Anyone have one of these yet, and if you do, what do you think of it?

I'd like to see one myself. It's supposedly been out for a month and Eddie doesn't even have a picture of it up. Eddie's great but his web site is a confusing mess.
 
Yes I do and it is great .... It's having a compressor (mine was shot) with a much simpler spider valve system ... plus a fill station where you can pump up your air ride if the compressor was out or you can use it to fill tires ... etc...

It's a great system thanks Eddie for you hard work on developing this system ...

I should take pics ... if I could ever get the camera away from my wife.
 
How about the price?

There's a reason, I am sure, that Eddie doesn't post pics of it. No sense feeding rip off artists when you have a great little product that people want because it works.

It's not like someone else can't post pics. Although I'm beginning to doubt this thing really exists since no one else seems willing to do so. A conspiracy? :p

Seriously, I want to see what this thing looks like before I'm going to buy one. I was not happy with my spider valve due to it clogging up badly, so if this thing uses a similar design I'm not interested.
 
Not similar at all ... I had the original spider ... valves mount in front and accessed through headlight access door. This is where controls to the compressor are placed.

I mounted my fill station under the hood by my air intake. Compressor mounts in the standard place. You can adjust how it it vents ... I really like mine.

I don't have a camera right now or I'd take pics and my cell phone camera took a crapper months ago. Waiting for my contract to come due (5 months away)....
 
They suffer the sane design flaw that the Spider Valve was intended to eliminate.

Have you taken it apart to clean it? Its not hard to do. Your system was probably loaded with water from before you installed the Spider Valve and some of the junk migrated to the valve. I made a vid for myself on the cleaning of it I would share if you need it, but I will not post it as I want to protect Eddie's interest.

Isn't a new factory one like $400 or $450 from Max?

It might but you don't get the same thing ... Max will sell you a good new OEM compressor ...

Eddie will sell you a compressor with the a valve which will make sure that the your new compressor will allow you do run this compressor for many more years than you can with your New OEM unit.

buy what you want but the Adrenaline is a great design. Only sold by Eddie ... My good friend Max will give you the best deal on an OEM compressor.

Personally on this one I'd go with Eddie's design as it would prevent the flaw in the design from Ford and extend the life of your compressor.
 
For those guys looking out for me.....thank you! YOU guys are the reason I'm still in business. All it takes is one good descriptive picture on the net and every joe blow would be making these things themselves. Although if the normal joe ordered all the parts and did it himself, he wouldn't save much money, in fact he may even wind up spending more than if he bought the finished product. The only way I actually make money on these things is by buying in bulk and buying the right parts from the right places. Places that I have found to be the best over the last 10 years.

I had the ADRENALINE on the drawing board, designing...and redesigning until I was able to finally come up with a design that met my main goals(easy to install, efficient, easily upgradable). Some goals were not accomplished, as they wound up conflicting with other goals. One example is that even though I spent over $500 on some trick bracketry that would allow the ADRENALINE compressor to be mounted on its other side, I wasn't able to pull off the "reverse mount" feature I was trying to make happen. (Due to the lack of space in the compressor compartment). I did make it happen, but then it conflicted with the "easy to install" goal. In other words, the installer would have to modify the compartment to fit everything in.

As hard as I tried to make this thing more "cost friendly", I always wound up with several hundred dollars in parts either way, as I would rather make it right and sell fewer units.....than make a part people will later remember as a failure.

BTW, the difference between the original Spider and the ADRENALINE is huge. One thing I have always made a priority since becoming a tech and especially being in business, is to learn. The ADRENALINE was designed with all past designs in mind. The biggest flaw from the first design was that the solenoid clogged up. The newer design not only has a water seperator/filter protecting the solenoid, it is now mounted where its easier to drain and service if need be.

+100! i had a problem with my spider v1 (purchased used on LvC) with the vent plugging up, and i got some rebuildable solenoids from a buddy that works at a hydraulics/pneumatics factory i got curious and priced out the valves and the cheapest i found was over $200 just for one valve! good thing they are easily rebuildable and i got a spare if one craps the bed. mind you that the vent is a lil big for a stock compressor setup (1/8") but my dual compressors seem to be a perfect match
 
It might be a long time before I ever get one of the new ones since the one I have now is rebuilt from Eddie. It doesn't even have 7 months of use on it yet. I don't even hear the thing running when it's pumping. Jamie just installed it for me in Feb. when I went to buy the car.
 
Eddie your service and products are beyond reproach, and I would never put anything any where to jeopardize you.
 
Well Eddie it is true ... your Adrenaline system is very easy to install and you can mount everything easy where you can access it. Thanks for this design ... as I said before I love mine.

I have access to the controls through the headlight access panel ...
