I have the airconditioning system from a baleno that i have no intention of using as aircon so might turn into an endless air compressor has anyone got any experience with building a compressor from an aircon compressor?

You want a really simple system, just connect the output of compressor to an air tank, with a 100psi switch also connected to tank. Then connect positive wire from battery, to a switch in dash, to the pressure switch on tank, then connect to compressor clutch.
The input for compressor you connect to a simple filter of some sort in engine bay. Every few long uses, spray some WD40 down the input hose. DONE.

Make sure it has an online oiler as the a/c gas is a lubrication for it

x2 my uncle has an on bord air supply in his cruiser comp truck and its going strong arfter 12 years with no oil supply

Not saying it willshit itself just prolongs everything it's like air tools they don't need to be oiled before every use but it's recomended

I got the same set up on my zook and my mate"s as wall works really good we can pump up 4 tyres in the time a blue tounge comp can do one

who sells the pressure switch? is that something you can get from bursons or do i have to pinch one off somebodies mini truck?

[zookster666]

Arb tjm etc sell them just call them they're not that expensive

[lukes_89]

what do you guys use for tanks and as mr green asked where do you get the pressure switch i have a air con unit sitting here would come in handy im also looking at making some rock sliders that are air tanks how hard do you think this would be or other wise rear tube

you can get decent airtanks from any truck supply place

[matty87]

thanks for all the good info guys. its going in a comp truck so if i can be bothered with an oil system ill look but otherwise a bit of oil down the throat should keep it going i spose.

and you guys asking bout air tanks i was gonna use a nine kilo gas cylinder that has been condemed for gas use

check my build thread, i've set up my air system this way using a a vitara pump as endless air, just make sure you install a one way valve
