I need to know what compressor to get, i am only running the front setup right now and will probably get another tank and compressor when i do the rear. justcompressor.com has blowjax, yes i know this is AIM stuff but ive heard good stuff about their compressor, they have a 33% duty compressor that is supposed to be better than the Thomas 317 for 119 bucks, I need some input here!!!!!!!!

[MightyMouseJ5]

the rule of thumb that i have heard for using the Thomas 315s or 317s is 2 compressors for ever 5-7 gallons. i plan on running 2 tripple chrome plated FBI 7 gallon tanks with a total of 4 Thomas 317 compressors. i could be wrong of cource so see what others post as well.:thumbup:

 

[AVTekk]

when you write stuff here it turns out BOLD

i have two 3 gallon tanks and 2 thomas 317 compressors. no problems whatsoever with them. from my ezperience, AIM is complete bullsh!t and theyre customer service sucks. heh, lata

 

[loweredd]

ive got the blowjax on mine, had a 9 gallon tank and it filled it in about 5? minutes. I put a 5 gallon on it now and it fills quick. maybe 2 minutes.

I have 2 BlowJax 3/4 Horse 100% Duty filling up 2 9 gallons and i have no problems with it it takes about 8-10 mins to fill full .

Duty Cycle?

ive got the blowjax on mine, had a 9 gallon tank and it filled it in about 5? minutes. I put a 5 gallon on it now and it fills quick. maybe 2 minutes.

Do you have the 100% or the 33% or do you know, i dont think i want to get a 100%, too much right now, i think im only gonna get a 3 gallon tank too.

My rule of thumb

is to get the best first then buy again later. Viair 450's are 100% Duty cycle and we can do those for $240.00 From the ppl we have talked to who have used them, say they don't even get hot.

At least with the 100% compressor, if u add more tanks later on or you find yourself hitting the switches a lot u will have the compressor already there to do the job.

We have no experience with BlowJax and never will so we can't help you out there.

Thomas has the new 327 out with the flow rate of a 315 and the 150 psi of the 317.00

The price on those are in the $180 neighbourhood.

if your like me i flex my bags on every one i see.
i have 2 thomas 317 filling a 7 gallon tank.
im gonna be ordering a 100% cycle compressor cause my compressors run for quit a while .... every once in a while after about 5 minutes of running one of them cuts out.

 

[low_huh?]

i have 2 thomas 315's to a 7 gallon and i fill mine in 2 minutes....just know that thehigher you set your pressure switch the longer your compressors will run.....and the higher you go the more likely you are to burn them out:thumbup:

Well to make it easier... one 317 for every three gallons of air... now running 4 - 317's... that's about an 80 amp load... you're looking at a new alternator there too... it might just be cheaper for you in the long run to go engine driven... well wait actually it will

4 317s at 150 each = 600
New alternator = 200

**** man for $100 more i'd get an airlifts engine driven, would be a lot wiser investment for you.

 

[The_Researcher]

I agree. We have an engine driven going on an Hombre 2.2 and a 4.0 litre in a ford ranger.

Much wiser way to go. When I used to run only 2-317's and 6 gallons and had the system running the volts dropped right down. There not the smartest way to go any more.

 

[FLOWMINI98]

[email protected] you get any deals on the engine drivne compressor

 

[The_Researcher]

I'm an Air Lift dealer so I can do a better price then retail. E mail me with what engine u have and I will give a price to you.

Hey Jeff message me or email me about the 400 series, i dont think i will need a 100% compressor, give me some info on these, thanks.

[Brayden]

Do you have any pictures of the Viair 450's compressors?

 

[The_Researcher]

I don't have a pic but they look like any other 12 volt compressor, a lot like the Thomas or Airlift ones since all Air lifts compressors I believe are Viair.

I e mailed you about the 4 link but it got sent back because it said the e mail account was full.

 

[Brayden]

send me a privite message for the 4 link
