I've always wandered how to do this I've heard of it but have never seen it, is it a easy set up or cheap? I can't find any good video to see how it's done

 

I have done it in my jeep. cost me around 150 but I bought everything including the tank brand new. ill see if I can find my pics later today

 

google a.c. to oba conversion

 

Cool thanks

 

its real easy. get your ac drained. cut your lines. intake side needs a air tool oiler adapted to it so the compressor gets oil while running. I ran 2ft of copper tube off the outlet side (trying to cool the air a little before goes into the rubber line) to a water oil separator. then ran 3/8 hose to a manifold that has a 120 psi on 150 psi off pressure switch. a wire needs to run from the switch to the wire on the ac pump. and a positive wire from a switch inside the cab.to the pressure switch. I then ran a hose out front to the bumper and ran a hose under the jeep to a semi air tank that is bolted in the back.

 

Can u post some pics? That would be awesome!

1/2 way down the page are the pics of mine.

 

I wish u had it set up to where it would look like mine, I have a 99, thanks!

 

Mine is set up just like oleblues. same oiler.

 

I ran my old xj just with a hose off the ac pump back to a tank. Quick easy cheap lol it lasted for a long time. Plus if it ever did burn up from no oil or sucking dirt, they are super cheap at the junk yard

 

Do u have any pics, I'm semi stupid when come to under the hood, I mean I can do maintenance like nobody's business lol

 

I don't, I dont have that jeep anymore. I may do it to my new one but my ac works lol. All I did was cut both hoses, turn it on found the one that blows out. Took a air hose slide it over the ac tube, hose clamped it an ran it down to the back. Its simple an works. Im aure ppl are going to say its a ****ty way tk do it. But hey it works its cheap an mine never blew up

 

Haha true true, I cut my hoses last yr I had to replace my heater core so my ac isn't connected anyway, was going to fix it then heard about the oba so I bagged that lol

 

I cut them right behind the pump left about 1.5 2 inches of tube

 

I found a nice set up on a different forum, it looked nice and professional, he did it for about $150 ran the airlines front and back
