Where else can I get a york compressor?You can get a new or remanufactured compressor from Autozone (tell the clerk you need an AC compressor for one of the above applications)You can also get one from Kilby Enterprises at www.onboardair.com. Expect to pay $100 without clutches for a york new/remanufactured, and do not pay over 50-60 with clutches from a boneyard. My friend got mine for $23 from a junkyard in daytona beach, and shipped it to me for $10. Total investment = $33

I have my compressor, now what do I need to get it mounted and in place?

Brackets:

You need to mount this thing somehow. Decide weather you want to run it off your alternator, in your serpentine belt rotation, or anywhere else (i have seen driveshaft, but not the best idea, lol).Depeding on what you drive, you may or may not be in luck. Onboard Air and Air Ride Technologies sell brackets for popular applications. Mine was a 1988 4.3L OBS with a 4 groove serpentine setup. There were nopremanufactured brackets for my application, so i was forced to make my own. Remember when making your own brackets, that this thing needs to be solid! I cannot emphisize that enough. When this thing is pumping, there is some serious vibration.

Clutches:

You need to get the proper clutch set for your compressor. You need to decide how you will mount it, and that determines what clutches you will need.If you want to run your york in your serpentine belt rotation, you will need a serpentine clutch . I have a V-belt clutch on my york, because i runa Kilby Combo Pully

I have my york mounted, how do i plumb it?

You need to get some way of converting the rotolock thread flanges to NPT so you can run standard fittings off of it. The easiest way to do this is to order these flanges from onboardair. There are also flanges that screw over the exsisting rotolock thread.

Stainless Braided Line:You NEED ATLEAST 3ft of stainless braided line coming off of the flanges. The air coming out of a york is very hot, and the stainless line helps dissapate the heat. I got 3 ft of stainless line from www.mcmaster.com. Cost = $36.You can get the stainless line from ART, but i do not know the link.

Check ValveThe air coming out of a york is pressurized... duh. To prevent that pressure from coming back and blowing your york up, you need a check valve. You can get check valves just about anywhere. Try larry @ innovative or jason @ suicidedoors.

Fittings and other crapI then run a compression fitting to run my DOT air line off of my check valve. This line then goes into a water trap, which goes into your air tank.You also need an intake filter, because like anything else with a machined surface inside, you need to filter the air before it gets in.



Misc Crap to know about yorks

They spew alot of oil.Because you are converting what once was a closed system into a open system, oil needs to escape somewhere. There are a few options, you can do the Oil Mod, or you can get an oil seperating unit from onboardair.com.Read that Oil Mod link, as it is very informative.

Oil and maintenceBecause of the oil escaping, you need the oil your compressor. I use 30W non-detergent oil, and a kilby dipstick to check to make sure it is full. A full compressor takes around 14 ounces of oil, and the kilby dipstick has a mark in it for every ounce of oil in the compressor.

WiringYou wire your compressor is easy. With anything electrical, there are a few ways of doing it. I prefer mine to be manual, so i can control what RPM's my compressor comes on at, so i just wired a fuse inbetween the clutch wire and a switch that I use to turn the compressor on and off.You can also use a pressure switch if you prefer, but make sure you use a relay. Do not hack wiring.



Here are some of the links that i used to help me with my setup:

A york will pump when spun in either direction. Tis the beauty of an articulating piston design.

Do these compressors need any type of ventilation? If they were mounted in a confined space could they heat up or burn out?
