i still have alot of work to do i hurt my thumb so it is in dis repair. i need to wire the pumps and switches and the struts . most of the ploming of the air lines are done
but the monotor between the seats is realey nice

slowandlow · 08-16-2005, 04:33 PM

well i got all the valves wired up. i have all but the tank sensors installed. i have the air line ran. i need to wire up the pumps. install the tank sensor. drill wholes and install the struts.

do i need to run a switch for the digital air mangment or can i leave it on all the time? and if i do will it kill my batteries?

slowandlow · 08-16-2005, 07:53 PM

well i got the pumps wired up and relays installed now i have to do some wire managment. and run a switched power. the olny problem is the relays wont turn on the pumps. but the pumps will turn on manuley when i by pass the relays. i do have some leaks

its richie! ..lol.. my new pressure switch works good. Got it from rick. its by Viair. .. mines on the pressure switch and manual switch.. got both. Was just running manual switch before, but turn compressors on and off alot gets old. Especially for daily drive like mine.

i am useing the digital air managament and it uses relays. and that is not turning on the pumps. and i do have at least 1 leak once i get the pumps working good i will be testing for leaks.

slowandlow · 08-20-2005, 03:29 PM

well i contacted easy street they are sending me a new controler sence mine has no voltage to turn on the pumps. i did get my tank presurised and i have a 1 psi leak every 3 hours should i wory or work on fixing this?

08-20-2005, 10:03 PM

nah, 1psi over that time is nuttin. at 120psi, my tank only dropped about 8psi over 24hours. Its hard to get a leak free system with a setup like you have. as long as you can drive for an hour and not have to air up a bag over and over, your all good.

slowandlow · 08-21-2005, 12:31 AM

i dont have the bags in yet. i want to get the rest of the system up and running so i am not stuck with my car on the side of the road or in the driveway.

i love makeing it go pppppppppuuuuuuussssssssssssss when i hit the up sence i dont have the bags installed.

slowandlow · 08-22-2005, 02:55 AM

i was reading around not to go side to side it puts alot of stress on the body and i herd some one got a cracked rear glass. is this true.

Pimpalero03 · 08-22-2005, 10:13 AM

it can. ive seen it on one alero and a coule grand ams

08-22-2005, 06:01 PM

i did side to side all the time with air and juice and never had a problem. i'm not sure what the guy that cracked his back window f***ed up to have that happen, but i wouldnt worry about it, unless you have a bodykit molded on.

sound_xtreme · 08-22-2005, 10:25 PM

the alero on cardomain had fast bags and was hoppin it

Pimpalero03 · 08-22-2005, 11:16 PM

same as the grand am i know, it was fast bags.

08-22-2005, 11:29 PM

U just cant be stupid with it. Its common sence. Were dealing with a unibody car (a CHINCY one at that) Its not built to take that kind of stress, let alone bouncin like a '64. Sure, u can side to side but keep it within reason. I rarley keep over 115 or so psi in my tank, cause anymore than that and the front or rear is up in a split second. So the car goes from layd out to all way up in a single tap. And I mean it slams up.
Sure, if your hoppin around and bendin corners on 3 your askin for trouble. Just remember its an alero, not a '64 Impala.

slowandlow · 08-22-2005, 11:43 PM

i dont want to hop it i was just trying to get some facts. actuley i will have 170 on my tank that is what the digital setup is set for and you cant change it.

Sux to be you. with 1/2" fill like you have...at 170.....he he he. just wait.

man, with the $$ they rape you with that controller, ya think youd be able to adjust it....

AftermathAlero · 08-23-2005, 12:15 AM

yea.. they should made that control adjustable pressure switch. oh well. .i hope ur new one works. Dont forget to fix all ur leaks. Spray soap and water on all the fitting connections.

We told you not to get the digi controller. but you wanted one.

forbidden · 08-23-2005, 11:18 PM

cracked back window...lol thats funny. the only way that will happen is you you dogleg ALOT.And still thats a little far fetched. I have had mine bagged since 99 and never had any problem with it messin stuff up. And I run 240psi soon to be nitrogen... so dont listen to that crap. PLus side to side does not put the car in a bind.

slowandlow · 08-27-2005, 09:33 PM

hey that digital contriller is sweet it has volts tank presure load leveling leak ditecton. and i can pre set my presure levels so when i hit auto it will bring me up to cruse levels
