 Yes,it is possible to convert ur vijai super 150 to 200cc, by changing your Cylinder kit ( barrel, piston, connecting rod & cylinder head),but this only will not serve the purpose, if your objective is to convert ur machine to be a GP 200. Go for a close ratio gearbox & a better exhausts available for 200cc ported barrels. ( plz do not confuse better exhaust with Expansion Champers) and also convert it to "Electronic ignition". | |

Thank you sir. Got the picture. I think I will have a problem with sourcing the closed ratio gear bit. there are tuner sites that calculate gearbox ratios for lambrettas. We can choose the no of gear teeth and it calculates the ratio. Apparently we can swap gearsets between a few lambretta models for power. But my Lamby mechanic says that gearbox swaps are not possible. | |

if you try to make a CR gear box, with help of your local mechanics, you 'll end up in mess,unless ur mechanic is sound in gear box design ( its difficult to find a guy like that) So if you are serious,about a 200cc engine with CR gear box, I can introduce a person, who can supply the whole power train for your Gp 200 conversion. OR if you have plans to do it your self,well....Get., Set., GO!!! find some one ,who's sound in gear box designing at least in "Industrial reduction Gear boxes"  | |

"Some tooling did escape the closure of API intact and went to Kerala Automobiles Ltd. (KAL) with whom technical collaboration had taken place, and possibly Greaves Ltd (unverified).......KAL continue to make 3-wheeler powered chassis units for use as rickshaws or goods carriers that resemble the API standard." There is even have a pic. of the driveaway chassis of one of the KAL autos but only rear side. I'm not sure if it's ok to put up the pic. here in view of copyright infringements etc. While you were right about the tooling, I did however, see a KAL logo on the "Lamby" autos assembled on the KAL chassis. | |

Tooling, means Dies, fixtures, mould bases, press tools & even some SPM's (special purpose machines),which was used to manufacture Lamby 2 W chassis, But the frame design & geometry will be either of KAL or its Collaborate rs, To conclude this topic, On my opinion KAL 3W's no where comes close to API 3Ws, | |
