    Best to contact tornador but I'm pretty sure the answer is no. The parts are not interchangeable.

    Which parts are NOT interchangeable?

    Here are pics of the Tornador White and Black component that rotates. They both look like the screw directly into the gun:

    Here are exploded views of the Tornador White (Z-10) and Black (Z-20)

    Most of the parts are the same with the exception of:

    On the Tornador Black the numbers for the following are different:

    - #4 Hose
    Not sure why they call it a hose on the diagram?
    Looks the same
    Can be purchased as a replacement part (Tornador Valve Body)

    - # 11 Nozzle
    I suspect they are just different colors

    - #21 Inner Tube Assembly
    Looks the same, But, I suspect the Black one is shorter
    In the videos online, it looks like this piece can be trimmed

    - AK Rotate Set
    This is what I suspect gives the Black it's added power
    Threaded potion looks same as on White

    - #25 Gasket

    All these pieces all look so simple, why does this item cost so much?? Profit margin for the manufactures must be insane... (I don't mean AG cause you guys prices are amazing I'm sure your making what u should make but what I'm saying is that the manufacture must be charging you guys so much because this things seem so simple but yet cost so much)

    after seen what you posted you got me wondering if we can just buy the classic and just buy the pieces to upgrade to the black... would be less expensive... lol..

    Assuming the pieces are interchangeable....once you buy the parts, the two machines are about the same price

    The Black wasn't out when I got mine, that's why I am interested to find out if I can upgrade.
