  Full Tune-up kit  
 

All Systema Full-tune kit includes the following: cylinder set (cylinder head, cylinder and piston head), piston, spring, anti-reverse latch, bushings and metals. Depend on the gun, some other parts may be included, such as selector plate, switch assembly or even a systema 12v battery. Note that the descriptions below are of the general case, there may be special cases depending on the gun.

Hi-speed: Comes with hi-speed cylinder set, hi-speed gears, polycarbonate piston (zs-05-01), ball bearing and usually M90 spring.

Super Hi-speed: New for 1999. This set improves up on the original hi-speed gear set by incorporating ball bearing bushings as part of the gear itself, thus eliminating the need to adjust metal shims. It also uses a skeletonized stainless steel spur gear. Detailed specs remains unknown at this point. As any new product, it needs to be tested to prove itself. According to systema, if you use this kit with a 12v battery, there may be some BB feeding problems since the whole system will be working at a phenomena rate.

Standard: Comes with NB (or teflon) cylinder set, standard torque ALL Helical Gears, polycarbonate piston (zs-05-01), ball bearing and M100 spring.

Expert: Comes with NB (or teflon) cylinder set, super torque-up ALL Helical Gears, polycarbonate piston (zs-05-01), ball bearing and M130 spring.

Professional: Comes with Bore-up cylinder set, super torque-up Helical Gears, polycarbonate piston (zs-05-02), oilless metal bushing and M150 spring.

 
     
  Gears & Gear Set  
 

Helical Gear Set: The teeth that connect the sector gear and the spur gear are cut at an angle. This causes less stress on any one tooth because it has more teeth touching and spinning is not in an outward direction but into the gearbox. There is one exception to the helical gear set. You muct use a particular piston. The bevel gear has the teeth all the way around. The side of the gear that allows the piston to fire forward has one half the side of the teeth cut. So you have to use a piston that also has half the side of the teeth cut. The Helical Gear Set comes with the piston.

All Helical Gear Set: Has teeth cut at an angle on all of the gears. Also the bevel gear has the smooth side so it can be used with the original piston.

Flat Gear Set: Is cut with the original specs. These gears are made out of a denser metal and Teflon treated like the other gears.

High Speed Gear: Increases the rate of fire. Do not use a spring stiffer than M100. This gear also gives lower delay time between trigger pull and fire.

Standard Gear: Cut to original specs. Recommended to use a M120 or less due to the strain on the motor.

Torque Up Gear: Designed to be used with a M130 to M140 spring. All of the torque up gears will slow the rate of fire a little but reduce the strain on the motor caused by the gear. The greater the torque up the slower the rate of fire.

Super Torque Up: Designed to be used with a M140 to M150 spring.

Ultra Torque Up: Designed to be used with a M150 to M160 spring.

Infinite Torque Up: Designed to be used with a M160 to M200 spring.

 
     
  Cylinders & Cylinder Heads  
 

Bore Up Cylinder: Has a larger cavity, which produces more air. Should be used with a M140 spring or higher.

N-B Cylinder: Nickel plated standard size cylinder.

Teflon Cylinder: Has a smoother inside and is best for high speed.

Silent Piston Head: Has a rubber bumper on the end that makes the gun a lot quieter when firing.

 
     
  Pistons & Piston Heads  
  Polycarbonate Piston for Helical Gears: The helical gear set (not the All Helical Gear set) uses a spur gear with teeth cut all the way around, which cannot be used with regular pistons.

Aero Piston Head: Used with bore up cylinder.

Silent Piston Head: Has a rubber bumper on the end that makes the gun a lot quieter when firing.

All Other Piston Heads: Can be used with NB or Hi-speed cylinder.

 
     
  Smooth Functioning Parts  
 

Spring Guide: The piece inside the spring and is in the back of the gearbox. The ones with bearings allow the spring to spin in the back while it is being compressed. This keeps the spring from having any unusual stress.

Tappet Plate: The piece that holds the air nozzle in place, which pushes forward to chamber a BB round.

Metals: The bushing between the gears and the mech box, allow gears to rotate with less friction.

 
     
  Springs  
  Aero Piston Head: Used with bore up cylinder.

Silent Piston Head: Has a rubber bumper on the end that makes the gun a lot quieter when firing.

All Other Piston Heads: Can be used with NB or Hi-speed cylinder.
