I'm new to the air ride systems, been thinking about putting one on my '64 impala and decide to go wit one but now just as i was going to do it i see a air ride system on a 64 impala with a nitrogen tank hook up to the air tank of the air ride system??? please some one explain this one to me? why is there a nitrogen tank hook up to the air tank?

Nitrogen (ng2) Is A More Compressible Gas, Than Air Could Ever Be
Actually Nitrogen Is Air 's Big Brother While Standard Air Systems
Can Only Generate 150 To 200 Psi Nitrogen Can Reach Pressures Well
Up 3000 To 5000 Psi Easy, Caution Should Be Taken With Nitrogen It
Does'nt Like High Heat Or Welding Near It Kaboom!!!

thanks for the info. and sorry it's taken me so long to respond, but how do you or would you regulate the pressure that nitrogen tank is putting out? And isn't that dangerous to run if it could possibly blow up? I mean i'm in texas where we got 3 seasons: hot, hotter, and damn cold..... And the cold ain't but a month and a half!

I Just Told You What Nitrogen Is Capable Of , If The Nitro Bottle
Was Plumbed Into The Air Tank Like You Described , It Had To Have A
Regulator Valve Similar To The Ones Used On Argon Bottles For
Welding. Most Nitro Bottles Do Come With 3000psi Standard Unless
You Ask For 5000 Psi Bottles. You Cant Just Pipe Nitro Any Tank Without Knowing How Much That Tank Can Hold Otherwise You Will
Pop The Tank , As For The Heat I Would Be Hesitant Selling You A Nitrogen Bottle To Put In Your Trunk If The Temp. Is 110 Degrees Outside Its Got To Be A Lot Hotter In The Trunk, But I Will Check With My Nitro Dealer To See If He Can Get Me Maximum Temperature
On The Tanks, Im Sure People Still Put Them In Their Car Trunks Without Knowing The Dangers Texas ,arizona And New Mexico Would
Be Hot Areas. One Other Thing Is If You Wanted A Nitro Bottle Or Pre-charged Accumulator With Nirogen Ups Will Not Ship By Air Be-
Cause Of The Danger Of Explosion.

so what is the advantages of using the nitro tank in a bag system? and do they sale a system, kit that can with stand that type of pressure, like these fast bag kits? or would it be better for me to just piece it together myself? and will the nitro make these kits faster like hyros?

[spence]

the advantages would be of course a faster responce, anytime you can get
a combination of high pressure and high flow weather it be air or fluid ,things
are going to move fast. Iam putting together a set-up to use on air rides it
will probably take 2 months to finsih it . my thinking is it should fill an 8 gallon
tank in under a minute. so im looking for a guinea pig to try it on,since my 19 year old son wont let me try it on his 94 intgera .you will need to install your
own air bags and have someone install the system , I will be willing at least to
go half the cost on the system. if you are interested please respond ?

[wannabe]

Sure, but what would I need exactly? Would I need a whole system? Do I just need the bags? Let me know what it is that you are willing to come up with and what I need (i.e. valve size,ports size,compressor type). Where are you located?

[spence]

you are going to need someone to install your own bags and air lines,wiring
and switches . I'll go half with you on the tank and the special air pump, it
will be fully assembled and ready to install of course you will have pay for
the install as well. I just need someone to give me feedback on how good or bad it works ? I live in whittier calif. if you have any other questions you can email me at smorales@spencer-ind.com

geta EDC (engine Drven Compressor)man its an unlimited supply fo air becuase the compressor is mounted to your engine. doesnt use any of your electrical system (except for the Pressure switch) and fills tanks ina matter of seconds. ive seen people filla 12 gal tank in aminute and half. look at airlift or on streetsourcemag.com just go to the forums and search "EDC"
