OBA AOB Endless Air etc. options for diesel 80's

[sunrk]

Here in oz there used to be two mobs doing on board air stuff but it's always been based on modifed Sanden AC compressors, not the York compressor that's popular with USA people.

I've got no idea at all what sort of air compressor is common on big rigs, but they've all got one.

Also here in oz most 80's are diesel with 1hz or 1hdt the most common motors.

Has anyone looked at a York-style setup for 1hz/1hdt/1hdft type diesel motors in 80 series at all?

Have you ever looked at the Puma 12volt system?

 

[Qball]

How about arb twin air? Or even twin twin air!

Sanden type compressors will still be kicking around in wreckers yards if you figure out which vehicles to look for.

There was a really detailed thread on the Aussie patrol forum on how to modify the sanden compressors. The reason they were used is you can seal then internally to create a lubricated sump.

You can use a Denso compressor, but need to manually add some lubricant from time to time.

12 volt compressors have improved to the point where fabricating a belt driven set-up is not worth the effort for occasional use

1HD-T + A/C + York

York 210 + AC on 1HD-T

Pics are gone, @asutherland might still have them?

I’ve been asked several times to produce a York 1HD kit.

I think a York is still the “king of the hill” as long as you have a storage tank. I just sold my Puma, good little compressor, but definitely not a York! So now I’m carrying co2, until I can piece together another York (honestly probably going to be Denso for price and ease of finding!)

Still waiting!! Get to work!!!!!

So I buy your Quarter panel mount for a ARB twin, because there isn't a easy enough York option, now you roll out a York 1HDT kit to get my money twice? Are you Satan?

No...but I could introduce you

 

[yotakrawler]

I would buy a 1hdt kit.

Odds of it happening? If unlikely I will go ahead and purchase an ARB twin, but I'd rather have a York.

Odds would be better if I had access to one TBH

Bit of a thread bump but just trying to gauge if there’s any interest for a York 210 conversion kit for a 1HDT/1HZ 80 series which retains the aircon compressor?

Im just in the process of building a kit for my 80 series and have been making copies of the brackets as I go. If there’s suitable interest I can draw and 3D print a kit to confirm fitment before getting a proper mount laser cut. It would be a bolt on solution although you would need to source your own York pump.

Not sure on pricing but would guess around $250aud (ballpark, would depend on number of kits etc). Will try and post up some pics this weekend...

Cheers

I'm super interested and I wouldn't mind a bit to cut and build the bracket myself in my shop. The truly hard work is getting the fitment right, other than that it's just a bracket. I'd be willing to buy the the drawings off you and you wouldn't have to organize a thing or take any risks!

Yeah, for $425 is probably worth the headache to get their mounting system. I've definitely spent some time holding an old AC compressor trying to figure how it would fit and it's not obvious. As an engineer this is the kind of thing worth 3D modeling and getting right the first time, but unfortunately you'd have to draw up all the models and that would likely take as long as trial & error bracket welding.

Aren't they just using a modified sanden/AC compressor? Seems like you could find one that would fit locally instead of spending $600+shipping on their compressor....?

Currently working with a guy thinking hard about ordering the bracket and using my compressor.

I have the modded V belt compressor the same as the picture for ~$400 free shipping.

 

[jellis]

That brings the installed setup to $825 + shipping the mounting kit from AU.......that's probably break-even with the price of an ARB twin after you fuss with the wiring and fuses for it.

Wouldn't you need to swap pulleys on either the AC/balancer or that compressor so they could all run on the same loop together?
