Edit...

Kilby Enterprises says 4 CFM at 90 psi @ 1200 RPM and capable of over 8 CFM...

This looks pretty awesome Darin. You've got a full cockpit accumulating in that rig! On-board air can be a nice tool no doubt. Not sure how you shoe-horned that thing in the engine compartment, I think your intercooler pipes are obviously a bit different than mine, but it's sweet!

Looks darn sharp! I have a spare pump off a cummins 12 valve bus I have been tooling around on what to do with. I like this setup!

Looking good!
With that amount of air available, I wish I would've added a system to my truck rather than buying a compressor for the shop, lol.

One thing he did was relocate the batteries.

Darin did you ever look into how that compressor has to be mounted. Kilby enterprises says that the inlet for it should be on the top for it to function properly. I just noticed your inlet looks to be on the bottom.

This looks great Darin! I don't know how I've missed this thread til now. Looks great, I can't wait to see how it works for you.

By the way, that sure is one purdy heater hose holder you got there!

Thanks for the comments guys. Those heater hose holders are nice, aren't they Nate.


Nick, I noticed that from kilby before. However my pump has the filler hole on the top as it sits so I don't think it will work that way. We'll see how it goes.

Ya no problem. There always can be hiccups, so if there is one I'll deal with it at the time. I actually got the pump from a member on here that doesn't come on much at all.

You are such a funny guy. I really don't see how you have made it this far in life without getting scooped up by some talent agent that would throw you straight out onto a stage doing stand up comedy! Especially since if you ever ran out of jokes, you could get by on your looks!!!
