So it's time to send you our CP direct ASA's?
So it's time to send you our CP direct ASA's?
This is where i have problems. Why isn't this prototype out in the world, or even having a few case put to it, in real world situations? Sure, the numbers can be right, and your machining could be accurate, but without thoroughly testing something, even having real world figures, you are loosing valuable effort to prove the design. A car maker doesn't think that a new vehicle will work just because they made a few million before hand.
I would gladly put this to the test, since i am surely the most unbiased person here. But that would never happen. Just because it is simple, and the math is right, fits in this frame and you shot it few times does not prove that their aren't potential problems.

I've got the testing covered, thanks.
So did British Aerospace with the Comet, Ford with the Corvair, google with google glasses, Apple with the Lisa, just to name a few.
But seriously, you can nor will never find fault with anything you may make, because you are biased. That is not the best way to do husiness. Again, after all, anything i do say, like this is constructive criticism for the betterment of you and your products.
So I just finished up another round of testing today, here are the numbers.
*67 minute mechanical test (ran on my knee mill)
*Spindle speed is 660 rpm
*Two paddles on the actuator converts to 1320 rpms
*1320 rpms equal 22 cycles per second
*67 minute test time equals 88,440 cycles or 44.22 cases of paint. (I actually ran in excess of 90K off the clock)
*LPR set at about 58 psi input
*LPR running test is 58-52 psi (-6 psi deviation which is tighter than my FG-LPR)
I found zero leaks or hiccups with the LPR, the only issue was with the Fabco MSV2. I had to stop 23 minutes in to oil the valve, a few shots of oil and we were back in business.
Next step is to disassemble and inspect, then move on to the 3rd round of testing.
Here's a short clip of the test>

I have a feeling that the post above is for my benefit
But, only 58psi input? Isn't the job of the LPR to take bottle pressure down to usable or working preasure or is that a typo? Cause the way i understand it, that people will be putting 800psi+ into the LPR and no one wants a failure of over pressurizing their setup, wbether it's the intial gas up or hapfway through the day.
58 psi is what the LPR is putting out at a stand still, not input pressure. The pressure gauge between the LPR and the MSV2 is to measure the output air of the regulator not the in coming air. The 58-52 psi shows the recovery rate at 22 cycles per second. 60 psi is typically the highest pressure people run the pneumag setups, I setup the T-Rex about 40 psi. (Lower pressures are faster)
Yes it easily handles all input pressures required by Automag builds.
Yes the post was for you but not the testing itself.
Luke, this is awesome stuff!
Wow. This is more exciting than anything on TV. Awesome work Luke. I want one in my Z2.

More testing today...
Based strictly on the math and the motor specs on the knee mill this should be 22 cycles per second. It would be interesting to see what a sound file says.
*AGD Retro Valve with RT On/Off
*T-Rex
*P90 LPR
*Ninja Reg set at 925 psi
(LPR set so there's no bounce)

Holy cow, thanks PGP!
I love watching your creations! Nice work as always
No.
The 'hidden LPR' is only an option. You can still run any LPR of your choice, mounted anywhere you like.
I still have the FG-LPR that can be used, my new VASA's can be used with or without the new P90 LPR (Or the reg of your choice).
The MP90 grip frame can also be use without pneumatics.
OK so maybe I misunderstood your question, I personally wont be modifying any other ASA's for the sleeper mod and I dont have any idea if there are options for it.
That said, I will be making ASA's this year that will be sleeper ready, but they are down the project list a ways.
Luke, are you ready to take my money yet? I just realized I sold my RPG grip and can now justify purchasing of these.
I haven't decided if I'm going to put up a pre-production sale thread or just put them up for sale when their done, rest assured the project (everything in this thread) is moving forward behind the scenes.
