Cyclone Feeder Supply Line Mods

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've been having some speed issues with my cyclone feed system.  When I dissasemble the pieces (to include the 90 degree elbow on the gun and the small air line) I notice how small the ports and line are that the supply air has to go through to charge the cyclone feeder.
I can only imagine that the cyclone feeder could be cycled much quicker if it was receiving a large volume charge. 
Does anyone know of any oversize Cyclone Feed line kits or pieces out there?

	Which marker do you have? Are you running an RT as well?

	I have an A-5 with an Tippmann electronic grip. I also have a response trigger that I have considered putting back on the gun because I am getting annoyed with battery issues...rechargable or not...they can be a big bother when they go down in the field.

	The small lines shouldn't be a problem with using the E-grip. If you use the RT, it may be a different issue. I did notice better performance on my 98 with cyclone and RT when I upgraded to the bigger lines. If you are running the RT, you may want to look at this: http://www.tippmannparts.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.pr odInfo&productID=736&categoryID=10 Palmer Pursuit Shop also makes a QEV with the larger lines and fitting, but only has the single outlet, not the T fitting, so it would be more suitable with the E-Grip. The link is below. On a side note, I did purchase the QEV with the 1/8" lines and had some issues, but may have been attributed to a regulator that I also added. I have not tried the kit again since I have taken the regulator off. http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=produ ct_info&cPath=2_6_56&products_id=764

	Could you do like the super RT mod but include the cyclone? Ring Tippmann and say you are running a LPK and would like the larger hoses etc for it, presumably (sp) if there is a cyclone in the equation as well they will supply larger hoses for that aswell?
	Well...Putfile deleted all my pictures so I don't have a signature atm!

	Not sure I am getting your question. The first one would be for RT and Cylcone. The second wouldnt be.
