Hey guys I haven't really posted much on here. but anyways I'm 21 and I own a 2000 sport, 4.0, 8.25, aw4, 3in lift, and duratracs, great tire btw! my A/C hasn't worked right for a few years now and I've been reading up on oba systems, so I decided to go for it. I only spent just over ten bucks on the build haha. My dad works at an air pump plant and picks up all sorts of pneumatic stuff when they throw out/ recycle things and the other stuff i had laying around the house, so I really lucked out! I used the existing hose off the compressor so I didn't have to get a special one made. My compressor is greased and the intake t's into the air filter. The pressure switch is set at 95/125. My tank is only 1 gallon right now but I'm going to look for a 2.5 soon, it fills that sucker up in 7 seconds right now though! This is by far the coolest thing on my xj at the moment.. If anyone has questions let me know!

Looks pretty good. Here's an idea for an air tank.

No oiler?

He said it was greased so it doesn't need an oiler but I was wondering how you grease it?

Xj88

Wait..maybe I do spot an inline oiler..idk

Looks cool, but won't the intake suck oil up from the motor? ( I don't know which way that valve works lol)

I got the idea for the intake from a write up on jp magazines site. It seems to be working great so far. The compressor comes apart by removing the clutch first and the 8 10mm bolts that hold the pulley assembly on, then there are 6 13mm bolts on the back. If you go greased you must plug a hole in the rear so the grease doesn't get into your air. Look up greased sanden on google and you can find a lot of info on it, the s10 guys do this I guess haha.

Where did you get the pressure switch?

xjman114

My dad got it at work. But check out grainger.com they should have what you need
