100psi would probably be enough to lift 1 bag at a time. I used about 60psi to lift each rear air bag of the D2. I’d imagine that there’s so much air in the system so that there’s no lag when the car needs to lift. Example: we put 400kg off tiles in the back and the car lifted in 1/2 a second. Otherwise the compressor would have had to struggle pumping it up as it would in the D2 non air tank system
I note that Gordon’s instructions stated a 120 psi compressor should be enough to raise one corner at a time back to normal height. Just might take some time.
My VLAIR 380 compressor is rated to 200PSI at 55% duty or 100% duty at 100PSI. On the weekend I decided to do some testing. I used the car compressor and measured the height of wheel arches (only did front) at off road height. Then connect the VLAIR compressor, with tank and after 1.50 minute it had 185PSI in the line. After 3 mins it still had 190psi so not sure if it can really pump 200psi or my gauge is inaccurate. When I lowered the car with weight on the wheels. the car was 1.2cms below off road height. I am happy with that and I am sure it would get me out of trouble. I think VLAIR compressors are great as long as they are plumbed properly. I used a tank and switched off the over pressure bleed valve.
I dont have the EAS kit and may get one in the future - for a compressor to use with it I will just get a cheap ebay Hitachi knock off from ebay and use it to inflate each airbag - probably with a suitable tank - afterall with a correctly maintained system it is not going to get much use.

Did anyone figure out what the part numbers are for the GOE bits from Enzed?
4 Quick interconnects LF3606 4 Front/Rear Air Connects LF3609 2 Rear Air Adaptor LF3699 2 Front Air Adaptor LF3614
The above are just my guesses based on the blurry catalogue pics..
There seem to be different sizes too:
Attachment 161086
This has been mentioned b 4 .. I think but I'd like to see an emergency system that utilises a pressurised canister...like some tyre repair systems provided by manufacturers..that plugs in and inflates the bag or bags.
Not sure if canisters of eg dry air are available tho..anyone know 😞
CO2 bottle and reg will do the trickQuote:

Most likely the 3699 06 10 to connect a 6mm OD hose to the 1/8th BSPP thread. The 3609 is for a tapered thread (BSPT).
As the removed air line has a compression fitting, the adaptors (to connect to the hose extension) are then using a brass compression fitting combined with the push fit fittings. The brass fitting accepts the 1/8th BSPP male compression fitting at one end, and then the other end needs to match the push fit adaptor used. An adaptor that accepts the male compression fitting nut at one end and push fit at the other would eliminate the brass fitting - but not sure if you can get this.
Of course this is all just to reuse all of the existing fittings making it easy to remove and revert back later.
Or small nitrogen bottle,but with both the type of regulater is very important so there is at least 100 PSI available,actually 150 to 200 would be a lot better.Quote:
