RAPIDO 225: which Wiseco piston and conrod?

[damdam]

Hi all,
The situation is this: I bought from a friend of mine a Classic Rapido 200cc barrel damaged by a seizure.
My plan is to obtain a Rapido 230cc by reboring the barrel to 225 and fitting a 60mm crank.

So...here comes the questions:
1)which Wiseco 70mm piston could I use ?
2)which Yam conrod (type and mm) I have to match with it?
3)Does the piston (or barrel or crank) need to be modified to suit ?

Thank you very much!!

PS=sorry for my poor english!

nobody can help me?

If you fit areed block there are a couple more pistons you can use. But a TS 250 Suzuki piston isn't a bad choice. does it have to be a Wiseco?

[damdam]

does it have to be a Wiseco?

no it doesn't, I just want a good reliable piston...I know about the MBD Racetour pistons but they are out of my budget, so I tought that Wiseco was the answer to my desire...

the wiseco is about £100, so how much for a racetour ?

TS250 pistons are about £60 from Grampian

AF do a good range of Asso Pistons for little money.

Wiseco/MB are about the best, and price difference between the two is negligable.

[damdam]

well, my trusted dealer said less then 100£, he talked about 80-90€ (70-80£) for a Wiseco

a Race Tour 70mm piston costs 137,31 £ + p&p from MBD webshop

[drunkmunkey6969]

Depends which Wiseco piston you get, and if it needs any work doing, and what rod you can run it with etc.....you should price up the combination as a whole package.

MB do pistons to run on 107, 110 & 115 rods....so you cant go wrong no matter which one you pick.

If you find a Wiseco piston that is substantially cheaper, try to find out if you then need to pay for a rod converion and/or to have work done to the piston skirt length altered etc.

But if its just price you care about.....as i say, AF do a cheap range of Asso pistons.

Riddle me this. Why would there be a range of "cheap" Asso pistons? Cheap in relation to a MB/Wiseco or cheap in relation to other not "cheap Asso's? If it's cheap in relation to another not "cheap" Asso, why is it cheaper? Quality?

[drunkmunkey6969]

i just meant cheaper than an MB or Wiseco piston.

Taken from AF site:

*Asso/Vertex 225cc (Conversion 200/225)
Sizes available: 70-71mm. £56.00


*Asso/Vertex 250cc (Conversion 200/250)
Sizes available: 72.5-73.5mm.£49.00

I'm a stickler for quality, so i would use MB or Wiseco.......this was just a cheap option in case damdam was only concerned with money etc.
