Super R/T + QEV Tutorial

thank you for your information, i have got it.
Please continue to provide related articles

Great informative lesson... i'm new to tippmann guns and trying to figure out what my guy has on it... thanks.

long enough hoses?

I added a QEV to my cyclone a few months ago.  I was so happy with it, I bought a bunch of custom fittings and rigged one onto the R/T too.  I'll post a pic up soon.  It looks a bit weird at first, but it made the R/T really fast.

mabye i missed it but would u mind putting up the parts list for just what i need for the super rt

The tubing going to the cyclone should remain 1/16" id (on the older a5s the excess gas forces the piston too far causing the cyclone to stick not good) plus the difference in air pressure between the responce and cyclone gave me an extra 2 bps bringing the official chrono to 22 bps if you have the newer style a5 than youre in luck all you have to do is replace the 90, barb and tubing going to the response  leave the  cyclone alone  saves time and money too  older style a5s  beware  the only place i found a 10-32  x 1/8  barb  x  1/16  adjustable t  was at clippard and they want a lot of $ for it www.clippard.com 1.

You're better off finding a Clippard parts dealer in your area, that is what I did.  It was a 20 minute drive, but cheaper than $20 of shipping, and there was pretty much no markup on anything... an MEV was like $6, they just gave me the hose (it's hose, not tube, there's a difference) because I only needed a small piece, and a pack of 8 barbs was like $2.

Listen Slave2no1, go and register yourself at www.pbreview.com/forums and they will help you there. I posted before you and as you can see no help has been posted. Anyways i already found out what i needed. If you go to tippmannparts.com and order "Adapter for 98 with Cyclone Feed and RT
T299003" This is the whole kit that you need but also you will need to add TA05018 1/8" ID Hose 3-1/4" Long [A-5RT,98CRT,CProRT,X7R]
TA05018-BK because the hoses that the kit brings is for the 98 and they are to short for the a-5 in case you have an a-5.

 

Hope this was helpfull enough and once again go to the other site. A lot better.

Quick question for everyone who can help here, to see if i get this straight after reading all 7 pages of data posted here. I want to do this mod to an A-5 i will be getting in this week but i see here that there are people who this did not work for them? Am i correct? Also i see a million places where you can get this parts, which one is the best or are all the same thing? Thanks

so i've been tracking the "Super R/T" setup for a while now and i have some good info i just ordered parts for two A5s and enough hose to build 200 kits

1 x	Black Polyethylene Tubing 100ft., 3/16"	$5.00
1 x	A10T3 - 1/8" BARB BRASS ADJUSTABLE TEE	$1.79
4 x	A10LB3 - 1/8" BARB BRASS ADJUSTABLE ELBOW	$5.84
2 x	B3-O - 1/8" BRASS BARB WITH O-RING	$1.24

i got the parts from poweraire.com for $13 and change and the shipping was $9.98

now i bought parts for both the older A5s with the banjo "T" fitting and the new A5s with 3 banjo 90s and the flow control for less than tippmann parts was selling its upgrade kit for 1 older A5 (the newer markers do not need a "T" but rather 3 90 degree banjos[couldn't find this kit anywhere]) the original flow control can be re-used but you will have to remove the 1/16" barb from it (i removed the whole needle valve from the outer flow control housing by unscrewing the flow control from the brass spacer that attaches it to the receiver, after unscrewing it the needle valve comes up out of the outer housing[careful not to lose the bottom o-ring] now the outer housing has no rubber material in it so you can heat it up with a lighter and while holding the barb with a needlenose pliers you can grasp the flow control housing with another set of pliers and twist {the heat softens the glue tippmann used to assemble the flow control and the barb} the barb will unscrew and you can install your new 1/8" barb) now just cut your hose to the length of the old ones install the "T" or 90 to one end the flow control to the other and do the same for the cyclone and you'll be in business for less than $20

i will be testing my home made mod this weekend will repost with results

btw my goal is to have a mechanical trigger that is faster and cheaper than an e-grip


you can only shoot me if you see me
