Im waiting on 2 fitings then I can finally test this beast out, waiting on my barb fitting to come and one more fitting for my pressure switch then I can start tinkering with it and see what happens.
If you have a tank pressure gauge I can tell you exactly what will happen.....

** soo true huge difference i love the edc(smilely faces). it beats an electric pump by lots and i still perfer the edc even thought it needs to be filled with oil!!!! very very good upgrade
i just had a thought...
instead of wasting all that oil coming out of the compressor would it be a good idea to reuse it or not?? the only reason i see too not using it is if it has water in it but im not sure if it does or not.
Started plumbing my tank last night got it all ready just gotta install the pump and order the right fitting, immortal what size barb fitting did you use. I got the multi barb 1/4" one but my stock a/c line is pretty big would I have any problems I also got a 1/2" single barb one to but I would have to stretch the hose of it but I would feel more comfortable about not having leaks on the 1/2
Would recommend either 3/8" or 1/2". Keep in mind the EDC should be putting out approximately 9 cfm. I don't think a 1/4" opening is gonna flow that much air without restricting is some. Was trying to think how much cfm a large air powered buffer would use (like what an auto paint shop would have). Those might be more like 5-6 cfm. Anyway, if you have to stretch the rubber hose over the fitting A LITTLE, that would not be bad. But you probably would not want to stretch a 20 year old A/C hose much because it will probably crack.
Looking forward to some pics from you and Mazda23 of your setups (hint hint LOL)
Well I got all the fittings finally for the EDC I got it all plumbed just gotta bolt up the actualy pump to the truck, the barb fitting is actually holding on tighter to the hose than I thought. I cant even get it to attempt to turn.
I tryed tapping a wire from the battery to the pump and hold it on metal to see if i could hear something but nothing lol.
So tommarows obective is to get it on the actual truck, I need to pick up some oil for the inner oiler to.
Sounds good - definately keep us posted. Still lookin forward to some pics
can you just use the a/c compressor that comes stock on the mazda b2200???
