most of the sites recommend york... my runner ac has never worked since i have had it but the compressor works and turning it to onboard aair for pumping tires would be more useful then a broken ac in the winter.... does anyone know if the yota compressor can handle it?? i will add and oil line and trap

You need to edit that

im pretty sure that wouldnt work but if it did that would be cool

you might be able to get mizombie to tell you about the air set up he did on his truck if he is not to busy.
when I got a door from him he showed me his pump set up on his truck looked like it will work real well.

bigt

why wouldnt it work???i was thinking if you go from after the reciever there is fitting right on it.... i wouldnt be using it 100percent duty cycle just incase i need airing or something...from what i can gather in research the only difference on york and the yota compressor is york needs no oil added...

nate V

sounds neet
good luck if you get it working let us know
that would be a very cool mod

bigt

yeah.. im currently gathering fittings and an air tank...i have a few refrigeration technition buddies that said they would help me do it up.... stupid winter getting in our way!!

Hmm. I'm curious about this.

I agree that its funny that people will actually remove their toy AC and put in a york.

While part of me thinks there is a reason, another part thinks it will work just fine, and that people just do the York because they have no idea what they are doing.

I think you are on to something here BigT. Please keep this thread updated.

If you can, please include Part Numbers so others can do this should it work out well.

As for 100% duty, that is EXACTLY what the point of engine belt drive compressors. You are SUPPOSED to do 100% duty cycle. That is what makes these so much better than a standard electric pump.

You will have to keep adding oil or it will burn up. Tires will be full of oil. IMO. IDK if they have to have freon to stay running as well.<for pressure.

You can filter the oil out after the compresed. I don't see hwy not the only thing is volume. AC pumps are not designed for a lot of volume also they are not very efficient at high pressure because they are usually a sliding vane style pump (designed for vacuum mostly). The york my be a hylical gear style (supercharger,blower) or piston pump. Not sure though.

i wanna say yorks are piston, but i dont know. pretty much any a/c pump can work. some are obviously better though. im gonna do the same on my ramcharger for the air suspension. yorks have their own oiling system separate of the freon. but even with those its a good idea to have an oil/water trap. run an oiler in front, and trap after and you should be good. wire the clutch to a toggle switch or pressure switch, and you should be all set. as far as basics go anyways.

i know someone who did it with his stock jeep AC compressor, works great. he doesn't add or remove any oil.

older jeeps had yorks though i believe.
