Anyone had this done? Is it safe/reliable running on the standard compression ratio?????

They've been doing that kit for a while now, someone on here has had it done

Not a bad price compared to K Tec's asking price of £6000+ for a turbo kit.

Also I noticed that Engine dynamics sell Wossner high compression pistons, 12.8:1 and 13.3:1, will both these compressions run ok on normal pump fuel e.g. 98 octane?

I keep looking at this, Not got 3k handy though!

I always think, ok so add 3k to the value of my car and what can I get game - the answer is usually nothing that takes my fancy!

Yeah but that's Ktecs top turbo with uprated rods/pistons etc. Think that goes up to around 300bhp ish.

It won't add 3k to the value of your car, it'll be worth a bit more than a standard 172. Turbo 172s are very hard to sell on.

If your a bit switched on you'd could probably build a kit your self for cheaper, as theres a few parts in both this and ktecs low pressure conversion which aren't really brilliant.

 

[sammyhale22]

how much cheaper?????

 

[Gray]

Depends how switched on you are... and who you know

No this is true, but I think anyone spending 3k on any car will have to be pretty confident that their long term plans include the car in question..
