vl berlina turbo

[boostedbb]

Up for sale I have my 1986 model VL berlina. it started life as n/a but I have converted it to turbo. Originally built it as a std turbo setup and drove around for 8 months without missing a beat. The turbo was a little bit sad so decided to rebuild it and put a bit of work into the rest of the motor. The car is still running an n/a auto but has oil cooler fitted I haven’t had any problem with it but have had people recommend I replace it with a built jatco.

the body on this needs a bit of love, the nose cone is damaged and the paint on the roof and boot are faded. interior is pretty decent has alarm (need to join siren wire again) central locking.


The following parts have been done to the car.

ported & polished head
1.3mm mls head gasket acl

this car has not been driven since all this work was done. It was on the dyno getting tuned, it got to about 70% tuned when the tuner thought the bottom end let go, upon inspection when I got it home, I found number 1 plug burnt out. Also the 25spline lsd let go.
That is how the car sits now it will need a new diff centre and need to be finished tuning.

So far the car has made around 200rwkw with 1465nm torque @ wheels
The car is being sold with the 5spoke 15” wheels in the pics as I only have 3 of the 17” blade rims

Vehicle is pick up only, but am happy to assist where I can with shipping at buyers expense.

hmm, 1465nm, no wonder the lsd bailed

[CussCuss]

divide it by the diff ratio

[boostedbb]

i will put a minispool in the diff so it is atleast driveable, to make life easier for a buyer.

[StanM3]

divide it by the diff ratio

[boostedbb]

no-one is disputing that fact, just mentioned were it is at tune wise. it did get a fair bit more with increased boost but wound it back when intank pump played up, thats when the new pump went in. next run shit the diff.

[boostedbb]

got onto another lsd centre so that is going to be fitted instead of the minispool, also car will be sold with 15" stockies now.

price drop $3500 ono

realistically how far from rego?

[boostedbb]

It has only just run out of rego last month. horn needs to be replaced, speedo stopped working while at tuners haven't looked to see if simple fix or not. it will need to be lifted up as its sitting on ultra low springs, i reckon it will need rear trailing arm bushes. not sure on rules with surge tank in boot or hole in t/cover for vernier adjustment but t/cover easy to replce it passed a rwc 12 months ago with a std turbo, same cooler and same 3" exhaust.

will need tyres
