I just stuck a Clippard MEV-2 on my 98, will be getting the Super R/T on it soon. Just a quick question: Is a TechT Vortex Mod neccessary for this mod also??

If anybody is looking for the Super R/T QEV upgrade (aka, the Clippard mod), it's available on Ebay at
Or just search for "Tippmann Cyclone Mod"

The problem is, any shorter and they kink. If it kinks, you won't get any air. I was thinking maybe slightly longer hoses. I have some extra hose if I need to give it more slack. If you referring to the space that appears between the Tee and each hose, that is the hex head on the removable barbs. The hoses are fully seated.
It seems to work great so far. Shoots very fast although I'm still using CO2. I can freeze a CO2 tank up in no time, even on a 70 degree day. I have a new HPA tank on the way. I can't wait to see how it shoots when it can't freeze up anymore. Edited by motopsycho650 - 29 May 2009 at 8:15am |

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.
I already had a Cyclone R/T adapter kit with the 1/8" ID tubbing. From Palmer's I bought a High Flow T without barbs. I bought a 1/8" barb for the R/T side, and a 3/32 barb for the Cyclone side. I used the smaller tubing & elbow that came stock with the cyclone for it's air. Then I used a High Flow Swivel lock QEV where the air goes into the grip. I threaded the 1/8 air adjustment fitting into the input side of the QEV, and used a slightly longer hose to make the curve without kinking. Like I said, looks a little weird, but the speed is intimidating.

Hmm, I don't know why so much people are having a hard
time with this, my super response trigger works fine and it worked on the first time I installed it. I like it alot better than the stock basic response trigger too, it's alot easier to hold the sweet spot and raised my bps by a few as well. For you guys who said you reached bps in the 20s, how did you do it?? I can hit 17bps, I can hit it easily so that's not a problem, but I cannot seem to reach anywhere higher. I was wondering if the Dark Horizon Titanium Hammer would be worth getting for increasing my rate of fire with it if anyone has any experience with that. Overall, if anyone has any ways of getting a super response trigger to fire in the 20bps range easily, I'd love to hear more. Here's a video of my super response trigger and such if it helps anyone out as to what to expect from it, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5f31zs6MCU Edited by Robby_of_PBH - 08 September 2008 at 2:25pm |

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. |

Hello, I found out something really interesting. Tippmann's don't like the cold weather even with HPA. Here's what happens, the stock tube that connects between valve body (on the outside of the gun) to the cyclone power tube develops a blockage of ice in low temps, hence 32degree or below temps. The air that is being pushed at that point has nowhere to go, when theory it should really be pushing the rod back and forth for the cyclone feeder to operate. I have found two things that can be done. Take the barbs off a long with the hose, and run a small paper clip through it to push out any crap that builds up inside. Or the other option is go with a bigger hose. I found some stuff that maybe would shed some light on what you guys have been looking for all along: http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=produ ct_info&cPath=1_17&products_id=89 http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=produ ct_info&products_id=38 http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index &cPath=56 http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=produ ct_info&cPath=56&products_id=764 Hope these links help-palmer is a little on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for, an excellent product!

When calling Tippmann about the parts for this mod, what do I need to tell them and ask for?

If you can't tag someone with 6 paintballs or less you're not as good as you think you are.

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 |

Ok so i tested the new setup and tweaked the specs a bit. 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

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
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 Edited by roamingrican - 18 November 2007 at 3:34am |
