I have been thinking about this mod for months, but since I use the e-grip and not the r/t, I have no way of performing it myself.

Well since most of you know that putting a QEV on the banjo, it allows the Cyclone's feed rate to be drastically increased by simply having the air exhausted sooner. Wouldn't this idea make sense if you put a QEV between the r/t and t-fitting? It would allow the air to travel a shorter distance from the r/t pistion to the exahust hole. Thus, allowing another shot of air come in sooner, hopefully increasing your bps.

I don't know if there is a 90* banjo fitting that can be hooked up to the macro coming from the piston, but screwed into the bottom of the QEV (female adapter).

I would think this out more and write a whole lot better if I wasn't so drugged up from getting my wisdom teet removed yesterday...

Any thoughts?

Have the QEV screw into the female portion, but I need the male piece to accept macro, not have a screw in piece.

Wow, not one thought?

I think you'ld be undercutting the effectiveness of the R/T. The piston needs to be under a lot of working pressure to reset quickly - venting the line ahead of time would - I think - be much like having a leaking R/T, which is a bad thing for responsiveness, sweet-spotting, etc.

No, why would I want to vent the air beforehand? Ha. I mean, venting the air while it's already gone through the R/T cyclinder and is on its way back. Just like a QEV'd Cyclone. The air is not being vented before pushng the Cyclone piston, it's vented on the way back. This should increase bps rate greatly for the R/T, because it worked for the Cyclone.

Ah, I see what you mean - you'ld replace the banjo out of the receiver with a QEV?

okay, so correct me if I am wrong but, doesn't the R/T works as a piston that needs constant back pressure in order to operate? The way I understand it is that the R/T needs Constant pressure in order to keep the trigger in a position where it will always release the sear from catching the rear bolt as long as you fire. So essentially it becomes "fully automatic" since the sear is constantly being released by the trigger. In this case the R/T system would be sort of closed electrical circuit, as long as there is pressure it will work, the moment you vent the gas (open the circuit) the piston stops working.

How can the R/T be constantly pressurized when the port for the R/T line is only pressurized when the valve is depressed by the hammer? If the R/T was constantly presurized, then the Cyclone's piston would have to be constantly be pushed in. The R/T works off of "excess" gas from the valve, it wouldn't be considered excess if there was constant pressure.

This mod would be easier to try for the guys/gals with the newer A-5 or X-7 receivers (2 ports). I'm just asking if someone has a QEV that they would be willing the screw into the port for their R/T, and then attach the line, instead of just a banjo fitting. I don't have either a R/T or the new receivers to try this so I have to ask ya'll. It couldn't hurt anything and can either a. increase the speed of the R/T greatly or b. do absolutely nothing at all. I'm just asking for feedback or for someone to try this and put my idea at rest.

If anyone has anything to say, please do. You can't hurt my feelings.

I feel like I'm talking to a wall.
