Etienne,

Making a high pressure compressor is not a
do-it-yourself project.  Best bet if you need to save
money is find a used one.  Generally they can be had
for 40-60 % of the original price, depending on
conditions maybe much less.

I just completed the rebuild of my second compressor
so I have a smaller one for sale if you are
interested, however it's max pressure is 3500 psi. If
you want something to pump to 4350 PSI you had better
look to a 4 stage unit or it will have a very short
life due to heat buildup caused by an excessive
compression ratio between stages.

Best,

Dave Dalton
