do is go to your local junk yard and get a small radiator, small ac condensor or even a heater core. mount it in front of your radiator and mount a small electric fan on it like from a honda or some small car. if you have ac u may not have room to mount it there.. if u have no ac u can use a stock s10 condensor in the stock location.

then hook up the out put of the radiator, ac condensor or heater core to the intake of the edc.

you will need to put a filter on the intake of the radiator, ac condensor or heater core.

this will keep your edc very cool and help it put out cooler air.

it will also help to keep the temp of the oil in the edc down

the ''dragginbody'' way to intercool your edc! lol

Looks like I shall do the "oil mod"

and get a breather! i have done my mod this weekend. i just need to get the breather.

what fittings to i need to go from the bolt from the side of the case to a air mufflter?

[bagged-regal]

HEY! i went looking and noticed the extreme oasis has a finded head on it to help disapate heat....can we all get one

[dropt98chevy]

Do you just vent it from the oil fill hole on the opposite side?

[Primer]

yeah.. i just got done plugging my oil hole and was wanting to know where u vented it at.? do u have to drill a whole or can u use the oil fill hole

cant you patent something like this too? and sell your own shiet? im sure alot of york owners would love one

[DJDAudio]

I was told to drill a hole in the bolt to act as a vent

[Primer]

would u need some kind of one way valve or filter to shit out of the compressor or do u just leave the hole open

[DJDAudio]

they recomend an inline fuel filter lol like for a tractor

[bigjsp]

Not sure I agree with the painting black, since in most cases high temp paints claim a reduction in under hood temp.


The only way that that makes sense is if the paint acts as an insulator.

[cain]

where is the how to on how to vent it?

[AVTekk]

ya are there some kind of specific pics or info on where exactly to vent it??

[Phildo]

ya doug...how do we vent...lol

[DJDAudio]

ok ok it is so hard to explain the way he told me let me to vent let me draw up a pic and I will be back.

i vent more like this



haha

[jchargu3]

Synthetic Oil > conventional..

Amsoil would be the best, little to no break down and little to no wear.

[bagged-regal]

im going to call kilby....i wanna see if i can get this vent. looks to be a 90degree with a 1/4 air muffler/filter on top. it seems to be in the dip stick bolt hole.

good idea!! find out what they use and how much!

This is what I was told,



When running the oil will form a wave up the side wall of the compressor the vent has to be on the outher side of the comp make sense?

I augued with him on that one but he assured me that the 'black' paint will disipate the heat better... makes no sense to me, I was told paint holds heat?

im on it! ill call kilby and see where i can track it down at! price and such and maybe if it can be found at a napa hahah...yeah right

what size hole and tap should be use to drill out the bolt? i mean it isnt that big at all. then what kinda line and fitting would be needed to make that happen!?

i really hope we get a good responce on this vent from the oasis, i cant call right now. ill call when i get outta class

[Primer]

does the oil wall splash on the suction side or Discharge side or is it different w/ all applications? is there anyway to see what direction it spins w/o terring it all apart?
