I have gen 3 impact x. Want to upgrade to mk2. How much would it cost to upgrade plenum and gauges. Dont really need the larger mag. How much would it be? Anyone upgrade theirs to mk2?
Impact mk2 upgrade kit, how much?
- Thread starter ImpactX
- Start date
The MKII upgrade kit is not available yet and to benefit from the larger plenum etc. you’ll need to enlarge some ports and upgrade some internals. Not a drop in kit.

That's not what this guy claims. I think he is all bs. He claim fx sold him the mk2 kit that has everything from valve housing, larger plenum, new gauges, bigger mag. But when I asked him to show us the receipt he couldn't lmao. I called fxusa asking for mk2 kit they claim they aren't selling it or do not have a date when it will or if it even will be on sale. Even contact Utah airgun and they said they do not sell it.

Listen, no one has to prove anything to you. There are quite a few people in this hobby that know more than you do. They are available one day and not the next. That's how high the demand is for certain things like the MKII upgrade kit.

You were told in the other thread you linked to that FX gave him the parts because he purchased his new Impact the day before the MKII was released. He doesn't have a receipt because he didn't buy the parts.

I think like Heavy said, it was given to him, he didn't purchase it. What's the big deal if he got his gun upgraded anyway. I think it's great that FX upgraded his gun for him. I'd be pissed if I bought a gun and a new one came out the next day too. FX did good!

Here is what I know - the MKII upgrade kit was prototyped, and they're out there - just not in the hands of ordinary customers. FX is planning to sell them, probably in a month or so from now.
Both dealers that I spoke with had identical answers when I asked if they'd carry them, stating that FX told them that the MKII upgrade kits may become available for them to sell in the future.

Mine went in a couple months ago for a hot tune from Ernest. Developed a leak. Returned for warranty repair and they are also doing the MKII upgrade. Said they had a couple left and I could have one...$250.
Should be back soon and I can say for sure.

My "forecast" is:
FX will not be selling upgrades kits to the public. Only to vendors / retailers with the experience to make those changes. Owners (in general, of course exceptions confirm the rule) can not make this upgrade, since involve changing the ValveHousing, ValveTube and make a seal test. Many things can go wrong if you do not know what you are doing and that is a Risk that FX probably will not take (I would not if I were FX) there has been many many test on selling upgrades direct to people without the knowledge that end up ranting all over social media saying basically that the upgrade does not work...when the true is that it was not correctly installed.
100% 99% sure that there is an upgrade kit, but that one was sent only to vendors for upgrading the FX impact X stock to Mk2
So my belief is that FX will sell an upgrade kit soon, to retailers, and if you want to upgrade your impact, you will need to send it to the nearest vendor you have or ship your impact there.
All this is just an educated guess, just sharing ideas nothing is from FX officially

What is said above is exactly what Johan told me, hence my MKII parts were sent to the UK tuner to install for me, once they are on top of production I suspect you may get the option to have a qualified dealer install parts for you.
However the parts will not be for sale as such as a standalone item.

Lucky me!
I got my FX Impact MKII upgrade kit to upgrade my FX Impact X in just a week. These are the only parts you need to upgrade your FX Impact X: Valve and a valve house. Forget the huge magazine. It is bulky. Forget the MKII paint mark. Just paint it.
Background: I ordered my FX Impact X and it took nearly a year to wait for the delivery. When it arrived, the MKII was released to the public. I wanted a refund from the dealer but it will take another year to order the MKII. So, i simply got the upgrade kit. If i am not mistaken, FX Airgun mentioned that i only need the Valve and the valve house because my barrel is already the new FX Smooth Twist X (base on the serial number). I will just paint the MKII on the body (joke
)
Now, the installation process is more exciting than the shooting itself. It is a medicine for a germ or disease called "upgrade-ditist." (joke)

Hi PaniSD,
Here is the message from FX:
Valvehousing Impact - 19605-1
Valvetube 20mm Impact - 19615-1
Conversion kit Impact Side-Shot Magazine
Barrel Smooth twist X
Kill that germ itching your fingers. Just buy them.

It's not a good investment anymore. There are far superior power parts available for a lower price. If I wanted to buy an impact today I wouldn't buy a MKII. I'd buy a used gen 2 or 3 and use the money I saved to purchase the 75cc eccentric plenum (my design copied from this forum 4-25-19) from Poland $140 shipped, drill the valve seat to 1/4" (6.35mm) and do an elongated single port. For much less money I would have a gun that can do anything the MKII can and have 30% more power on tap or greater efficiency. A Huma regulator is also a good investment since FX's craptacular plastic piston is a roll of the dice. The "amp" regulator didn't solve any problems.

Hi,
That is absolutely true but I live at the other side of the world. No one i know has experience modifying FX airgun other than backyard factory players making their own airgun. The most we can do here is the "plug and play" parts. With the replaced parts, i might approach one of the backyard modifiers to try and copy it or improve on it.

The big air tube (my design copied from this forum 4-25-19) is plug and play and you'll have 50cc more plenum volume than the MKII. It's the best single upgrade available and only costs $100 + shipping.

EDIT: If it's not my design the man had the exact same idea of the CAD drawing I posted and deleted hours later 4-25-19.

James,
This is humongous! FX dealer here is selling the .30, 700mm Slug Barrel Kit (with the sleeve and suppressor). I refused because the Impact X might be too slow to push the .30 cal slug out. With this humongous one, will it push the .30 call slug properly?
Thank you and best regards.

My name is James.
My 700mm impact X has 3 other simple mods but in .30 I get 948 fps for 66 grain slugs at 150 bar. Just to test I got 1072 fps for the 50 grain JSB pellet at 150 bar. I don't use pellets at that speed.
