    Thanks a lot for this video! In the states they're selling this as the Thor's Lightning Bolt compressor, and it comes with the same cheesy battery clamps, but at least they added a high-amp Anderson style connector to the cord. I've been searching high and low for a peek at the insides, and UA-cam delivered.

    When you did the last video i suggested that changing the cables was a great place to start, it almost seemed like with your response of "its only a 0.2v drop" you didnt believe that it would make such a difference, but ive personally done that and seen a fantastic difference too, im glad you saw the same gain, and no i dont think you had a faulty compressor before, those figures sound pretty close to what i remember getting, though mine is the maxitrac version from supercheap. I also chamfered the ports in the head, and it made an audible difference as well as knocking a further 10 sec off the inflation time on a 33" muddy.
    I also added a pressure regulator and water trap, along with a 4 tyre at once setup. I usually just hook all 4 tyres on and then have a drink or do some cooking, so im not too concerned about the time, but i modded more out of wanting longevity and reliability, since i frequent the glasshouse tracks once a month sometimes more, and beach driving on bribie Island since its literally at my back door 😊

    • @LockyourHubs4WDing
      @LockyourHubs4WDing  Рік тому +1

      You may well be right! I was actually surprised that it was even close to spec, especially considering how hot the cable was after even just a couple of tyres.
      After the external plumbing, I'm going to have a look at the port sizes and chamfering the ports, unfortunately it doesn't look like you can go very much bigger on the exhaust, so that'll limit the inlet as well to keep the inlet/exhaust ratio in check.
      Time will tell!

    • @lexicase8805
      @lexicase8805 Рік тому +1

      @LockyourHubs4WDing the inlet is the most important since you really dont want there to be vacuum in the cylinder, i opened mine up almost to the same size as the reeds, every little bit helps. I also noticed it doesn't get as hot now after the porting which also means less condensation ends up in my air tank

    • @lexicase8805
      @lexicase8805 Рік тому +3

      @LockyourHubs4WDing also worth noting that hotter cables carry less power, so if you measured the current and voltage drop when the cables are cold you're not getting a real world readout for the third and fourth tyre. Ive tested 6mm silicone cable at 50A charging lithium batteries, and at first, they flow 50a no problem. After 30 mins, the 50a charger is still pumping out 50a but at the battery, the smartshunt only reads 44 of those amps reaching the battery, on only 30cm of cable. They feel similarly in warmth to the thumper cables in temperature, ive not measured the temp but they get warm thats for sure. Cooling the cables with compressed air immediately raises the amps measured by the smartshunt so cable temperature really has a noticeable effect!

      I have the original thumper max and have done this upgrade with the solenoid and used a 100amp circuit breaker to control the on and off.
      I found that the original struggled to reach the 120psi cut off and would hover at 115psi and not cut out.
      So I replaced the pressure switch with a 70-100psi cut off switch and that solved the biggest issue I had with it continually running.

    hnn, when hex crimping I tend to (nearly always/often) use 2 die sets - start with one that fits to start (it indices a nice hex crimp) , then go one size smaller to make the crimp tight (rotating 1-flat, half way through to avoid crimping "wings" on the fitting - the flash wings which "sometimes" occur from a single tight crimp technically demonstrates a failed crimp (oversized fitting for wire).

    I obviously can't speak for others but this former sparky reckons you did a fine job of soldering those lugs. The very first thing I was ever taught, way back when I was 12, is that solder should be used only for conductivity, never for mechanical strength (unless you're a plumber).

    • @SirFuseable
      @SirFuseable Рік тому +1

      ​@@user-fw6eg3hc8f It's not so much that it gets brittle but rather it can tend to be a weakness due to the transition from rigid, where it's soldered, to flexible. Of course, the exact same situation applies at the end of the lug if you use lugs that don't have a bell mouth. The bell mouth, which is always a part of quality lugs, is not there just to make it easier to insert the cable. In an ideal world, there would always be some form of strain relief at such transitions but of course, we don't inhabit an ideal world.

    I love the fact the hole is there for solder and people don't do it... BEA systems work experience showed me everything is also soldered. The amount is the issue to much in flows into the cable and bending the breaks the internals of the wire. So trick is only just enough.
    Do some cut at start of cable and if it's flowed into the cable passed the fitting its to much.

    Was the Schrader valve removed between 113s and 44s results?
    One hint on getting all the conductors into the crimp fitting I picked up from those stupid DIY videos that pop up on Facebook (the ones with dumb ideas) is to strip the insulation just short of where it needs to be, say 2mm. Remove that. Then cut the rest of the way, leaving you a ring of insulation 2mm wide. Slide that down near the end, holding all the wires in a neat right bundle. Slipping the connector on is then much easier if it's a tight fit. Push it on, cut the ring off and then push all the way home and crimp. Just the day before I had spent over half an hour under the car trying to get all the wires into a crimp that was a fairly tight fit, drove me nuts. About the only useful thing seen on those videos though!

Did you notice the motor sound change after the electrical mods? e.g. speed increase, louder?

    G'day, thanks for the video. I'm about to upgrade the cables on mine (the old negative alligator clip fully melted in use) Although I'm deliberating on size. So the stock wiring is 7mm and you upgraded to 35mm - were you always intending to use that, or was it was just handy and "she'll be right"? What wire would you recommend for us that don't have that lying around - still the 35mm?

      The 35mm² was left over from a previous project, while the standard wiring (surprisingly) was just in spec, though it heats up considerably with prolonged use.
      I would look at how long you want to make the new wiring, then use one of the many available online calculators to size the wire.

      With this particular setup, the small red wire is the thermal overload (cuts out when it gets too hot)
      So I chose to keep continuity in that part of the circuit (positive wire) and switch the load with the negative wire.
      Though, it would have just as easily worked switching the positive wire as well with a few small wiring changes.

    I was looking at a Thumper Maxx but the 90amp draw worried me. What are your thought on the current draw and the impact on the vehicles electrical system?
    Ps great video

      It's not really a concern for any vehicle from about the 90s onward, they'll be fine running 90a for a few minutes with the engine running.

      The Thumper Mkiii only draws around 35A and does a similar job to the twin, albeit slightly slower. Runs a bit quieter/smoother than the twin also. I’ve added a pressure switch to mine as they just have a bleed valve and run continuously.

    wasn't the standard setup actually 4.6% voltage drop as you have to double it for the other side? . at 0.28V*2*90A you would be generating 50W of heat in the wires, no wonder it would get hot when pumping for a decent time.

  • @royj8549
    @royj8549 11 місяців тому +1

    Something has to be wrong with the original unit. 0.2V is less than the typical difference between alternators, from one vehicle to another. Imagine if a 14.0V truck aired up in 48 seconds, then move to your buddy's truck running 13.8V, and it takes 112 sec 😁
