Reliablilty of 2lt convertion

[OLR]

Was just wondering what the reliability on say the Ktec 2lt conversion is like.
Has any one had it done, miles travelled with the new engine?

LOL! with that price tag why dont you just buy a propa 2 ltr... makes sense

I would imagine its just as reliable as a genuine 1*2. Same engine, same suspension etc. Cant see the point personally when mk1 172's can be had for £2.5kish

depends how well it's bolted together TBH. Should be fine really

Ye but most ph1 are pushing 70k+ if i get a conv its gona have to be less than 40k on the block. Plus I want a sun roof lol

Reliability wise I would imagine K-tec will stand by their work and its probably a good standard. Definately not worth doing though if you aren't doing yourself, been there done it and with them being so cheap nowadays save a couple of months more and get a 1*2.
You dont want a sunroof, yours just must have not gone wrong yet!

mines done 15k trouble free now since i first started it

 

[Cro]

I would say im around there as well ditz, no major problems due to the conversion anyway

 

[Tez.]

you dont need a sunroof when you have a ff172 with aircon

 

[OLR]

15k miles sounds pritty good.
Guess I shal have to ring them to find out more
