Lasts for about 1-2 hours and then I go to the air pump and fill it back up. I have a total of 30 dollars into this and I think I will be in the 10's maby low 11's. I might try to put an A/C compresser on the car and have it fill the tank with a flic of the switch.

In the mid 50's for half the year guys were doing something simular to this in drag racing. They had a compressed oxygen bottle in the car with them. it was plumbed into a intake system. they had a switch i guess you call it so that under normal operation the engine was fed normal air. then when drag racing the air inlet was sealed and the oxygen was force fed into the engine. kinda like a prestoric nitrous system. Anyways it was banned because it was way dangerous having a 2400 psi oxygen bottle strapped into the car.Roland69 said:I just hooked up my 5 gal air tank and ran a line to my intake and set the regulator at 18 psi and WOW what a ride.

Sounds good. Post updates with pics for us. I'm especially interested because I pulled a huge rotomaster/garrett t04 60/1.00 for $16 at the local yard. I'm looking to do a single, but have a few pairs of matching turbos set aside too for TT.Jozey said:im finally getting everything together for my turbo.i got a t-4 60mm ptrim for free.cant complain about that.im ordering the rest of the stuff this weekend.i'll post pics when i get everything
