    Theory crafting 05/06 Ego mods

    Has anyone considered taking the 05/06 Ego ram sleeve and enlarging the exhaust passage hole of the valve as well as widening the transfer passage between the lower and breach tube where air is fed to the bottom of the bolt in order to drop pressures? Jason Antle over at Angry Paintball has been doing this more and more with cockers recently and has seen some good gains from it. Without making some custom valves/rammers for the platform this seems like the easier way of gaining performance and maybe lower the sound of it a bit.

    I plan on swapping the barb on the VASA to a higher airflow barb and tap it to be 10-32 if it isn't already. I have modded ram sleeves to accept 10-32 QEVs which definitely has given the 5.5 Nexus I had to which Chuck now owns a smoother less noticeable kick and I could lower the LPR a bit than what it was at stock. I know people have removed the rear QEV entirely to give the older Egos their own Zick kit effect seeing as how SE Violent rammer are nearly unobtanium as are the Dark Ti rammers w/ appropriate spring.

    The qev's are metric and only slightly smaller than 10-32. I modded my 05 for them because they are common compared to the standard ones.

    As for flow.....

    The move would be to cut the valve off and put in a lazurus valve. They are slightly over 11/16 though. The ports are already pretty large too iirc.

      I have fit an 11/16 Styn valve into an Ego body in the past using metric sized quad rings and dow55 with it sealing perfectly back when I was trying to turn an Ego into an autococker. But the use of a Laz valve would require a much lighter rammer. I do know someone who used Tyronejk's ICD valve in his 06 Dark but Ty only did a very small run of those.
