  • These air compressor mods are getting out of hand! Tinkering in the shop is one of my favorite way to express a little creative problem solving. Modifying this Napa Maxitrac air compressor has been a great way to do that. In today's video, we destroy the heads, redesign an area between the cylinders and do a speed test against other compressors. Enjoy the video!

    I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! Please do keep modding. I have wondered for years if I disassembled contractors' air compressor. Remote placed the tank with a different shape to fit the vehicle and of course, an inverter / remote battery power supply would be a better option. NOW I'm thinking to do all that but also incorporating your mod ideas.PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, list links or acquisition options for the reeds and more not-so-usual items. THANK YOU Hand

    I love stuff like this! It doesn’t always have to be hardcore fabrication and wheeling. These kinds of projects are perfect for winter.

    Do more for sure. Also be cool to see if a 1 or 2 gal holding tank would help for on-board air style set up

    To be 100% honest Nate, I'm just here to watch you do cool stuff in your shop. The compressor series, off-road trailer, disco build, doesn't matter. We're just happy to see you chasing your dream and sharing it with us along the way 🤘

    I'm here for all the air compressor mods! One of my favorite recent series you've done.

    I'm sick as hell right now too, the wife yelled at me because I was working on the truck the other day. Get better soon brother.

    Keep going. There’s so much more to learn and I haven’t seen anyone explore the limits. One issue you mentioned and I can’t get to work is filling multiple tires at once. I always seem to get really lop sided filling with almost all the air to one tire. I’m down to open 5/16 line with nothing in between aside from tire Chuck with the center stripped open so it’s full flow.

    I think the tougher test that shows the inflators when working harder is from 15 to 30, or 30 to 65 psi. That’s when my inflators have struggled more. The better quality ones always do much better at the higher pressures. The deltas are much closer between inflators that I’ve used, when pressures are lower. Just my thoughts.

    Maybe one giant 1/4" check valve with a light spring directly attached to the intake port would be an idea to increase flow and get rid of the two intake reads all together.

    One thing I love about your channel is that I learn something Every time I watch a video. As a RC car hobbyist, I would even be interested in a electric motor upgrade.

    Can't ignore the groundswell. Your obsession with these is clearly contagious. Thanks and keep going! Looking forward to my DirtLifestyle blueprinted compressor once all the engineering's done!

    Totally on board for more of these. It's a good mix with your regular content. Periodic changes from serious fab is very welcome.

    I love seeing you tinker and your process to improve things. Keep it up!

    I think there is a lot of improvement that can be done with off road air compressors. These compressors are currently designed for a maximum piston backpressure of 100+ psi at 100 amps or so. If you instead designed a system that pulled 100 amps at 35psi you could incorporate a cylinder head with far more volume per stroke. This would maximize the motor name plate power level at lower tire pressures which is where we need it.

    Please continue this series! Very cool to watch your thought process as you are modding.

    I love this series and getting anxious to do a onboard air system on my own rig but I’m also very anxious about the Suzuki cannot wait to see a update build plan video keep up the great work Nate 😂

    I love this series since it is really fun to see something different and it really shows what a little ingenuity can do to improve on things. Keep the content coming my friend.

    This is a great tinkering series, so much fun to watch. I'd definitely watch another episode.
