Welcome to the mad house
Quite a few Viento builders on here and I think NeilP has that engine with MegaSquirt.
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Welcome to the mad house Ollie.
I think Neilp has a v6 cosworth in his Viento so no doubt he will be able to give you some good advice.
Good luck
Whets your location

Welcome to the mad house Ollie. I have some good news and some even better news for you. NeilP (not to be confused with Neil P) IS the man you need to
speek to on here and I am sure that he will be along sometime soon. An excellent chap with a few of the answers that you will be looking for.
The other good news is that you are now a member of the Luego Owners Club. So on behalf of all of us on here, a big WELCOME to you. I know your neck
of the woods quite well as I grew up in Bognor and we used to go to scout camps around Pulborough area, some very nice roads around there. If you have
a look in your control panel/option area on this site there is a bit where you can add you location (just general area) and then you will find that a
lot of other locosters and general petrol heads will come crawling out of the wood work near to you.
We look forward to seeing build pictures shortly.
Enjoy.

Hey Hey!
Another man with an excellent choice of ballast!
I do have that lump although I've not got as far as aftermarket ECU so it's still running the prehistoric EEC-IV and thinks it's
dragging a Scorpio through an autobox - doesn't seem to mind tho' 
More than happy to help as we go along - I've got the wiring diagrams, design for engine mounts and a few other bits and pieces of knowledge
gleaned whilst shouting at it.
Let me have your email address by U2U and I'll ping you some things through.

Hallo and welcome! I have the same BOA lump, but running on Megasquirt, so if I can help in that department just drop me a U2U. Have a deco in my
photo archive for instal info. Also I am in West Sussex, as you can see. Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Welcome welcome welcome. Got a superb deal on ebay if thats the same Cossie engine'd Viento that went a while back. Made me feel a bit sick
actually as I paid way more than that for mine.
