    Onboard air linking?

    Hi all, I have a tigerz 11 thumper and a 9ltr tank that I am yet to install , I also have the hard range onboard air kit with the regular on it ( thanks Paul 👍&#128077 I was wondering if there was a way of linking the factory eas with the thumper and the 2 tanks, and if there may be any repercussions of doing so..

    I'm thinking not to mess with the eas.. on the other hand the thumper pumps 160 ltrs p/m therfore in theory the the factory pump shouldn't be working so hard ..
    Cheers
    Sam

    Mate is just adding more storage and more pumping capacity to the system, and long as the thumper has a pressure switch which cuts out around 150PSI, you should be fine

    I plan on adding a wire that's tapped into the positive feed on the original compressor. Route it to a stitch in the cabin and then back to a relay. A fused feed from the battery will be activated via the relay, to power the 2nd compressor. That will enable extra pumping capacity when needed.

    Sean, that sounds very much like what Keithy did. BTW has anyone heard from Keith recently? He seems to have gone VERY quiet.

    If you have sorted all the leaks in the EAS system the existing setup is more than adequate...".. plug 'them' leaks"...

    So if the eas does fair, I could switch it off and the thumper should still pump both tanks , therefore I could still pump bags manually?

    The thumper's max pressure is 150 psi max so is the 9 ltr tank, what pressure switch would I need?
    Does anybody know the operating pressure and the max pressure on the eas system. .

    Not if you plan on extra storage capacity with an extra tank.

    Sam. The eas pressure switch kicks the compressor in at around 100psi and stops it at around 145psi.

    I would just hook the second compressor into the system, the fact it has it's own pressure switches means it will just come on and off when needed.

    Not sure there is much advantage in a manual control, since you won't really know when it needs to switch on anyway.

    If you think of it as two water pumps connected to a tank both with separate level switches then that is how the extra air pump would work, when the level (pressure) drops both pumps come on
