Bolt in On Board Air Compressor Mount

The plan is to have the manifold holes already drilled. If you don’t run or need the manifold then you can use the existing holes to mount anything you want.

 

Do you have pics of how you have them mounted in that location? Was it a custom mount? Have you made any new progress on mounting the tank?

I think I would like to do exactly what you are trying to do...

@Bannock452 i am very likely down for either a single or twin in the next couple weeks. I need to do my research and figure out exactly what I need/want.

Trying to run ARB f/r lockers and would like a small tank as well... not sure if I truly ‘need’ the tank. And not sure if I need the twins to run lockers?

 

Got the compressor out of the way of everything and the air line draws through the air box after the filter. Reservoir is up along the frame.

Oh, this would be heaven sent haha. I’ll continue to watch your IG stories.

 

I too need one for the twin mounts for a upcoming trip. Please let me know when you are ready to ship.

 

Hi Greg! Got you added to my list. I will send you a message when I have them ready to ship! Thanks!

 

@Bannock452 What's your wait time look like for a single?

 

That looks really nice.

 

After seeing how close it is to the stock air box I am guessing that the SC air box would be a little tougher due to its height.

 

Single mounts in stock and ready to ship! Just PM me your address and info when your ready and we can go from there.

 

Yea that definitely looks pretty tight back there. Might be possible to stick a single compressor back in there. The mount sits flush against that small black box in the back so unless the TRD airbox is against that you still might be able to fit the single. Stick your head back by that flow meter and see. Always can drill new holes and move the compressor around on the top of the mount if needed.

 

keep up the good work Brandon

 

Put me on the list for one of the twin mounts when they're ready!

 

I suppose these wouldn't fit with a S&B CAI, correct? I can send pictures if you'd like.

 

Added you to my list Nick. Getting close to final fitting then they will be ready to ship.

 

Yea post up some photos. The single mount is much smaller and allows room for a larger airbox. The twin is huge n takes up almost all the space with the stock airbox. Might be possible but a tight fit.

 

Do you know price with shipping yet? Too excited for this lol

 

I'm HIGHLY interested in the Twin compressor mount and also the tank options. I have the Magnuson Supercharger in my 2017 Tundra and I'm interested to see if I can fit the twin compressor in there.

 

I know, I know she’s dirty!

 

you have no space. not even for the single mount

 

Yea what Jay said. That airbox is massive. Thanks for sharing the photos though!

 

Not a problem! Yeah it’s HUGE.

 

Hi Brandon, Just wanted to check in with you. I got my wiring finished for the Twin Mount yesterday and tested the ARB compressor. How’s the mount progress coming? It’s going to be a wonderful addition!

 

ETA here to Brandon please.

 

Hey guys! Sorry been busy moving to my new place. But still making slow progress on the twin mount! Had a small flaw in the computer design. Had to go back and make the adjustments so the machine wouldn’t cut into the part. But that’s done now and I made a successful print of the twin mount. Only thing left is to test fit to make sure all the holes are in the right spot and the compressor still has clearance. So I can’t promise an ETA right now but next week (8-13-18) I don’t see why I won’t be able to have that answer if it fits perfect or not. If not I might have to make more changes before shipping mounts out.

For now here’s a photo of the test run for the twin mount.

 

Here is mine.

 

I cant wait til is done man.. any update on if its still needs some perfection test fitting?

 

Ok... another update for the TWIN Mount.
Today I got the mount bent up and all the holes drilled out to the correct size. It all fits!! Had to flex the mount slightly to align the holes to get the bolt to thread in but it’s pretty normal for a test part.
Now the dilemma..
The compressor fits and bolts up! But this twin compressor has to be threaded from the bottom with the bolts. So it’s very tight under the mount. (See photo below) Also very hard to get my hands and especially a tool under to tighten the bolts. But with some patience I did it and it’s nice and tight.

The first prototype mount I made was even lower and closer to that black box below and almost impossible to get ur hands under to tighten the compressor bolts down. I made it that low so the compressor would not hit that rear firewall. But if I can’t get the bolts in to hold down the compressor it’s not worth it being that low.
So next step I made the updated twin taller and moved the mounting holes forward to give the compressor more room. This is the current mount I have in these photos and there’s way more room below to bolt down the compressor. But now the compressor is very very close to the firewall. Doesn’t concern me too bad but I know these twins get super hot during use.
Would this be an issue sitting against the firewall? Is it hot enough to do damage? Maybe some heat tape? I’m not exactly sure but I don’t know how else to make this mount work. Any further away and the compressor hits the stock airbox.

Hope that all made sense. For now I’m going to fudge some bends and maybe try drilling new holes or slotting the holes forward. I really want to get these out to you guys and I’m doing my best working after hours to make this thing work easily for everyone. Thanks for the patience and going to get this worked out!! Let me know what you think about the heat against the firewall. Thanks!!



This below photo I had my 10mm wrench in between the compressor and the firewall to show how close it is.

Below photo is under the mount where the compressor bolts need to be tightened.

 

Is it possible to bolt the compresser to the mount before install it under the hood?
