Ts1 225 or rt225

[jamjo]

Hello all ,
I'm looking for a bit of guidance in which way to turn next with my engine . I have a classic rapido 225 gp200 gearing 19/46 sprockets jl3 varitronic ignition 28 mm phbh at the moment and it has been faultless if I'm honest . But now in need of a bit more top end speed and was wondering if anyone had any views on the above kits pros/cons .will the internals be ok to use .Or should I just stick with what I have and be satisfied
Regards j

Both will set you back a big wedge of cash.

Rather than being happy with what you've got, why not have a chat with a few capable tuners?
A good quality piston and a few hours' porting should see an increase in power from the barrel you've got.

Any recommendations on the Tunning side Muttley . I hear its a bit of a dark science so someone who can get the best out of the kit could be an option

Hi jamjo, .. Muttley is right ( for once !) .. a bit of black art tuning with a nice boost port on the inlet,and a bolt on reed valve will give your barrel TS1 power with loads of torque !! .. I would try, .. J.B Tuning or R.S Tuning Conversions .. (only my opinion though )

Darrell Taylor has some pics of a rapido 225 he has done on his facebook page which looks good too.
