Upgraded Air Runner @@ updated pix 03/21

[Toy xBox]

everyone is getting "air runner" but it seems like I can never leave the original parts alone and I have to fabricate and change things out to make it the way I* want!

With the help of* :) Dakota Digital (http://www.dakotadigital.com) and* :) Air Zenith (http://www.air-zenith.com) Now I have an “Exec” level air system with in-car Digital controlled SSFB system and a wireless remote control. The guys at Air Zenith hooked me up with a "Special Edition" Purple compressor to go with the candy purple suspension pieces I have. I also have to give props to Cabe Toyota for getting the correct color match for the candy purple on the struts and shocks that I could not powder coat! All I have to do now is finish some welding on the custom frame I fabricated and I swear this is the last mod I am doing on this Toy xBox project* :wink:

:D

So you can now slam your car or raise your car by pushing a buttom on your key pad?! Awesome!

[firelizard]

Wow, that diagram makes it look so simple...

[jtanoyo1]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude, I SO WANTED to do that to my aristo way back in the day....but that got SO EXPENSIVE!

[Toy xBox]

I had to make a couple of changes on the layout to fit all the sensors, water trap, air gauge and quick connect. It is a tighter design and I have had to add more ports, I should have more photos of the install posted very soon.

The custom fabricated frame is working out fine and the Air Zenith looks right at home Major props again to AZ for the "Special Edition Purple" compressor! http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QgAAAIwTlYuA4nvVX5LSqWd2H5UNA5BtMvg82l4nWftY!93Ah tSKwZ5CeYsKjJPRGbITpRNRR2rpZUqJ2OCPLq6gDIwPcXDZsdc U4fZcoMw/halm.gif

NICE & CLEAN :)

[Caoboy]

are you going to put some sort of plate to protect it?

are you going to put some sort of plate to protect it?


Actually the lowest point is the valve on the water trap everything else is above the front and rear frame braces and my RSR exhaust would hit before even touching the tank. I have thought about a skid plate but I will more than likely be ridin at stock height on the freeways and areas I am not familar with ;)

[mdenoga]

nice setup. did you have to take out the spare tire? or was it somewhere else?

dave m... hks's for sale?


Thought about it but no one is going to pay me over 1k for used coilovers even though there is only 13k miles on them… probably will keep them for backup or another project * ;)


Looking good Dave.* I supprised that BBist didnt try to help you out* ::):2funny:*


:uglystupid2: hahaha!


err ok then… on the next “Yo Pimp My Box” :o :uglystupid2:


Here are a couple of more pics during the test fit and layout process…

I had a delay on the install waiting for a 37 degree stainless steel tube flaring tool to be delivered so that I can do some hard line work, but may have to go with all braided flex to make it for the SE Anniversary show* :o :o

Hey Dave what Valves did u end up getting? Everything is looking nice and out of all people i knew you would take this to another level with the easy install :buck2: But it is sick i wish i had the time to do all that. Maybe someday when i get more workers at the shop and i just get to work on project cars. These little details make your car one of a kind. Oh yah if you know anyone im still trying to get rid of my xA for a lower price now :idiot2: If i dont sell it im just trading it in and putting it back to stock.

[One Ton VIP]

Dave, those don't happen to be Asco valves and manifolds are they...?

Thanks... and if I wasn't saving for the new 2008-09 Challenger Hemi I would most def buy ur xA* ;) Looks like it is time for you to expand :) maybe a Long Beach Shop ;) I am looking for a place to set up :)

They are AFC if I remember correctly (it's been a while) but I know they company I used has both ASCO and AFC I got them because of the valve blocks and outlets for the air sensors for the Dakota Digital controller I am using ;)

Well you know Dave im planning on opening one up in that area and i need someone to help run that one ;)

[jtanoyo1]

I am more worried about shrapnels/debris from the road puncturing any of the lines/tanks or whatever gizmo you have under there. And it's kinda sad to hide such beautiful shiny items.

But yeah man, that's hella clean and stealthy!

[Toy xBox]

here is a couple of pic's snapped while I had the compressor/tank rack out on the work bench... :o

Thanks I am getting the front strut lines made up today and should be finishing up this weekend. There will be more pix and a write up after I am done :)

NICE everything is so detailed,your work is flawless keep it going.

[AME_VIP]

werd! Very nice attention to detail. Beautiful.

[Toy xBox]

werd!* Very nice attention to detail. Beautiful.


Thanks* :) as usual I can’t leave well enough alone and now this mod has taken on a new path* :o* :D It was going to be all SS braided line but I found a 37 degree flare tool from Rigid that was affordable and has got me headed in a new direction. I will admit that you will abuse your hands and you will tap into that “Jedi – Zen” level when doing this kind of work. As much as I tried to keep it simple, I got carried away with the flow of the SS hardline and now it’s IMO a frickin piece of art* 8)* :D* ;D more to come and all you peeps under 21 stay away from my pain medicine

[One Ton VIP]

Looks like you mounted the valves inside the car..? Are you running hard lines from the valves to the front and rear, before switching to stainless flex lines to the actual bags?

Van, yeah I am running the hardlines inside to the valves and then to the bags, I have hard line all the way to the rear bags and the front to the fender wells then SS braided line to the strutbag. I will post some more pics soon as I get things cleaned up and I have to rework the rear passenger false floor area to show off the valves ;) :o

[jbo]

Incredible thats the word its definitely all about detail when it comes to your b. keep up the good work
