well so far i got 2 12 gallon tanks, a 10 switch pre-wired switch box and extension which all i got from fernando, a craftsman 175 pro. compressor, a coleman 2000 watt inverter, and a lincoln 250 max psi filter with 1/2" inlet and outlet(max 150 degrees....believe this should hold up in the trunk, what do you guys think?
any how, my thing is with the compressor!!! its bad ass!!!! it takes about 7 1/2 minutes to fill up 25 gallons of air from 0-170/5 (yea thats a long time), but it only takes about 1 minute to fill up from 130-170/5. i dont know much about compressors and the time it takes them to fill up tanks, but im going to be running 24 gallons and this compressor can fill a 25 gallon tank from 130-170/5 psi in 1 minute!! umm, that good or what?
i say 170/5 because the dumb compressor is rated at 175 but shuts off at about 170/1/2..something like that.
i hooked up the compressor with the inverter to the battery on my imp, but it only worked up to about 1/3 the power its supposed to be running at. the red light indicating the power going into the inverter was too low, was on the entire time i tried it out, then after about 20 seconds or so the inverter shut down beeping the low voltage warning beep.
the battery on my impala only puts out about 675 cold cranking amps or so, so im thinking if i get maybe 2 or 3 rated at about 1000 amps each, hopefully it can handle the compressor.
im going to be getting the rest of my setup in the first week of september ($1200: 4 slam bags, 8 1/2" valves, all hose and fittings, front and rear brackets, 10 more switches that are not wired, when i get my financial aid check from school jeje..). then hopefully should have it installed and going by the end of september; my friend roberto is doing it for me.
