accord air setup questions...

just bumping the thread ( and on a side note) technicaly by having an air compressor and tank in my trunk.. would it be possible to set it up to use and impact wrench every once in a while... like if i used one of the ports as a spare for the gun? has anyone ever done this?

this is great info !
did you go with 4"&3" cylinders ?
are they 100mm stoke, 80 mm bore ?
i am trying to figure out what to buy to do a set up on a 90 accord i got last week.

yeah man.. im going with 3 and 4" cylenders i dont know what the strokes are though...

The accumulators that AIM sells are just two 1/2 gallon tanks welded together with separate chambers. 1/2 gallons is way too much air. I tried it that way and I could push my car to the ground by the back bumper.

I used these tanks

You could run air tools off of the compressor but not for very long. You will run out of air too quick. I have an attachment to blow up air mattresses at shows and innertubes when I float down the river.

I am using AIM 4inch in front and SMC 3.5s in the back

thanks again for all you guy's help!

god damn it.. i just thought of another question i had for you guys.... on my air cylenders there are ports on the top and on the cylender itself... now i just going to be using the top one.. however, is it ok to just leave the bottom one open or should it be filtered somehow? cause i would think water and shit would get in there.... thanks guys...

YOU CAN LEAVE IT OPEN BUT SOME PEOPLE SAY TO USE THE LITTLE FILTERS BUT IT WILL SLOW YOUR LIFT.

i just priced out the cylinders from mic, i read here that they sold smc's, but it dosn't say that on their site.
i also saw that you can get 100mm,150mm,200mm stroke. so thats 4"6" and 8" stroke. there was a $20 difference from one to the next, but will they all fit ?
will the 200mm stroke sit the same as the 100mm stroke when aired out ?

go with the 8 valves trust me i had the 3 ways and blowed every one of mine while drivind and i was only running 140 psi at the time. you will be able adjust while driving it will be fast so be ready but the 1/2 s are really good valves ive got the 3/8 on my civic and run 185psi with a 380 viar
