Its only four bolts and a compression fitting so it will be easier to just take them off when I go through some muddy trails or hit a mud hole.
Welcome Justin th HB!
Ya 16 & got a big mother of a truck like that!!! Jeeeez the price of gas has gone up so much over here, all the 16/17yrs drive corsa’s & ford fiestas!!!
Get them horns blasting!!!
I’d use a PTC fitting if I were you. Way easier to get off than a compression fitting.
For the 450 C
5.0 Gallon Tank Fill Rate
0 To 105 PSI 4 Min. 20 Sec.
85 To 105 PSI 58 Sec.
0 To 145 PSI 6 Min. 40 Sec.
110 To 145 PSI 2 Min. 11 Sec.
Its a 400C but never mind I read the description on HB like I should have in the first place and it said it recharged in 1 min 38 sec. Might have to get another compressor.
how would you like filling 5 gallons from 0 to 150 PSI in 55 seconds?
That would be cool, but not $1300 cool. lol
Thats waaaaaay out of my budget.
You know, I have a K3 and what I did was use the 2 ports on the ends of the manifold for my air setup. I run 2 1/2" lines to the manifolds where it drops to a 3/8" port (3/8 x 2 = 3/4" line?) You can get all of the fittings from any good hardware store.
Wait so you dont have to plug it into the bottom of the manifold?
Could I get a pic of where you ran the lines to?
Hey Big Chevy,
If you click on the thumbnail and look in the center of the manifold, you will see the inlet. I have a male in it in this pic. There is one on the back side of the manifold as well.
Just get a 1/2" plug for the bottom inlet.
Is it the same for a k3?
Thats interesting. Did you use a reducer to get the 1/2" down to 3/8" or an elbow? If so, either way, you get a psi drop with them. It doesnt matter what size it amounts to in the end if you restrict the air comewhere in the middle.
BigChevy, the k3 is practically the same manifold as the k5 except without the horns on the end. I dont completely agree with the way n2o has his set up. the manifold is designed for air to flow OUT of those ports not IN. So in other words, it’s like he is backfeeding the manifold which is fine and dandy, but I dont see you getting the potential out of the horn this way. The INLET for these horns is 1/2" pipe thread. Thats a pretty big hole. The manifold disperses the air even (given it’s name) So i would use the INLET as intended.
PS. N20, just my two cents bro, no pun intend. I’ve given your truck its kudos in previous posts. lol.
Yeah im ganna use the port on the bottom, just have to make a braket.
The k3 should be here tomarow, but I cant put it on my truck untill christmas.
Its ganna be a long wait.
Cool. i made my stinkin bracket out of a steel bar that i bought from home depot. 1/4" thick. horn hasnt budged. Locktite the bolts on it, whatever you use.
Would it be ok to use longer bolts and washers to space it down then add a 90* elbow with a compression fitting? It would be alot easier than welding up a bracket.
It would be easier but not more sturdy. I mean you drive off road, you dont want the bumps to shake your horn loose. K3’s weigh about 20-25 pounds. Thats quite a bit to suspend UPSIDE DOWN. think about it.,
hey Kel and welcome…Im from Alabama too so its really nice to have a fellow Alabamian here…you will love it here…its like everyone is your neighbor and always willing to help and/or listen…
lol. Alabamian? Plenty of humor to go around here too. Even though everyone seems like your neighbor, they will still blow their horn at you. lol. And you WONT get mad actually. HORN ON!!!
