Re: Air-Engine

I pieced it together. I got a pre-wired 10 switch box on ebay for $25 and got 2 guages for $24 each on airbagit I think but it could have been a different site.

Re: Air-Engine

not at all, the manifold has plug off of it and comes with the other end of the plug which has a long cord with like 9 wires in it. you have to figure out what you're going to attach those ends to, but don't worry, it's not that hard. If you end up getting one and need help with it I can show you, it's simple.

Re: Air-Engine

You mention a couple of down sides to your engine set up. What are they?

Re: Air-Engine

all of the valves are fed from a single 1/2" line into the manifold, I would think that having 4 pairs of 2 valves all from their own outlet on the tank might give you a bit better performance, but that doesn't mean at all that the performance is bad. Also, I've never had individual valves so I can't really say anything from experience with them.
