Is it possible to upgrade a Classic Tornador to a Tornador Black but replacing the rotating assembly and cone?

Feed back please

The best thing to do is contact Tornador themselves to see what can be field upgraded or not.

In looking at my Tornador Black there is a rotation replacement kit found here:
TB-200RS

Here is a pic of mine with the cone removed. If yours has a similar assembly nut, I don't see why you can't order the part and replace it on yours.




With that said, you should check with Tornador first to ensure that:
a.) you do not damage your tool;
b.) you do not modify it in a way that can cause harm to yourself or the vehicle you're working on.

I hope this helps.
 
Since the valve bodies have different thread patterns, I would expect that you cannot upgrade just by getting parts, unless you buy a lot of parts.
 
I checked with Tornador and you can upgrade it.

1. TB-600 Inner liquid tube

2. TB-404 Valve body

3. TB-200 RS Rotate set

4. TB-100 Black Cone

5. CT-023 Screw Sometimes these are difficult to salvage, if it is difficult to remove apply heat to loosen the thread locker, good for a back up

6. CT-228

Hope this helps

So it's possible but maybe not worth it. Guess I'll keep using my Gen 1 until is breaks or something.

What is the combined cost of these parts versus buying the "Blastor" upgrade?

6. CT-228 $1

$86, give or take. Not terrible if you already own a Z-010 and need to replace some parts anyway. The blastor is $50, if they put as much time into the tool as they did the wix website, then it should make a good paperweight.

Or you could get the knockoff from canada sold by the same guy that did the only side by side review I've seen of the Z-020 and knockoff, only $120.
