anyone ever us a 1 pump setup on a mini? howd it turn out?
I THINK WOULD BE LIKE HAVING A BAG SYSTEM WITH ONE FILL VALVE
it would work fine but you would only be able to lift the whole truck up together then dump it front and back independantly. not that cool and a wast of hydros if you ask me.
you will need to buy a manifold or have 5 or 8 dumps. it would be easyer if you got a prohopper manifold, but with the price of it you could have a 2 pump system. if its space your worried about space go for a manifold. i have one at the house i would sell cause its not bein used. it isnt a prohopper. its a 5 dump with very quality dumps. with a 5 dump you get all the moves besides see-saw. if your interested pm me for more info and pics
do two pumps one pump sucks bad.
a hydraulic installer once told me if you run one pump that ity tends to run dry cuz it cant hold enough fluid for the whole suspension i would go with 2
gotta make a bigger oil tank and after one dump you gotta y it to the two cylinders in front then dump for rear y'ed for those two cylinders, works quite fine if you just wanna lift a little and ride low.
i have seen cars on 8 in cylinders in the front and 10 in the rear locked up with a standard tank. just gotta make sure it doesnt leak and your good. space would be the only reson to do a one pump,unless you want the moves of 4 pump without the price,it will not be as fast though
a standard tank will fill the cylinders just fine.when i had my one pump on the back of my truck it was running to two 18 inch cylinders and never ran out.its just that if you are using a one pump one dump set up the truck will sway very dangerously on the road,keep this in mind"for every pumps there are 2 dumps".so if you have a one pump two dump then go for it but only for front or back use.
thats why mannifolds are nice. each cylinder has its own line and dump so it will not tranfer oil when goin through turns. i dont know if i would want to have one dump for the front. if your doin a hopper it wouldnt be bad becouse the springs are so heavy and your not gonna drive fast with a hopper anyway
