Selling my turbo viento this year
tomgregory2000 - 28/4/11 at 06:06 PM

Luego Viento For Sale


I am selling my Luego Viento, built by myself over a few years

It started out with a c20xe engine running through a type 9 on twin 45 dellortos

I soon got used to the power so the quest for more began, and only 6 monts since passing sva the c20xe was removed and i came across an sr20det

This was fitted over the winter and now this engine has been in the car for 2 years now and my god its crazy now

The car passed sva on the first retest and date of first registration is 09 04 2009, failed due to a few sharp edges and the speedo not reading correctly

The car has 10 months tax left and has done just over 1600 miles since passing

The reason for selling her is that i am starting on a new project soon, I have a 1987 land rover 90 that needs a full strip down and rebuild



Chassis and bodywork

Chassis is factory made buy Luego, powder coated black but is coming off in a couple of areas
Its double wishbone suspension all round with polybushes, and i had the crush tubes plated so they wont rust
The bodywork was supplied buy Luego as well but i believe they outsourced all the fibreglass work
The bodywork is in a bright red colour with alloy side panels
I have fitted my custom made aero screen but i ran out of time to get it painted so it is white at the moment and in the photos but it will be painted black to match the cycle wings and bucket seats



Engine and Transmition

321bhp sr20det engine from an s14 200sx, all alloy engine
760cc injectors
Z32 air flow meter
Uprated engine mounts, they are nice and stiff but remove the vibrations
Tubular exhaust manifold with t28 turbo charger, small ish size for quick spool up but still makes good power
Uprated wastegate actuator
SARD r2d2 dump valve
3" straight through exhaust
Sierra 2wd cosworth intercooler
Apexi air filter
Apexi power fc programmable ecu with hand held remote display
AVC-R electronic boost controller

3.92 ford sierra lsd rear diff (comes with a 3.62 crown wheel and pinion, matched pair, if you wish to change the ratio)
Front uprights are sierra 2wd but have been fitted with the calipers and discs from the xr4x4, the calipers have a larger diameter piston and therefore giving you more stopping power
Rear disc brakes from an xr4x4 as well
Std escort mk2 steering rack, i have a 2.9 ratio rack that will be included with the car, it just needs fitting
Gaz adjustable dampers



Wheels

Fitted with team dynamics pro race 1.2 in silver

Your leaving the cave?


tomgregory2000 - 29/4/11 at 05:14 PM

No matty, still there :-(

Just selling the car as i am starting a new project and need the space.

Im going from one extreme to the other, ive got myself a 1987 defender 90 that im going to rebuild


beaver34 - 29/4/11 at 06:08 PM

Nice car, how does it cope grip wise with that power?


JoelP - 29/4/11 at 06:33 PM

8k seems a cracking price for that performance.

Ooh ooh....pedantic head on....
1987, not a Defender, that name arrived in late 1991/early 92 along with the 200tdi,
So it's a 90......like mine
<----

But mine has a 200tdi in.


tomgregory2000 - 29/4/11 at 07:53 PM

Its a ninety

Still have the orignal front pannel with the key lock for the bonnel lock

Im going to galv the chassis and get a new galv bulkhead, convert it to auto, fit a hydraulic front winch, rock/tree sliders etc etc

Edit: mine is fitted with a 300tdi at the mo

If you need any advice on anything Landy then Dyke Services down behind the petrol staion in woolston is the place, Ian the owner is a guru! They have everything from a 101, tracked landy to a whicked off roadin 88. John, Ians lad happens to be a good mate of mine had a serries 2 chassis for his tenth birthday built it for his first car.
