I'm a fan of NGK

NGK plug wires working just fine on our BMW. And that thing don't like NGK plugs.

yeah... as far as i'm concerned, denso is roughly the same as ngk.

my only concern after replacing the plugs are the condition of #3 & #4. they looked like #1 & #2 at 175k... hmmm...

edit: here's what they looked like at ~182k



any ideas, anyone?

Happy Thanksgiving, Ian!

Looks like 1 and 2 are burning hot/pulling rich on one side.... 3 and 4 might be a bit lean? Have you checked the lash since your top end rebuild(+ some) ???? ..........Think you said you had.. Just curious.

I don't care what kind a box my parts come in as long as I get them and undamaged, a box is a box :}LOL

I love getting brand new or new used parts, I just love to get them :}

< I love putting this on my thread :}LOL

Happy Thanksgiving :}

what i realized is that the oasis air compressors are nothing more than a high-torque motor with a york compressor. how about using a 2100 rpm, 4.5 hp winch motor?

hmmm... ideas...

Or a starter motor. Duty cycle is critical.

from what i've read, winch duty cycle depends heavily on electrical system setup. if i'm drawing 100 amps up to 15 ft away (30 ft round-trip), that puts me at 1/0. it should be easy to add a continuous duty circuit with my bus-bar setup.

as for heat, i'll make sure to add a heat sink with fins and a fan (as that's what the oasis compressors have)

i'm not sure about starter motors, for 2 reasons: 1) seems like they'd have a short duty cycle, and 2) they don't have a standard output shaft. with the winch, it's 3/4" keyed, and mcmaster sells pulleys that'll fit

though, it's just an idea. i'll wait a little while longer 'til i start doing this stuff.

RBX

Amp draw is going to be huge with either motor I'm guessing. I think is really cool to make your own oasis.

and for way cheaper

i'm looking at parts now, but i think i could get it under $300 for the whole system

RBX

What about amp draw? I'm guessing you will need to run the engine whenever you spin-up the compressor for more then a few seconds.

yeah, i'll add in an idle-up control like what logan did. just a simple bypass.

thanks but nah... only 0.97 cfm @ 90psi

york: 4 cfm @ 90 psi, running at 1200 rpm (for about the same cost)

ahh see im not even thinking about the a/c compressor oba since i love my ice cold a/c lol. i just came across that last night and thought of it when i saw your post today.

york compressor ($25) + winch motor ($100) = oasis compressor ($2,000)

in other words, i'm making my own $2,000 electric compressor

I'll be sure to follow this i just read about them and did a bit of searching yeah those suckers are spendy
