    Default Vz Power - Rotax Turbo Conversion

    Hi everyone,

    New member to the site and planning a SS7 STI build for next year.

    Does anyone have any insite into these Vz Power - Rotax Turbo Conversions?

    https://www.912turbokit.com/

    They market a 120hp 912ul and a 135hp 912uls conversion.
    I like what I am reading on their website and the simplicity of the kit but can't find much additional information elsewhere.

    I would be a little hesitant to go with the 912uls kit with the need to retrofit pistons but on paper bolting on a 120hp turbo kit on a brand new 912ul without having to heavily modify the base motor seems like a great balance of safety and value??

    Any thoughts would be appreciated

    Thanks!

    - Kevin

    To be frank, I haven't heard about these kits before which makes me hesitant. If you want to juice up your 912/914 up to 150HP look up Edge Performance. They have several hundred flying engines and engines that are at 1500hours. Their North American rep is an easy guy to talk to with lots of knowledge and will give you straight info including any past issues they had etc.

    Just my .02c I'm in no way affiliated with them.
