I would like to know if anyone knows what the lowest operating pressure a Cyclone can work at?  I called Tippmann three times and have gotten three different answers:  1)It won't work below 350 psi, 2)It will work as long as the gun shoots (no updates needed), 3)I need an updated 1/8th line and fittings and it should work (but wasn't sure what the lowest is).

The setup I have now (waiting for my tank/updates to come in to test) is the LPK, e-Bolt, and Cyclone.  I would like to get the gun to operate around 175-250.  I know the e-Bolt and LPK will work that low, so I'm hoping the cyclone will too, or else I have to get a new loader

Thanks in advance.

I take it you have a 98c.

The cyclone's recomended operating pressure is between 800-350psi accoring to tippmann. So I guess that it wont work below that. Get the 1/8th inch fittings and experiment. Tippmann said you couldnt put an R/T on a Pro/Carbine, but its been done mumerous times.

The LPK has no impact on the E-Bolt. The E-Bolt runs from its own seperate regulator that puts out much less than 100 psi.

If the marker cycles properly and shoots the ball at the desired velocity, the Cyclone can be made to work. With the LPK you have to have a secondary regulator. I adjust my velocity with the regulator alone. The power tube adjustment is backed out so that it is flush with the inside of the power tube so as to not restrict the gas flow. Now, with the gas required for the Cyclone you may find that adjusting the power tube velocity screw into the tube could help. The  slight restriction in the outflowing gas may help to provide the little extra boost that the Cyclone may need. But still use the regulator as the primary velocity control.

You may find that when no ball is present in the barrel, when you fire, the Cyclone doesn't cycle correctly. The extra resistance of the ball being pushed out of the barrel holds a little more pressure in the power tube thus allowing the Cyclone to cycle properly.

A similar "lack of resistance" took place in my marker when I installed the LPK. With the regulator adjusted really low the marker would not cock with no ball in the barrel.
