Upgrades of PI E2

[jdp72]

I am a total noob to paintballing, and after some serious lurking on here and a few other boards I decided to get a PI E2. My marker is pretty much stock, but I have a few things on order which should be in shortly:

Delrin Bolt
JT Barrel
VL Revolution Hopper
Aluminum Trigger
Lo-Rise Hopper Adapter

Is there anything that I am missing??? I've heard that I would probably want a new bottomline regulator (with a stainless steel line) and a new drop forward...any recommendations??? Also maybe a Halo B and a HPA tank if I really want to lay some paint.

What do some of you advanced novices and veterans think?

If I get really serious into this hobby I'll probably just keep this as a backup...

I want to add a new drop forward, but was curious if I needed an adapter plate to use an off the shelf drop forward. I noticed a "UNIVERSAL" drop forward made by CMI, would that work??? I don't have the marker in front me of me right now, and was curious if the holes were offset or in-line???

[joeballer]

Universal should work...

The holes are non standard and you have to get an adaptor plate for any other drop.

I would reccomend a good reg.

[jdp72]

Any brand reg in particular for my setup???

[MuffinMan14]

any reg will help with consistency....
like the BL torpedo
palmer stabilizer
AA Vigilante

Like I stated above I am a total Newbie... I trust the ones listed will fit my PI-E2?

I've read fitment issues with the forward drops, and other items. The last thing I want to do is buy something that won't fit my particular marker. Can someone PM me on decent places to order these Regulators? Also how accurate are the guages??

[MuffinMan14]

yes it will fit, you might need a new hose kit....
if oyu want to get a new drop, then get one, you just need a hose kit because the stock macro might not fit your reg...
gauges are pretty accurate.......

I ended up buying a used Max Flo inline regulator and a 91ci HPA with cover... I read some good posts about them, so hopefully it works out.

Would like to eventually run a lower pressure setup, like in the high 300's or low 400's...

Having listed out all my parts, will I be able to achieve my goal? I have 3 different strength springs to use...

Am I missing anything for an LP setup???

[joeballer]

valve and i would get titanium hammer

[DeadlyDuck]

You do not need a the titanium hammer, though it is a very nice addition.

[jdp72]

Ok, I ordered a 32 Degrees Spyder Magna port valve Kit.

I hope it fits. It says it comes with Pin, cup seal and magna port valve. "This valve will maximize the air flow in your spyder paintball gun for maximum performance in you marker."

Someone also mentioned that I may want a low pressure reservior??? What brands/models in particular should I be looking out for? Or is this not necessary for an LP setup?

[joeballer]

You already have one, is the thing that sticks out under the barrel... M3 calls it a volumizer.

[jdp72]

Great one less thing to buy... Is one LPR better than the other?

Also, what do you guys know about his 32 degree high flow valve? I bought the kit instead of just the valve, I figured for $5 more it's better than realizing later that I should of bought the kit.

[joeballer]

It seems like it will do the job you need it to. Be sure and leave a review when you do get it and when you get everything together. The volumizer you have now is fine, but if you want, you could upgrade the entire front block with one of these...

Note that it will make your regulator have a 15* angle instead of straight down like most...
