What is the fastest bps you can obtain from the SR/T + QEV mod? I just got my parts today and it's gonna be a while before I can get to a chrono.

It's been unbelievably fast for me, but only with co2.  With air, it's been as good as a regular r/t.

Using co2, I'm sure I reached 20bps.

This post is great. I would however, like to make a small addition. The link tyo the 1/8 line is incorrect. The correct part number is URH1-0804-BLT-050.

Okay so I'm buying the RT Hose and Fittings Upgrade Kit
(Item number: RTUP) off of Tippmannparts.com.  It comes with :
(2) 20-19 1/8" Hoses
(1) 02-102 1/8" Banjo T Fitting
(1) 02-103 1/8" Flow Control Valve

Here's the link to the page if you want to see it: http://www.tippmannparts.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.pr odInfo&productID=820&categoryID=60

Then I was going to get the

-Clippard MEV
-Pack of 1/8" barbs
-1/8" ID Line

But the quote above says I should get the item #URH1-0804-BLT-050 instead of the item #URH1-0402-BKS-050.

The difference is that the one in the quote above #URH1-0804-BLT-050  is more expensive ($24.58 instead of $12.60) but it goes from 1/4" O.D. & 1/8" I.D. instead of the cheaper one that was posted at the start of this topic from RavenGuard #URH1-0402-BKS-050 which is only 1/8" O.D. & 1/16" I.D.

Here are the links to the cheaper one and the more expensive one:

http://www.clippard.com/store/byo_tubing/?strSize=URH1-0402& amp;strColor=BKS&strLength=50&sku=URH1-0402-BKS-050

http://www.clippard.com/store/byo_tubing/?sku=URH1-0804-BLT- 050 

so which one am I supposed to buy for this to work?

ok buy the second one.. the more expensive one.. i just bought everything from the links that the guy put up in the first post and the first link you have is to a 1/16" hose just like the one you already have.. what the O.D. and I.D. means is inside diameter and outside diameter.. if it says 1/8" OD & 1/16" ID then its the wrong thing.. it should say 1/4" OD & 1/8" ID.. TRUST ME

ok. I have this nicely setup already. Unfortunately, I wanna get a LPK and was wondering if the clippard QEV will work(Since I already have it) .. or should get the palmers QEV? since I think i read that it is better

I currently am switchin over to HPA - have the palmers stabilizer+ crossfire 68/4500 PSI tank...

I guess a better question or better defined would be ...

One thing I think people failed to specify
was maybe the clippard dealer parts.. mainly the QEV they recommended in the super RT mod

I currently have the clippard QEV installed.
But was wondering what difference if any... does the following have to do with my particular setup


If I am going HPA .. with RT...and currently getting LPK with Super RT installed(clippard QEV +rest from tippmann parts) Do I need the Palmer QEV..

The part.. below
Palmer QEV part# PNEU053  (it's called  QEV 10-32 Swivel Lock)
has a rating of 300 PSI..

and could you explain to me the difference between that
https://palmer-pursuit.com/ecom/product_info.php/products_ id/424?osCsid=22dbb8ccd3b6b50df8c1c54e5b82fc9e
High Flow QEV 10-32 Swivel Lock
[PNEU056] -300 psi max

VS


QEV 10-32
[PNEU051] - 500 PSI MAX

The only difference is the Palmers will be more durable, but it's probably not worth doing, especially since you already have the clippard one.

A pretty low pressure (in paintball terms) actually makes it to the cyclone, so it'll be fine if it's only tolerant to something like 150psi.

Orifice LPK part ... Tippmann part #02-102

I actually called them and asked. I was told that it does what was said earlier ...  increase air pressure and decrease volume of air passing thru. I have the clippard QEV with 1/8" fitting and hose and cant seem to properly get it on. The Orifice is longer than the area between the barb tips(between gun output and QEV input)
Here are some pics...

Orifice

The Orifice is between QEV and T


And what I plan on doing is making another one of these. I work at a place with a machine shop. I know not all of us have that luxury. But I will write down some dimensions of what I got. Good luck to anyone else trying this.

Tippmann customer service said it wasnt necessary(orifice) but if you were havin cyclone starvin issues then you would want to add the orifice in setup

you could also just use the 1/16" hose instead of the 1/8"...

You would just need to replace the bajo t with a 1/8" - 1/16" and it would probably be the same.

I read tutorial and I'm very gretefull for all the information, but the only thing I'm missing is the 1/8" Flow Control Adjuster, can you give me the part number from Clippard that I need, because when you search their site for a Flow control adjuster they don't give me any results but search for Flow control valve and they don't give me enough information on the valves for me to feel confortable ordering it.  By the way I will be using  1/8" tubing. Thank you

I have a Tippmann 98 custom with a RT on it, i have heard from some people that the RT and the cyclone together on the same gun have problems working together because they are both drawing air at the same time. Is this true? if so then i want get a cyclone feed system but i will get a electronic hopper.

What would the total cost of this upgrade? I just ordered the barbs and QEV from palmer and it was like $27. I still need to purchase the kit from Tippmannparts for $20 plus shipping. Do you guys think its more cost effective to purchase an e-grip?

Some here posted that Tippmann wil send FREE upgrade for the R/T (the same $20 kit from tippmann parts) as long as you tell them its for your marker that will no longer be using CO2 but HPA tank. Is that true?
