Re: A/C compressor to power air-bag Suspension?

There is a long thread on some S10 forum I read about using sanden compressors (google something like "official sanden thread"). From what I've gathered, if you get the right compressor, there just about as fast as the 210 yorks, but I guess they have an issue trying to push large volume tanks to higher pressures, for those trying to hop or something...

I'd really like to run an sanden becuase I think they look a lot better than the yorks. March Performance Pulleys is working on a dual alternator serpentine pulley kit that I was going to try and see if I could copy and have a dual A/C compressor setup instead.


There is an amazing amount of info about Sanden A/C compressors on the internet, it's mind boggling. Here are a couple of links to help get you going if you're interested in going the sanden route.

This site can tell you what compressors come on what vehicles...

This part of Sanden's website is great for looking up model numbers and getting specs on different compressors...

And if you're junkyardin for the compressor, here's a good site that will help you find what other vehicles have the same part...

Good luck...
