Using stock maz a/c compressor for edc

Im sittin here at work and am thinking about doing an engine driven compressor for my truck. What I need to know is has anyone used the stock mazda compressor for an engine driven? If so, what did ya have to do? Im thinking tap the input and output holes to pipe thread to accept the oiler and a line for the bags. I have also heard of some people using a dryer, but not sure if I would need one for a mazda. Any help would be appreciated.

from what we've done we havent had to use an oiler, they already have oil in them the sanden 708 uses refridgerent oil and thats it, ill be doing edc this winter and ill take pics and full details and maybe can be used as a tech

i would love to do that to my ac compressor please keep us posted on that

yeah im doing the same thing in my mazda with the stock ac compressor, my boy justin who owns intense customs has it done and uses an oiler, im going to use an oiler also just to be on the safe side, i would not want it to crap out and be stuck with no air, i also kept one of my 450's as a back up, i too will post when it is all said and done

You must oil these compressors! Please do not use them without an oiler, or you will be stuck w/o air. The only compressors that really do not need an oiler are the Yorks. These compressors have a built in oil sump that lubricates the internals. However, these units must be checked for level or they too will eventually fail. All Sanden's will need oil suplied to them via an oiler since they do not have an internal sump. These and all current compressors, are lubricated by oil mixed with refridgerent. The factory compressor wil make for a clean trouble free install, just be sure to use an oiler. Additionally, these compressors will spit oil into your air lines so protect your tank, valves, etc. by installing an oil and water trap after the compressor. You'll want to find a trap with large fittings, like 1/2" to maintain air flow to your tank.
Just my 2 cents...

wheres the best place to get the oiler set up??

also, are the air and oil separators separate or will a water trap do both?

some only trap water...
I'd look for one that does both.
I think SMC makes one.

concerning the oiler... I do not have a good source for that.
I am using a York so I don't have to worry about it.
Check

I saw an oiler and water trap in one unit at Northern Tool today.
Hope that helps.

sweet, I will check on that.
