New plan !!!

Cause i did thought i bit longer about how do it saftly i came to plan B which is better and more safe for the valve body, safer by using a file a small round one ca. 3.5mm Diameter). I taped surface to protect her and you feel if you got contact with tape without getting scratches.

Here i took some pics of file work on the first of three longholes. Pretty easy if your trained a bit and pretty quick too cause soft alu material. Also cheaper than a mill drill !!!





Coming closer to test if ...

OK i finished the 3 Longholes and i drilled some holes in the area of the gasline drills. Some i hope itīs enough room to get 280 fps by using HPA. Would be a great upgrade for my rifle Setup with back ASA:










The holes have a Diameter of 3mm and are deep ca. 2x 2,5mm, 1x 7mm, 1x 12mm so i hope this is already enough room to get 280fps !!!

So iīve tested with D.I.Y. Valve and the fps didnīt went much better so iīm pretty shure the Reg. is a bit to weak. After i increased fps the first shoot was 290fps so the volume should be already fine so i did that:

Build a shim(0,5mm) for the spring pressure, shortend the Piston(2mm) cause at max fps Position the end cap hits the Piston so no movement and i replaced the pressurereliefvalve spring by a bolt so it stayīs closed !!!




After my next gameday i can tell you more about the results at chrony Station !!!

So i have tried last gameday one Magazine and i had 4 shoots around good 260fps and 3 shoots over 270fps and i used my Phenom Barrel.
I think it could be more fps if the Paint is bigger and prefect round or a more Slim Barrel with round balls also would help !!!

I will go on make more room !!!

Iīm not hapyy to see this: Valve TCR for ... (... It is also a backwards compatible upgrade for the Tippmann TiPX. It has improved airflow over the TiPX's stock valve and can help increase your FPS (feet per second).)

So you Need to spend ca. 70€īs to upgrade your old TPX which was sold with HPA-Adapter to use HPA, but didnīt told that you canīt get high fps by using HPA. So iīm not a happy as TPX buyer anymore and since Tippmann belong to this bigger Company the Service went to Zero Quality !!!

I wonīt spend cash for this better wait for the TiPX that will come with that from factory or wait if Tippmann overs a free Change by buy a TiPX and also make old owner happy too !!! I still like my other Tippmannīs but the TPX since i own her iīve never been very happy with her cause i donīt like CO2 Cartriges(cold is evil for grease).

I go tell what happend after next test !!!

I like Tippmann !!!

Here i did some after works !!!

The Spool is now more Slim made by a round file. Inside the Valvebody i drilled some not deep holes and one deep also shortend the Exit of the spool direction Powertube(the crown Thing in the middle). At the EndCap i filed a bit cause i canīt lock this Piece in my drillmashine !!!






My next gameday will be this saturday after i go tell what happend !!! ;)

Here my results:Test at chrony Vid.






The paint iīve used for test was bad(very small and unround) around 1-2 mm space in the Barrel + eggs, thatīs why very high fps jumps !!!




So i donīt go mill or file something for the next test, i only use a much smaller bored Barrel i think my smallest one is my 688 AA Back.




What bore size does the TCR got ? May less than a Phenom or TPX Stock Barrel ???

So i did whatīs possible with my Tools !!!

Used a drill to drill and mill a bit more inside the valvebody. The EndCap is now more Slim and also the spool is more Slim. For the final test i go use my smallest and longest A5 Thread Barrel, AA-Back 688 and 20 Tactical Tip.









If ... i may go sell my TPX !!! :rolleyes:
