hey im converting y ac compressor into on board air and i need to do some kind of oiler.... 

[RynothealbinO]

I am planning on doing the same thing at some point in my life.  I had planned on using an in line tool lubricator on the intake side of the pump but I do not know if that would actually work.  I don't know if they will work under a vaccum or not.  Does anyone know?  Otherwise I think most people just put some oil in the intake of the pump before they start using it and put more in if they continue to use it for an extended period of time.

yeah..use an inline tool oiler.

Sorry dont mean to jack your thread but I'm in the process of converting the ac comp on my '92 to on oba. I've pretty much got everything to do it but I caint find any info on which line to the compressor is intake and exhaust. I've got a larger line with a large nut to tighten it down and a slightly smaller one with a weird end that has a flange to put a bolt through. Anybody know which one I should use for intake and which for the line going to the tank? Hope this made sense, thanks.

the large line is low pressure (intake). small line is always high pressure...

This style drip oiler works a lot better then the in-line tool oiler. I have used both and this is my pick.

where and how much

where and how much

I got mine at a place in Sacramento called "The Air Tool Store" and I think it was about twenty five dollars. It is a specialty store that only sells all things pneumatic.

You have the power of the internet and google. Search the net for something in your area or on-line sells.

i just yanked my moter and am ditching the A/C    was thinking of doing this .

Is there a kit   or you just got keep it lube  and have the hose made/plumb it.

well what I'm getting at is.
1 what is the PSI/CFMs
2. what size tank is good
3. will it be efficient enough 2 bother with it.

I have about 1-2 weeks befor i put the new moter in so any info. links would  be sweet

The main reason im kicking the A/C is it dose not work great/ kills the  power on the moter/surges.    Now i did charge it once  then one summer forgot 2 get a belt the summer after that it started being crapy so i did not use it for 2 summer.

some how i have a feeling IF I TOSS IT  global warming will kick my

Front Range used to offer a kit. I do not see it on their web page but you could give them a call to se if they still offer it.

1. There is more to it then sticking a hose on it and using. On the rotary style pumps, what you have you need an oiler on the intake side, a pressure cutoff switch, you should have a water/oil separator on the output side. I do not know the PSI/CFMs put they put out enough to air up my 35 MTR's from 8-9 PSI to 25 in about five minutes for all four tires.

2. I have a five gallon tank I got from Wal-Mart.

3. Yes, very.

While the rotary style work great as long as you keep them oiled on the intake, the older style York piston compressors are much better because they have a crankcase that has oil in it and you do not have to have an oiler on the intake. They are not real hard to mount up to a 22r. I have a Mini York mounted on my 3.0 and it took some thinking to get it mounted up. It works great and airs my 36" IROKS up from 4-5 psi to 25 in about 8-10 minutes. I turn the system on and off with the stock AC switch which still has the idle-up feature hooked up.

Here is a web page that sells stuff for the Yorks and other accessories for OBA.
