I have a need for air. Both volume and pressure in a car. My alternator is brand new 100 amp. But i plan on making it glow like the sun so i either need another alternator or a mechanical air compressor.
Wat do?
I have an ac shit harbor frieght compressor. I could mount it in the truck and run a bigass inverter. But if my math is correct i need like 128 amps? Fucking really? Not to mention its loud as fuck.
If i go mechanical what kind of volume and pressure can i expect? I'd like a steady or near steady 100-110psi.
The car fax.
My 1500 watt inverter draws up to 187 amps fu (so it says). Dont forget the startup surge that it will need to handle. Mechanical is more than likely the best way to go.

*187 Amps fully loaded

Jesus fuck... so i need 3 fucking alternators? This shit is getting out of hand.

Yeah. No shit. Probably quieter too. And if it has an air intake filter i'll run that cocksucker to the back of the car. Thing is I want to run train horns and air ride. Figure i may as well throw a quick connect for an impact and air jack while im at it. I burn off a lot of tires and half the shit roads here are dirt. All 4 of my tires have pkugs in them and i seemingly air tires up every morning. I hear aircraft tires are like 40 ply? Probably gonna be running those on the back. RIP my motor

look up what big rigs use for compressed air

They use relatively small compressors but they have multiple storage tanks.

I drove a truck for a year and a dumptruck for a year. Thank you anon.
MFW i am a massive faggot... /thread

Well. I dont mind cramming the trunk full of tanks for now. May run dual compressors. Will start with 1 since i have a good spot. Then see how bad i need another.

also not to mention if you go inverter youll need to spend fucktons on pure sine inverters otherwise some ac motors flat out wont work with cheaper modified sine wave inverters

Shit. Well. It makes sense to just go mecanival rather than mechanical to electric to mecanical. I'll find a cheap used really commpn truck compressor and have my machinist put a v belt pully on it. Thanks folks.
