CUSTOM PUMP

[sperho]

  Let me ask how are you getting a good seal at the pump inlet? It's not a tapered thread, I tried this setup and found my pump always had a substantial air leak at the inlet fitting.  Thanks

I snugged a Teflon-taped fitting to the non-tapered threads.  Just enough to seal, but not damage.  I'm going to buy a bushing to mate the threads.  I'll let you know that seals.

Here's my set up. I used an airbrush regulator to put out just at 20psi into the pump. It works wonderfully, less pumping time by half.

So how is this system holding up for those that tried it?

Still pumping like its the first day I got it
Its worth the mod. Go for it...you be glad. Just like the first time you decided a PCP over a pumper

It looks like he is using a shop air system. It is hard to tell if it is oil lubed or dry. If it is oil lubed compressor that the yellow hose is connected to he is taking quite a risk with oil in the pump between his legs. That could explode.

As with the shoebox, only oil-less compressor should be used.

FIY its oiless, and if you shoot constantly and can afford shoebox.. go ahead, buy one or two. But for someone who shoots occasionally on the weekends or plinkering around this is a great way to mod your pump.
The little filter came with the pump is a joke compared to the aftermarket decadent absorber. Its a win win situation.

Follow up on this modified pump set up:

It's still pumping great. Can't get rid of leaking air issue but its not a big deal. Pump the marauder to 3000 psi numerous of times. No wear on orings nor overheat. None moisture in tube since I have opened both guns (disco and marauder) while working on a depinger mod.

It's been a few years now... how is this setup holding up these days??
