cornfed Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I think Meade uses nitrogen. You can see the bottle in his Honda rebuild post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty959 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 The compressor shouldn't do much. All it does is keep the tank filled. What makes it jump faster is how fast you can fill the bags. So this includes a tank that is big enough to fill the bags without losing a lot of pressure, and lines ect that can move the air into the bags quickly. So bags with the bigger ports etc would be what you would need.

wysiwyg Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Higher psi will make you lift faster. bigger lines and proper plumbing will also help majorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Higher psi will make you lift faster. bigger lines and proper plumbing will also help majorly. exactly.....Higher PSI but just like amps if your going to run a lot of pressure you should have at least 1/2" lines and if your a PLAYER (which im not) then you go bigger like 3/4". The nitrogen allows me to use a regulator to crank it up as high as safely possible usually less than 300lbs. Most standard compressors wont like you filling your tank to 300lbs so the bottle comes into play then. On the daily when not tryin to get off the ground, 170lbs and a compressor with large enough tank should be fast enough for most. Id say over 200lbs and your startin to get "snappy" In the honda on a fresh bottle i stay around 220 or so and when the bottle is empty im back to 170 land. for the record MOST standard kits use a 145lb regulator and thats it. 145 is not very fast at all.

sinwagon Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 There are alot of factors that will help with the speed on your airride system. The closer the valve is to the bag, the faster it will fill. The higher the pressure, the faster it will be. If you are running a bottle, helium is a lighter gas and will lift the vehicle twice as fast as nitrogen.The compressor is for system recovery. The higher the CFM rating, the faster will fill your tank. The higher percent duty cycle, the longer that it can run. And of course, you need to pay attention to the PSI rating. If it is a 150 PSI pump, you can expect problems if you are running at 180PSI! The compressor doesn't have anything to do with the speed of the vehicle lifting or lowering.
