Catnan112 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Hi. Need some help, new to airsoft and upgrading, after getting my UKARA, decided to upgrade the 2 tone. Put in a 6.03 barrel, upgraded piston, cylinder, cylinder head, 110 spring and nozzle. Only trouble is now the FPS has dropped from 300 + to 220ish. What have I done wrong or do I need to change the motor?
E21A Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 did you check air seal/ compression before putting it back together?
Supporters Prisce Posted March 30, 2019 Supporters Posted March 30, 2019 Did you check the compression parts are compatible? Just because they say V2, doesn’t mean they all work together.
Catnan112 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 Made sure that I purchase all from the same make. How would I go about checking the compression?
E21A Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Have a search on YouTube, easy to see it done than try and explain
Catnan112 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 Will do, thanks for the help, will let you know how I get on.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted March 30, 2019 Supporters Posted March 30, 2019 check the seals, just did this exact same thing with the f2000, dropped a silent piston head in without checking the seal and it's droped 3/4 of a joule. couldn't be arsed opening it up again so it's still on my list to get sorted.

No it isnt, sorry but this is a bugbear of mine due to seeing the horrific over use of ptfe tape in innappropriate places when working on other people's guns. If you have to resort to using stop gap measures like stuffing ptfe tape everywhere its because you're using parts that dont work together.
Catnan112 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Guys, thanks for all th3 help, did check it and there was an o ring missing on the piston, all sorted now. Now onto another question( hope I don5 have to start a new thread). Look8ng at installing a complete new gearbox in the raider, any suggestions of n make etc.

E21A Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Nothing wrong with the shell at the FPS we use in this country. Might as well just change the internals to be honest. if you want a whole new gearbox to throw most of it away then look on Ak2m4, he seeks complete gearboxes.
