was wondering how everyone is turning thier a/c compressors into air pumps what all is needed?

I didnt even know this was possible.

I am curious.

I've heard about this as well, but sorry, I don't have a clue on where to begin. I was thinking, after converting the a/c compressor to an onboard air compressor, the a/c button will no longer stand for "air conditioner," but rather, "air compressor!" haha

Basically, you disconnect the lines, get rid of the freon, add oil, hook up hoses, and plumb your system.

FRORF used to make a kit...dont see it on their site anymore

I guess once you do this, it is by by for the AC..

The type of compressor matters with this. If you've got a self lubricating compressor then you're good to go. If it's not self lubricating then it'll still work but you'll have to add oil from time to time. Most onboard air systems that I've seen use a York compressor either in place of the original AC compressor or in addition to it. I'm new to 'yotas so I don't know anything about their compressors.

The Toyota compressor is not self lubricated. You'll have to continuously add oil. An inline oiler is the way to go.

I used this diagram to fab my onboard Air and it works great

hosh

york compressors are the easiest way to do it. with them you can add to or replace your ac.

If you do not use a compressor with its own oil supply, you have to add an inline oiler.

the only two compressors you want to look at (other than electric) are sanden and york.

the sanden's rob less horsepower than other compressors and are smaller than most. but they need an inline oiler.

the yorks are bigger but need no oiler.
