I been pursuing power and saw some limitations and power loss from the impact. so I said screw it, I am gonna fix it all with a balance valve.
Right now the valve is pushing 700mm 25 cal 38.5gr slugs 1025fps at 150bars. it is pushing it with wheel on MIN and valve stop gap at 0.165 or valve stop line 1.
77gr slugs going 859fps, 81gr slugs going 829fps and 38.5gr slugs 1069fps with 180 bars.
this was done with heavy hammer and spring. shot count is not my concern. I get 10 shots from 250 to 180 bar. for some people it may be an issue. for me…i can live with that.
This valve did what i designed it to do. ligght hammer and spring, so no need to add weights.
I am not claiming its performing the max right now. so i would like to hear power modders out there some data to compare.
What is your max FPE at 150bar and 180bars?
BTW The pic on top shows my plenum size, this valve would not work without that plenum.
