I've been looking at putting onboard air on my truck. The cost of air compressors seems a little more than I want to spend for something that can effectively inflate tires and possibly run air tools.

I ran across guys installing the York 210 compressors on their trucks and it seems like a pretty good solution. Question is, has anyone been able to install one on their 100?

Here's a rough example:
 
IIRC I think Dan (@spressomon) did. Do a search and you should find it.
 
No space in a 100 w/2UZ-FE engine bay for a York...I wish. A York really needs to sit vertically or very near so to contain the oil. Next best is a Sanden. But unless you really need/want unlimited ~10cfm motor driven source of compressed air, especially all things Sanden (unlike the York the Sanden doesn't have a sump so removing the downstream oil is more complicated/potentially expensive if that is a concern) electric powered is less expensive and easier to deal with overall...

Ahh, my bad - it was a Sanden.
 
That is too bad. The York seems like a pretty good setup for onboard air once you get it setup properly on your engine. Thanks for the info. I guess I'll go with something electric instead.

Another question while we're on this topic. What is a good size air tank and where did you put it?
 
If for airing up tires a tank apart of any typical LC OBA system really won't offer much if any benefit. OTOH air powered tools are generally air volume hogs so more storage is better.

If your OEM spare location is free this would be a good location for a tank/tanks. Or with a spare fuel tank occupying that space on mine I resorted to a couple 1-gallon tanks squeezed between the frame rails and the sliders. FYI: The compressor only "sees" total air storage...whether its one tank or many. Slider tubes and/or creative use of interior bumper cavities are other storage location options.
 
I have been carrying this set up in my Syncro for awhile and now I plan to throw it in the back of the LC when I get her out on the trails

Only mods I made were to extend the clips that you attach to the battery and bought a longer air hose. Handles tires up to 37", portable so you can move it to a buddies rig without haveing to get yours close. If you or someone else has a tank on a long trip easy to refill. Comes with a bunch of different adapters. I have used it to inflate 33's on a buddies jeep while the guy next to him was still trying to air back up with his on board air.
Combine this with a tank and you should be more than fine ...
 
If interior space is precious, as it is with my rig, this ARB has worked out very well for a few installations I've done for buddy's trucks. Tank or tankless installs. http://store.arbusa.com/ARB-On-Boar...olt-Twin-Air-Compressor-CKMTA12-P21341C9.aspx

It was the lack of interior space relative to how and where I use my 100 that sponsored my "necessity is the mother of invention" for my engine driven OBA. But that was before ARB intro'd their CKMTA12. Having said that I'm addicted to my 10cfm...its almost as fast as my former CO2 Powertank for filling tires. And no load on the battery...;)

The Vivair might be my solution. I was looking at the twin pump ARB but at $500+ it's not worth the cost vs the speed.

Ideally, I would like to have some air tank storage but last time I was under my rig, it didn't look like there was a lot of room. The spare location might be a solution but only after I get my rear bumper (and that's not for awhile).

I might go with the portables for right now.
 
benc: The Viair is rated at 1.66 CFM @ 0 PSI, ARB Single is rated at 3.08 CFM @ 0 PSI, ARB Twin is rated at 6.16 CFM @ 0 PSI :D

To put that in perspective, my plug-in tool compressor is rated at 2.7 CFM @ 20 PSI
 
But its the under load rating stat that is more useful...who uses 0 psi?
 
It's good to know about the comparison between the Viair and the ARB.
 
The ARB is rated for 4.65 cfm at 29 psi. The big benefit though in my opinion is its 100% duty cycle and the redundancy two compressor motors provides.

I love mine. The only compressor I'd consider in its place might be one of the extreme aire models.

I ran the viair with a 5gal air tank for years and I will say the air tank is not worth it unless you need /want to run air tools. And even with the air tank you will only get short bursts with air tools. I would have to remember to turn on the compressor about 15-20 min before I wanted to air up to fill the tank and the first tire was fast but after the first the tank was empty. Mind you, I was running 37s on 15s but it's still a very slow setup.
I am much happier with the single arb with no tank than the viair with the tank.
My friend has the twin arb and I was not as impressed as I thought I would be. His filled the same tire about 50 seconds faster than the single.
I would rather have two single arbs and fill 2 tires at once. And if anyone is wondering, yes I had the proper gauge wire.
 
The price seems a little excessive for the twin ARB IMO.
 
There is a way to drain the oil and add a grease fitting onto a Sanden (filling the case with grease instead) and avoid most of the oil in the air problems.

Seems like a pretty easy conversion. I am going to do it because my 12V compressor keeps blowing fuses and can never make enough air.

A 5 piston Sanden on ebay is under $100. Seems like a no brainer, unless I am missing something.

I have both, the viair and arb single compressor and the arb in much faster!

No doubt it should be based on the specs... But if an onboard isn't what you want I have had great luck with the Viair product line.. I was always wondering if you could just turn the ARB into a portable set up dropping it on a plate and some connectors for the battery hook up ....hummm
