i want to add 2 more viair 389's and another 5 gallon tank, how would i wire it all up?  and if i wanted to put some 5/8 valves on there and i have 1/2 inch airline... well could i do it??? someone who knows....let me know..thanks |

Are you talking about how to wire it up electricaly or plumbing wise?

Take a look at this man. www.bagginit.com/tech.html It has the electrical schematic if your using relays on your compressor. For plumbing I would draw something out with everything you got and go from there. Im guessing your going to have one compressor for each 5 gallon tank. I would hookup one compressor per tank, attach your valves on one of the tanks and have your airlines running out from that. Then have a line going from one tank to the other so you can share the air space and use both tanks. You can plug the second tank up with plug fittings. Hope that helps man... |

well, that would work ok..but if you've ever tried to run 8 valves off a 5 gallon tank...you'd know what a bitch it is. You have to disassemble all 8 valves (the solenoid assembly is too big, you cant spin the valves to install them). Plus, a tank full of plugs looks gay..lol. I'd run 4 valves per tank, plug the ports that you're not using, and link the 2 tanks like Frank said...
When you say 2 more Viairs, that leads me to the assumption that you're already running 2. You're going to need to upgrade all your wiring (I'd run 0 or 2 gauge back to a distribution block, then 10 out to each compressor to cut down on voltage drop), and make damn sure your charging system is up to par, because those 4 comps will be drawing close to 70 amps total peak...
Also, with 1/2" line, there is no reason to run anything larger than a 1/2" valve. It's not going to flow any faster, they'll just take up more space and cost you more money. Most setups I run with 1/2" line get 3/8" valves, mostly because the internal orifice of the 1/2" line is only 3/8" anyway, so there is no need to run anything larger.

Mabey u should try and go with a edc to lower some of the voltage. I know 4 compressors would be extremly loud and annoying. Just an idea though. |
