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:

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.

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.
