Want to know a little more about Pinasco’s new T5 kits? Then SLUK is the place. They are perfect to match their T5 casings.
Today Pinasco announced that they have their two new T5 kits in stock ready for distribution to dealers over the next couple of weeks.
Both are aluminum with Nikasil coating. They are totally redesigned compared to the historical Pinasco cylinder kit for Vespa T5 though they keep the same traditional capacity of 162cc.
We wanted to know more about the kit so we asked main man Piergiorgio Bettella a few questions:
Why is it only 162cc when the Malossi one is 172cc?
We use a 63mm piston instead of Malossi one 65mm, but 10cc is nothing compare to about 22HP for Master (rotary) model with new SI 28 carburettor and about 25HP for reedvalve Slave model with 28 or 30mm carb.
Why Master and Slave?
Master is rotary valve and Slave reed valve, it’s our standard for engine casings and other products.
What is the price?
We haven’t set a public price, that’s up to our dealers but, the public price should be about €500,00 for Master and €600,00 for Slave version.
When will it be in the dealers?
We’re ready to dispatch, awaiting orders from dealers, a couple of weeks, I guess.
The new kits feature:
- Totally revised port layout with, a bigger exhaust port and two ‘booster’ sub-ports.
- A cylinder head with centring bushes
- To reduce the working temperatures, a special brass gasket is provided with this cylinder kit.
