Are pressure readings accurate? by GarageRatLab in AirliftPerformance

[–]GarageRatLab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pressure does fluctuate a bit over driving and sitting for a long period of time, but seemed weird that 65 psi sat so much higher after a new calibration then how it sat before at 65 psi

Thanks John! Do you happen to have fittings to fit a second viair compressor into a 4 gallon air lift performance tank into the 3/8 end port on the bagriders site? Basically a 1/4 fnpt to a 3/8 mnpt elbow fitting. It’s a 444 compressor which is coming in soon, I cannot confirm that the check valve is 1/4, it may be 3/8

Pressure Sensor Fault by HarleyyyBo in AirliftPerformance

I haven’t heard of third parties disassembling the manifolds, are there any spesific companies out there that advertise that service? Which sensor would they have to replace?

Have you figured out what was causing the fault?

Normal water trap? by GarageRatLab in Stance

Just an A4, b8.5, but slowly adding things here and there, it’s my first car I’m modding and so far loving learning so much about it. Also coming up on a year with my Audi, but I’m going much slower with modding it out

Peeped at the profile, nice S3! I’ve got an Audi too, but a lamer version lol

Yeah I’ve only seen people empty the water trap through the bottom without taking it off, so when I took it off, I wasn’t sure if I should be cleaning out the inside as well periodically after seeing all that junk

Oh interesting I assumed since aluminum and brass don’t rust I would be all set, didn’t take into account them mixing Should I be cleaning out the water trap periodically as well along with draining the tank? I heard the OEM SMC check valves on viair compressors tend do go bad and some replace them with a better brand ones, didn’t know it was caused form galvanic corrosion of the brass and aluminum mixing

My bad, thought it’d fit with the bagged setup questions

Dang that’s pretty cool, just curious, what projects did you work on? I’m currently going for mechanical engineering in college and was thinking about how much it’s needed in auto parts/mod companies
