You could have a much smaller tank if you did something like this.

Yes and no.
For a smaller set of horns it might work, but an EDC will not feed a set of Shockers or K3 by itself. You still need a tank for air volume, plain and simple.
Now an EDC will refill the tank quickly which is what you’re looking for, unless you get somethine like a VMAC … but those are 20 to 30 thousand dollars.

I never asked for it to feed the horns solely, wouldn’t it make more sense to have something that filled a LOT faster ans was probably cheaper?
u can get a edc for like 1300-2000 that will fill a 8 gallon tank in prolly 10 secs… buddy of mine had one, it filled his poop up QUICK!!
Ouch! :eek: I built my own for less than 200 bucks! 
York 210 - $35 from a junkyard.
1/4" Steel Plate - $15
Pulley - $65
Belt - $10
Misc Bolts - $15
It does pump like a mo-fo! 4cfm at 2000 RPM.
I only have a 3 gallon tank. I didn’t want to give up bed space, or have some big oven air tank hanging down too far. It will keep my shockers honking as long as the engine is idling. After about 15 seconds, there is a gradual decrease in volume as the tank pressure bleeds down. Once the compressor kicks back on - it holds the volume steady, which is still loud.

I think Scaredu was referring to our compressor. Not everyone has the room to add a bracket and pump in their engine compartment but they still want that performance so get a an XD3000.
Yeah… if I didn’t have room in my engine bay, an Oasis would be the next best thing. 
From what I have come to learn, it is very close to being the same compressor. I believe that Oasis does some additional modifications to the compressor to eliminate/reduce the oil blow by that seems to be commonplace with the York 210 when used as an air compressor.
That’s true, ours have oil control rings on the pistons which dramatically reduce the oil discharge to 1 ounce every 50 hours of run time. The standard York will discharge 1 ounce every hour.
If you want just our York pump it sells for $650.
I was looking at putting a York in my F350 but with dual alternators (360Amp) had no room to mount it so I opted for the Oasis.
Good choice!
Does anyone know the optimum RPM and horsepower for the York 210? I can’t mount an EDC on my Hemi for a couple reasons, but I’d be willing to try matching a York 210 up to a 12VDC electric motor and treating it as an electric compressor. I bet it’s good for a lot more CFM than a comparably priced electric compressor.
1200… I think…
The XD3000 uses a 2.2 HP motor that turns it about 1500. That should give you about 8 CFM. Don’t go over 2000 RPM for more than a few of minutes or you could starve the crankshaft & rods of oil.
I couldn’t find any 12VDC motors that would run at 2HP+/- 1500RPM for a reasonable price. Based on the price and what you get, I’d say the Oasis is worth the money.
That being said- I can’t run an Oasis (most of us can’t) without upgrading my power system. I have the battery power, but my stock alternator wont give me the power. My system will-however run a couple Viair’s no problem (it’s running one right now).
It’s something to consider and add to the cost of things.
Dan, Are there any plans for Oasis to offer a smaller unit (XD2000 for example?) Just curious.
We’ve had a few requests for something about 3/4 the size & cost but our engineer has other priorities. Everytime I bring up the subject he says it would be too much of a headache at this time with all of the new stuff he would have setup and it would double our inventory. Maybe someday though.
It can’t be an XD2000 because that was the predecessor to the XD3000.
DC5000 hands down! 
Just joking. I think it is a pretty good compressor, but it only flows 1.5 cfm with a 1/2 hp motor. 100% duty cycle though!
I will probably go pull a York 210 from the junk yard, and mount it up to my 55hp Geo…haha
They do some SERIOUS pumping.
they also discharge a lot of oil
That, and they don’t cost 2k.
You get what you pay for, in all honesty.
