And the little plastic part to put the 1st stage in ambiant pressure?

not needed, you don't need an 'overcompensated' first stage

Overcompensation, no, but perhaps a protection in mudy icy water.

i've been looking at the revo for a while and this addition makes a very attractive looking breather. how hard is it to swap back to mccr after installing this?

Hello Lucas,
In just some minutes you can change between pure mCCR, Hybride or pure eCCR.
But to say the truth, except for some test dives, or specially deep dives, I stay in hybride mode. It's a very agreable mode, no many manual injections, no many solenoïd injections, life is cool!

Huuum this kit seems to be usable on any CCR without modification.

It's not only for the rEvo doesn't it?

Sure it can fit other breather, but it was designed to go easily on a rEvo.
With this kit you have no rEvodream, no cells support and only one cell.

This seems confusing. The rEvo Shearwater Controller will monitor three cells and use Drager P-ports to plug into the inhale/exhale lungs. It is an independent system so there is no redundancy in this kit by itself, but the standard ppO2 monitor (i.e., Dreams) will provide that.

Yes the Shearwater monitor three cells. But in the "upgrade kit" there is only one. Three other are yet in the rEvo. Total is four cells.
If you buy directly a e-rEvo, you have four cells in the breather.

Okay, now I understand what you were saying.

As far as a controller for other rebreathers, the Shearwater would still be able to monitor the cells that exist in the CCR. The main issue would be installing it since the solenoid is made to go into the rEvo scrubber. Also, the gas addition is in the exhale lung while the sensors are in the inhale lung. You would most likely have to modify this for another application.
