The length of the compressor filling also depends on how big your tank is. A smaller tank will be quicker to fill and some people even run 2 compressors to fill the tank up quicker thus causing the compressors to run for shorter and generate less heat while doing so.

Also correct. I'm using a single compression and a 7 gallon tank, so it's not the quickest setup by any means.

honestly yours seems shorter then what i was expecting. does anyone have any input on the base kit with the 380c pump and 5gal tank on run times and noise?

On another note what did you guys pay for your systems, you can pm me if you like, I got a quote the other day and it was $5300 installed...is it really that expensive?

 

[Tobyboom]

Holy crap!!! Yeah, to me that is waaaay too much. I did the install by myself in one day in my garage. If you can do a spring swap, you can install the bags, it's all pretty straight forward.

Check you PM's

Check you PM's

I did, thanks Nick but I don't have the money for an air system...

What we do for our Airlift customers is recommend two compressors and a 5 gallon tank. The noise annoying but the fill up time is cut in half now.

Dual compressors is not needed at all let alone a 5 gallon tank. Both are an over kill and just not need. My previous car ran a 4 gallon with a 380c and that was a little long but it was fine. This car runs a 3 gallon seamless and a 444 and its perfect.
The fill up time is quick and with having such a small tank it leave a ton of room in the trunk to still be used for storage.

That's what i'm thinking. I'm looking to do a setup in the spare wheel well so everything is hidden and my trunk has all the space for suitcases etc. a 3gal seamless tank and a 444 should be more than enough. Do you have the 1/4" or 3/8" lines? I see you can get kits with either setup from Bagriders. guess the size of the lines would make a difference to how quickly it fills up too.

All you need for a car is 1/4 lines. The size of the air line doesn't have any factor in how fast it fills your tank just how fast the car airs up.

On another note, do the bags air out when you turn the car off? Or do they only air out if you press the button.
I would find it quite annoying if every time i got out of the car it aired out and i had to wait to fill it up again.

They do not air out when you turn the car off.

There's no "waiting" for anything when you get back in the car. Once the car starts, it automatically raises to your #1 preset and you're off. It's literally 3 seconds. Of course the compressor will run for a minute or two after that, but that doesn't keep you from driving.
