I am piecing my own N20 setup together for charging coilovers and airshocks. I want to make a gauge/fill setup like the one that comes with the PolyPerformance kit. I've located the gauge, tee, and valve, but I can't source the screw on adapter at the bottom. Any ideas???
How much will you save piecing it together? that seems like a fair price to me, hell I've got a motion pro filler that was twice the price and does the same job.
So far I've got the tank, regulator, and hose together for just a little over $100 and I figure I will put about 30$ into the fill adapter so that would be a savings of about................$250 or so dollars.
The valve is a Schrader t-handle valve. I know that you can get it from places that sells aircraft parts. But I think it will be cheaper to buy a complete fill adapter from PP or ORW.
When using something like Poly's fill adapter to fill an airshock, is it important to purge all fittings of air and replace with Nitrogen before charging? Or will that tiny amount of air even make a difference?
Good question. For that matter..would you need to purge the entire shock body and the lines?? I'm not sure. I just borrowed my buddies setup shot a bit of nitrogen in. I did it at full extnsion, so I'm sure there was quite quite a bit of air in the body.
You're using Nitrous Oxide (N2O) to charge your shocks? Most people just use Nitrogen :flipoff2:
And use the "NOS" for extra Hp while cruisin' the mall :grinpimp:

No problem. Most everything came from Ebay, of course! I searched Nitrogen regulator and found one for about 42$ shipped..it was used and only goes up to about 250 regulated but ai won't be charging more than that.
I did the same for "Nitrogen tank" and found a company that sends out new 20ci tanks for around 70$. My local hose shop made the hi-pressure hose for 15$. The only other thing I really have to get is an air chuck.
The gauge setup seems to be more of a luxury to me. I found the fitting finally..it is a Schrader 56. So far, I haven't found any prices better than the ones posted above, so i will probably buy that whole manifold and gauge from Poly.
