Airrex Suspension Prius Project Build

Sorry for the lack of updates. but its just an waiting game for me for everything to come together.

on a good note one main peice to the puzzle shipped out

 

JUst got the Airrex Suspension in.

 

got to find time in between all the other install i have to do. Still waiting for the wheels to get done and shipped. Ill prob just wait till the wheels come in that will take about month and half to build.

 

Sure man hopefully before the end of the year ..

 

Had some time to work on my Air install ..

Using Airrex Elite Serise with
1 Dual 3 gallon Specialty Suspension Seamless Tanks
2 Single Viair 480 Compressor
3 Stainless Steal Hard lines

Doing a custom install in the spare tire well.



I was thinkni ng what to do with the tanks as far as color goes and had a nice idea to stick with the theme of the car. Hybird..
Im going to paint the tanks like a battery.



Here is some past work i did on other cars.

 

Put some wood working time in today on the base of the install.


Whe perfection is needed. A router table is a must in Wood working. Used it to cut out templates



WE could have just mounted the compressor on top of the wood but we are taking it one step further and
installing a Pexi glass under and lighting it up with LED lights.


Next is mounting the ECU and Manifold valve. We are going to be hiding the ECU under the Manifold.
we will be using some fiberglass work to get the the rounded shape

 

Had some time today to get a little done. Made a template for the pexi glass floor for the compressor. Cut the pexi on the router table and cut a step in the wood so the pexi would be flushed on the under side.

 

SLow progress but got to put some time into the car the last few days.

Layed some fiberglass to make the curve for the ECU cover and Manifold mount



After that layed a few layers of bondo to smooth it out . IT didnt have to be perfect becuase it was going to be covered up with Carpet



Next was gluing on the carpet. We made a step in the wood so we could staple the carpet down than cut excess carpet off with razor for a clean look even though its the bottom side.





With that all done we test fit again ..



Next was the wiring





Everything wired up .. just have to paint the tanks and make all the stainless hard lines and Plumb the system

 

Little more done .. Did some of the stainless hardlines

 

if i had just stayed with a Single tank and normal 380c compressor its was 5000.00
