[MENTION=142678]grave[/MENTION] I missed this post last week. I have a '4' from the '4WD' I removed from the door. It looks like a match if you still need one.

hey guys, so i went to that 4wheelparts event in gorman yesterday. did a trail run with them through the wash. not sure what the trail is called, but it was the "hard" trail run. got through it ok (needed a pull to get up one of the hills though, an e-locker woulda done the trick).
but more importantly, i won a $50 gift card to 4wheelparts
so, looking to buy a portable air compressor now and i'm not really sure what to get.
88P Portable Compressor Kit, $65.99:
Viair 90P Portable Compressor Kit, $79.99:
These two seem like the right price and are portable. Not sure if I should spend a little extra and get the more expensive one. Thoughts?

I have the 88P, works well for me. You're more than welcome to try it out to see. Maybe someone here has a 90P you can try out, too.

sweet. appreciate that man!
any idea on how long it takes for you to air up, esp compared to the others that run different portable air compressors? how long have you used the 88P?

Ok so after doing a little more looking around, I think I'm going with the 88P because it is more powerful.
88P: 120 PSI / 1.47 CFM, good for up to 33" tires
90P: 120 PSI / 1.21 CFM, good for up to 31" tires
CFM is pretty much the most important thing to look at, right? based on CFM, 88P is the way to go.

To get from 20psi to 45/50psi I think it took like 4 minutes per tire. Not sure exactly but I can check next time.

nice!
i was gonna ask about the blue/yellow plates because i thought those would be period-correct, but a quick google search shows that CA plates had gone white/blue in the 80s. i really thought blue/yellow was still being issued in the early 90s.

That's not exactly true, you want to look at the duty cycle also. I have a Viair 400 (similar to 88P) which I re purposed from my air suspension from my Audi. Both 88P and 90P compressors you're looking at are good up to 120 max psi meaning they can pump up to that amount, so either will work for all sized tires.
The duty cycle shows how long it can run before it needs to be shut down from overheating. The lower the % better, meaning the one with lower % can be run longer before it overheats. Generally the lower % pumps less air and will take longer for each tire to be filled. Think of the 88P as a sprint racer and the 90P as a marathon racer.
So both would be fine filling up 4 tires after airing down for a trail run but if you plan to let someone in the group borrow it to fill up theirs then I'd get the 90P as it can run longer without overheating.

I have the 88p and I air up from 18psi to 40 psi on 255/80/17 (skinny 33's) in about 4 mins per tire. For the price it's a decent compressor. I use an ammo can to store it since it doesn't come with a bag. They get super hot after use so an ammo can is better than a nylon bag anyways IMO. The only word of wisdom with the 88p is to check your psi manually with a decent air gauge as you near your desired psi. The one on the compressor isn't very accurate and I'm usually 2-3psi lower than what the built in gauge is reading. I bet most economy compressors are similar in that regard.
I haven't tried the 90p either, but I bought he 88p based off the tire size recommendations on Viair's website. My understanding about duty cycle is that the higher percentage means the more minutes per hour it can be run before needing to cool.

Opps you're right I had it backwards from my first statement, the higher the duty cycle % the better. Basically the higher the duty % the longer you can run the compressor before it needs to cool down. My 400c compressor is also pretty hot after I fill all 4 of my tires from 20lbs to 35lbs.

Haha not gonna lie, my plan was to eat a 4x4 from in-n-out in my 4x4 with my 4BYFOUR license plate. I waited so long for this, and now it's gonna happen this weekend :girl:
