what would be a good size nitrogen tank to use?

 

Honeslty, I would invest in a second compressor before I considered nitrogen on an xB. You don't need the additional pressure available with nitrogen, and you'll save a lot of money in the long run by paying for an additional compressor instead of air fills.

If you insist on some sort of compressed air, I would consider going with a SCUBA tank because of the more compact size. Also, if you purchase a steel tank you can run 3500 psi as opposed to 3000 psi in an aluminum tank.

As far as my qualifications to speak on compressed air systems... I ran nitrogen on my Dakota way back when. As well as using it as my ONLY air source for a while. I have installed and worked on countless air suspension systems as well. I am also a certified advanced SCUBA diver. So I know a little bit about that side of things as well.

 

thanks for the info! i never thought of useing a scuba tank i was thinkin of a nos tank but a scuba tank is alot easier for me to get here in hawaii.... and i really wanna add another compresser but 2 AZs pull alot of amp... and with my stereo i dont think it will work out....

 

alot of compressors pull alot of amps im running 2 viair 420s and they bogg down when my car is at idle and as long as my rpms are at 1 grand they run fine

i have one of these (batcap 400) that is going to be used for my stereo amps. could this be hooked up to my copressers and help....

 

not really
it may be too much for the cap
you would just have to check the rating on the cap

 

rather than buy new valves, just get the speed controls like boomster has.

 

Any info or links to these?

there u go!

 

cool!

 

Thanks for the info on the fill valves, looks like I have a new goody list going now.

 

compressors are way too slow go get a co2 tank and convert nozzle to nos so cops won't know your running nos, way way faster and you get a better and smoother ride than just air, because there is no fluctuation in psi and also pump nitrous in tires too for also a better ride That's what the army does for their suspension and tires

 

I think I should clear a couple things up. First and foremost, NEVER RUN CO2. There is absolutely no reason for it and you will end up putting moisture through your system. (More so than compressors.) This is the reason why you used to see minitruckers running tanks slanted on an angle back in the early days of experimenting with different gasses for air suspension.

Second, forget running nitrous as well. NO ONE in their right mind runs nitrous in an air suspension system. If you insist on running a compressed gas other then air, run NITROGEN. This is not the same as nitrous.

I am pretty sure that Nitrogen is what "06charger" meant to post about. Nitrogen is relatively inexpensive, does not introduce moisture like compressed air and CO2, and is more stable (pressure wise) relative to temperature variance.

I've run Nitrogen in the past on my truck, and I would run it again on a larger vehicle. I just do not think that it is necessary on an xB. Then again, I don't think any compressed gas tank is necessary for an xB.

And as I mentioned above, if you insist on running some sort of compressed air tank, I would go with a steel SCUBA tank. These are small tanks that can easily fit in the hatch area and store over 90cf of compressed air at 3500 psi. More than you would typically get out of a nitrogen bottle.

 

Out of curiosity, how much weight do these systems add?

Let's say, one 3 gallon tank with 3/8" lines?

Also, how hard is it to mount this stuff underneath the car?
