I want to upgrade my air system on my truck. I cerenly have a 5 gallon tank with a viair 380c. I want to put in a 9 gallon along with my 5 to make a total of 14 gallons but I plan on up grading to another 9 later to make a total of 23 gallons.
what compressor can pump 23 gallons of air to 150 psi.
I was thinking that dual 450c would that do the trick or should I upgrade to dual viair 480c for a extra $60 and would have to buy a 150 psi switch witch will be a extra $30. I really really would like to keep the cost down as much as possible
also I would have to sell my viair 380c to pay for the new compressor so i would no longer have that
Yes, VIAIR compressors can be rebuilt. -Hornblasters has been repairing their customers’ pumps for some time now.
Just find out what you need, and give Hornblasters a call. If you’ve not sure, ask me.
If you plan to increase your storage capabilities, you are smart to also upgrade your compressor(s). Since the 380C pulls fewer amps than any 200 PSI rated compressor on the market, you may want to add two more of them to your setup. Always use a relay for each compressor. Our Dual Packs come with a new pressure switch and a relay right with the package.
Three 380Cs will pull 45-48 amps peak - a draw that most vehicles can handle without an alternator upgrade.
With this setup, it would take approximately 4-1/2 minutes, to fill 20 gallons. (Even though I can’t understand why anyone needs so much air on demand… That’s why you have compressors.)
