I can't seem to find any information on converting my 2k1 CNC LCD to low pressure.
Maybe one of you guys/gals can point me in the right direction.
Also I have the un1board and am looking for eyes and the eye ribbon with covers. Maybe someone can point me where to pick those up.
Pics of the gun... JUSt in case it isn't a LCD... It was sold to me as an LED but I've had others tell me it's a LCD

Yes its an LCD. You can't convert it to low pressure. The air passages in the gun are not large enough to accomidate that.

Thats odd, I've got an LCD running at under 250 psi, and it has less kick than a Matrix. I will say it wasn't a simple 5 min. parts swap, it took about 5 -7 hours worth of work for everything I've done to it but it was well worth it. The two biggest things that you need to do is enlarge the Valve chamber and get a extremely high flowing reg with a large post regulated air chamber in the top. There are 2 ways to go about enlarging the valve chamber, one is easy and the other delivers the best results.
First one, you can track down a Free Flow ERA mod and use an AKA SCM for the LPR, nearly doubles you valve chamber and its an easy install and easily reversable.
Second option, alot more work but has the best results. Remove the stock LPR, block the 3 holes in the front of the tube(LPR retaining pin hole, LPR overpressure hole, and the LP gallery inlet hole). I threaded the 3 holes and used the correct size thread rod and some loctight to block the holes. That makes the valve chamber about 5 times the size it it stock. You will need a spring guide from a LP Angel (I got mine from a speed). Now for the LPR take a stock front plug(or if you want to make the valve chamber huge use a volumizer) and drill and tap the front of it for an 1/8" NPT hole to accept the LPR. Last step it to remove the set screw in the front of the body for the LP gallery and install a 10 32 nipple for the lp tube from the LPR to connect to. Done.
Again the AKA SCM is recommended for a few reasons.
1) Compact and extremely high flowing
2) Pressure compinsaiting(if you set the LPR to 50psi output it will stay at 50psi weather the input to the LPR is 50psi or 500psi. That way you don't have to adjust the LPR everytime you mess with the input pressure.
There are a few more things you can do but those are the most important.
Anyquestions just ask or PM me.

I got my Ironman LCD runnin on 400lbs, no drop off and stock parts that came on the Ironman series cauze I wanted to keep the origional look, internally I changed the valve (BIG PART OF THE PRESSURE DROP) to the evil valve, the spring that came with it was SO light I was sceptical and whatnot, and I threw in a 2k4 bushy board cauze it was small enough to fit in the grip without modding it, but it shoots ropes and no kick or drop off, just a little slow compared to the other boards that r out there cauze I have no real firing modes

Thats another one of thoose "things you can do". By either changing the valve(Evil, Tornado, or ST Ratt) or modding the stock valve pin. A super light valve spring helps also.
