I can sketch up a quick manifold layout to make the bottom mount work, it's not as crazy as it sounds.

I don't think running two compressors through a single 1/4" port is going to be a huge problem - they don't push all that much air.

If you could do that I'd really appreciate it.
I ended up choosing the pancake simply because of space. All the tanks I really looked at were to big, or too tall leaving me pretty limited. So, I'll work with this until I figure something else fancy.

Awesome!

If you're going to plug all the top ports on the pancake tank and just do everything through the bottom, consider using flush plugs like these: http://almabolt.com/pages/catalog/al...ssureplugs.htm

They'll net you another 1/4" of space on the top, and they sure look a hell of a lot nicer than regular NPT plugs.

One other thing to think about: the bottom port on that pancake tank is going to be challenging to get to, depending on how you orient your tank. You may want to think about some kind of remote drain, whether that be a fancy electric one or just mounting a standard drain on a hose that runs out underneath the car or something.

Those plugs look really nice, and might make the tank pop a little more. I'm feeling the bottom mount of the tank but unsure of how to make it happen really. And will air flow be a problem?

So if the bank has deposit envelopes when I get off work, I'll be purchasing my dual 444c compressors and the pancake tank today or tomorrow. It'll get me started on the trunk area and then I'll go from there. I'm going to check with Bagriders again and see what they recommend for bags again, just to see if the air house 2 and the aero sports are still the best option.

Seems the owner of this build has a ton of problems. I'll start searching around to see what I can find out. I agree it would be awesome to do, and it just puts me even further into the realm of small details

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Problem: You don't know how to install air ride either.



I taught myself C++ to program the Arduino I use for my keyless entry system. It can be done.

Or start making friends with kids in the CS program at your local university.

EDIT: I ain't sayin' it's easy, but it is the best solution.

EDIT 2: And it's hardly even C++ on the Arduino, it's got the Wiring framework, which practically like speaking English.

4x 5V pressure sensors installed on the pressure ports of the VU4 manifold. Read the voltage on an Arduino or similar, then send via Bluetooth or USB to the tablet. Write Java app for tablet that displays pressure.

Easy-peasy.

Easy-peasy.

Problems: I don't know how to program arduinos, and make apps.

Switchspeed is a great choice, and the upgradability to e-Level would be a big selling point for me as well, had I not gone e-Level from the get-go.

Tell me you're going to use that tablet in the dash for pressure display.

I agree.

THIS IS THE GREATEST IDEA EVER. Do you have any ideas? I'm curious to know how I could get them in live time to the tablet.

I'm going switchspeed management, Bagriders is highly recommending I go that route, then upgrade to elevel if I don't feel switchspeed suits my needs. I thought about going V2 but it seems lots of people have problems with the manifold, and the system in general.

jeez, this build is getting better as time passes, good job man

Thank you. I'm on a mission to break the interwebs.

Went out and took some measurements of the trunk, also for the time being I think "if possible" i'd like to run one single tank and then eventually expand when I'm ready.
