Yes, they seem very very specialised. Given that they are 30 times as fast as your top-spec Warn compressor!

Belt-driven compressor is the way to go!This is the compressor I want to install: www.extremeoutback.com. Over 200 litres of free air per minute, even at 7 bar.
I need to check and see if there is room to mount this on my Disco II engine! I like the belt driven option rather than a CO2 tank taking up room in my cargo area.
I think the PP and single cyl Warn are about 4 and the twin cyl is 8 or 9 cfm at 90 psi. If you look at the app charts you can see the small ones are all for pickups, mostly diesel, and the large one is for medium duty trucks. From my perspective, given that my Warn PP airs one of my 35's from 14 to 29 in about 75 seconds, unless the savings of three or four minutes once a day is worth thousands of dollars and 180 pounds (that could be better used) these units make no sense. Unless of course, as their video shows, you carry a jackhammer!

This looks like a great unit. I talked to them about getting one for my JK a few months back and at that time all they had kits for was diesel pickups. It looks to be a better setup tan the York that Kilby and ORO use though. I wish Extreme Outback would expand thier range of kits.
I have been talking to Warn about a modification of their twin cylinder setup to make it more compact which would make it a much more viable option.

Chuck45: I was kidding about the VMACs! The VMAC compressors are serious industrial machines for the workplace. They run wet so need an oil delivery/removal system that cranks up the weight considerably.
What I found interesting on the Extreme Outback site was that the ExtremeFlow compressor (very cool) is $414.95 but the mounting kit is $799.95; almost twice as much! Understandably, they only make the mounting kits for a popular range of modern motors with provison for a secondary alternator. For anything else it would be a custom job done by you!
The Hummer set-up is not too bad. My electric compressor puts out 1.58CFM at 30PSI (2.2CFM at 0PSI) drawing air in through a tap into the main engine filter. Here are the specs: http://dodgeram.org/ki4cy/air/pumpspecs.htm
Mine's connected to a CTIS but there is a utility connector for pumping up other things too.

Try telling that to the paper industry. I have had to work in any unit that comes my way but over here despite Canada being formally metric, the influence of the USA tends to bias things to Imperial/US units. I love the Internet-based unit converters - I'd be lost without them.
For Michael and my other metric friends:
My electric compressor puts out 44.74 litres/min at 2.068Bar (62.29 litres/min at 0Bar)
