Reply With QuoteHeck yeah, with a 10 gallon compressor you can pretty much expect it to run all the time with your using air tools. So make sure if your using it alot you give it a break every so often so you don't kill the electric motor.
Gotcha thanks. Never used air tools before! I'm pretty excited though, especially for the ratchet.Originally Posted by 1SLOWFG2

Ya good deal. I mostly expect to use it on big things. I've survived on hand tools for a while so I can always use them if I have to.
Alright, so I think this regulator is holding my gun back pretty good. It wouldn't get the lugs off my mom's crv, and even with the regulator turned up all the way, the instant I pull the trigger, the pressure for the regulator gauge drops to below 90. So I took the regulator out, and ran straight form the compressor which has a window of 90-125 psi. Since I had been using it, it was down to near 90 psi when I took the regulator out. Once I did this the lugs came right off and the pressure gauge for the compressor doesn't drop like the regulator one. Here are a few pics:
This is the crappy regulator that came with the compressor:
This is how I ran it when I took it out:
Now my question is, should I try to find a better regulator that won't drop pressure as soon as I use my tool? Or just run it as I was. The issue I find with the latter is the gun is supposed to operate at 90 psi, so for the first bit it will be operating at 125psi until I run down the pressure and the compressor kicks back on at 90 psi and then if I keep using the gun, the compressor will hold steady at 90 while it's running. What do you guys think?
I got the ring gear off the LSD. Those bolts did not want to budge even with the impact, but they finally came off! I took some close up pictures of the slight damage that was done to my FD. I do intend to use the 4.7 fd, so I would like to reuse it, the damage is very minimal. LMK what you all think about reusing it.
(There are 3 damaged spots, I just took pictures from 2 different angles)
Now can anyone tell me how to properly remove the bearings on the LSD it self, and how they are supposed to be installed? I assume you use the press to install, but I have no idea how to remove the bearings (not that I really need to since my LSD is junk, but I'd like to know how). I will be buying an MFactory LSD and will need to install bearings on that.
Also I think Ryan told me in a text to use a socket and hammer to get the bearing off the main shaft, is this how I should do this?
It's pretty awkward to hold and hit at the same time. Suggestions are very welcomed!
The first issue I think of is not your gun/compressor, but whatever you are using it on.Alright, so I think this regulator is holding my gun back pretty good.

And in terms of tightening something. Personally, I would call the company and ask. Maybe look up your model online and see what people have done to safely 'beef it up'. I would play it safe and say get another regulator. A stroger one though, with a higher rating. [MENTION=28]Spaz[/MENTION] may know.
Unfortubately, I can't help much with this as I'm a n00b to the tranny world (thankfully). But the damage doeanlook minimal. Doesn't seem like it would create an issue. [MENTION=83]vdubkilla[/MENTION] and [MENTION=56]Adm_rsx[/MENTION] would be good for this info. [MENTION=131]K20Tuned[/MENTION] tooI got the ring gear off the LSD.

IDK what you mean by that, sorry. I think the regulator just couldn't keep up with the flow. I'm just not sure how bad it is to use the gun at pressures above 90 psi. I can't imagine it's too terrible if its a tad above 90, but 125 psi (where my compressor shuts off) is 35 psi more. What I have been doing today as a quick fix is just running the compressor till it stops at 125 psi then bleed off some air with my little gun thing to where its just a tad above 90, then using the gun.
Ya I think it will be OK. I was going to just deburr those spots a little with some high grit paper to smooth them out.
Here is a video my buddy took tonight of me doing a pull for Vit. Nothing crazy just wastegate pressure and still tuning. (If anyone knows how to embed this link plz lmk)
Nice pull man lookin good I see Vits ready to turn it up !
Thanks! I just did a pull with 20% duty cycle, the 4 port with the external gate sounds crazy!
