Lucky valve

[ollgeeze]

Ive heard alot of peoples failed attempts of setting up the lucky valve in thier ego's but is there anyone on here who has had much success? Ive picked one up cheap with an ally rammer because like a goober i thought maybe i could do better
I havent been able to fit it yet cus my kitbag is in my car which in turn is at the garage, doh.
I just want to hear some succes stories to give me some hope....

One of the guys I know has installed the Lucky AAV, good reports on the performance after install (lessened kick etc).

Not the easiest thing to install, but worth it.

Definitely considering doing the same to one of my Egos

Cheers dude, appreaciate the reply, did he happen to mention what lpr pressure he is running and what kind of consistency he is getting?

 

[alexd]

Still being evaluated, but he did reduce the LPR and dwell. I also think it's quieter.

Also looking to try titanium rammers, instead of the aluminium one provided. See how that works as well

Well I've just got round to fitting my lucky valve and Ali rammer and new spring last week and the only trouble i had was the orings on the rammer housing were a bit big.

As for setting it up i just left the settings to how i've tuned it to see what difference it made and it was shooting over 30 fps higher than it was with the standard rammer/valve, But it wasn't very consistent so i backed the LPR back out to flush and started to turn it in and got it set at 1 1/2 turns in and as good as consistency as it was standard.

I'll have to try it side by side with a standard EGO to tell what the kick is like because i never notice it in a game so it's hard to tell.
Only thing i have notice is the inside of the rammer housing must be a bit rough because the standard rammer runs a lot smoother but it could just need a few cases of paint though it to bed in.

Cheers Gaz and Mark, is there anyway i can i tell if i have the 2nd gen sleeve and rammer? theyr both anno'd black if that makes a difference? And also i wasn't provided with a new valve spring with mine will i be needing that?

 

[GAZ_GB]

I'm not sure there is a 2nd gen sleeve and rammer,
Maybe your best off ringing LuckyEurope and asking them and i'd get the spring aswell then you know it's all going to work together.

 

[LuckyEurope]

Give us a ring i will sort a spring out for you.

Also just to clarify there is no 2nd gen ego valve.

GAZ as a quick setup guide we have an 05 ego here running with the lpr springs flipped and flush adjuster, the input at 290 and the dwell with a lucky board at 12 so about 10 on std board. this gives us a consistant 280
