good post, well deserving of a stickie since the old one got deleted.
Impulse Upgrade Thread
3
hey since the forums got hacked i thought i would start a new upgrade thread, please PM me with anything you would like me to add
barrels:
the stock 12'' progressive that comes on the impulse is not a shabby barrel at all but there are many other barrels available if you care to upgrade, i would suggest a kit such as the...
-pipe
-freak
-CP kit
-Empire
Feednecks:
if you want to upgrade your feedneck i would suggest a clamping feedneck to make sure your dont lose your hopper in a game
- SP makes the "twister" clamping feedneck
- New Designz makes their own clamping low rise (twisting)
- Check it products makes a clamping low rise (allen key)
- CCM makes a clamping low rise (allen key)
- Hybrid makes a hedlok low rise (twisting)
-LAPCO makes a low mid rise (twisting)
valves:
their are only two valves that i would really recommend.
-NDZ makes the R.I.P. valve which has an angled intake port which allows for much better air efficiency
- Function makes their own valve with a angled intake port also, which should do the same as the R.I.P. valve for efficiency
Internals and bolts
- NDZ has a bunch of great hammers and they have a slickshot ram shaft which is top notch, they also have top notch delrin bolts called The Equalizer that come in 3 sizes, flush with the back on the body, stock length, and stubby - NDZ also makes their HE(stands for high efficiency) ram housing which is said to add about 200 shots
- Function makes a bolt that is 2 piece delrin and aluminum
- evil makes a valve, a bolt, and a hammer assembly, i have no experiency with these products but most people prefer to go with other brands
- Eclipse makes a ram shaft and a hammers which are good and inexpensive, 18 dollars for both of them from certain sites
Trigger frames
there are 2 popular trigger frames for the impulse, the I-frame and the OTB frame
- the otb frame is a 90* frame with a magnetic curved trigger
![]()
- the Iframe is a normal 45* frame but the actual handle was moved up a good ways so it makes you hand alot closer to the reg when you hold your imp, the I-frame also incorporated the tray into the trigger frame
![]()
Triggers:
- Function - shaped like a swoop, spring return
- CP - shaped like a swoop, pivots on a bearing and magnet return, very smooth trigger
- Eclipse blade and Magno-blade
- NDZ spring and Pro-mag
Boards
non-vision cricket - 13.7 bps cap for most, there was a short run of boards with a cap of 20 BPS - dwell buttons on side of tray and dwell increments of .25 ms
vision cricket - 20 bps cap with vision on, has reflective movement sensing eye - not the greatest - everythign else same as non-vision
W.A.S. - recently released was boards have awesome eyes and better eye programming than the SP boards, they have trigger programmable Debounce, Dwell, etc. - check out wickedairsports.com for all the info - 150.00
Loki - board made by vaporworks and as of now (5/9/04) it has not been released- rumored to be about 100 dollars with the SP eye
