im jsut trying to find small valves. i have 1/2 smcs in my other car, but for my 53 i want it slowwer. like 1.5 lift/drop time. i know air ride tech has some manifold valves that are relatively slow, but like hell im paying their prices. any ideas?

Would you consider going 1/4" valves all around? I think thats the best way to a slower system.

 

[yodawagon]

sure

when i had 1/4" it was a lot slower than 1.5 seconds, it was painfully slow to lift lol and not much better to drop, that was with manual valves so the orifice inside the valve was much smaller than 1/4". it never leaked though! why not just go 3/8" and just run air to all the valves using just one line off the tank, that way they have to share a line when you want to lift so it'll slow it down? dunno, just throwin ideas out there

how about do everything 3/8, since its the most common and about the cheapest. you could do 1 of 2 things....

1. put a slow down in the line for the bags (after all the valves) this will controll both the lift and drop speed.

2. put a slow down between the air tank and the valves, so it only affects the lift speed. then get smc adjustable drop slowdowns for the dump valve. (dunno the exact name, but suicidedoors.com sells them)

check out the Digital Stealth Valve, it's from slam specialties it will give you the best of both worlds fast and slow I got these in 3/4 and they work good I can send you a vid of fast and slow if you want.


slam specialties

just click on valves and then more information and it'll tell you about them, it dont matter what size line you got on slo, but fast will depend on your lines

Use 3/8" smc's they are respectibly slow and really reliable.... I've never had one fuck up and I've sold tons of them. Run the with 3/8" line and you'll have a perfect setup..

those digital slams are nice, but not 77 dollars a piece nice. what i thought about doing is run 3/8 smcs but use 1/4 line.

run 3/8s and put some slow downs on the dump

i'd run a 3/8 setup, with ball valves between the tank and valves that way you can dial in how fast the air flows to the bags, then put some of that adjustable mufflers on the dumps you could dial it in to be as fast as a 3/8 system, or as slow as to he point of not lifting
