Default Reliable

Just came back from NOPI
The D17 build and the custom turbo, fuel system, computer set up worked inmaculate, no problems at all!
I drove 460 miles to Atlanta doing between 80 and 100 mph and only used a tank and 3/4's of gas on the way there.
I drove back and forward from the show to the hotel and diner with the guys push the car a few times.
Then on the way back to Orlando another 460 miles but I push the car hard and toyed around with a few high end cars and embarased the shish out of them.
I took the speedometer to the 150 limit and was flying down I-75 for about 50miles straight and only used 2 tanks full of gas by the time I got home.
I'm getting very good gas milage!
I used up 1/8 of oil for the full trip.

Took first place at NOPI
I'm proud of my Vic, and now I'm off to get groceries with it.

Lucky guy, most turbo setups are less than reliable... just watch out nothing lasts forever

congrats on the reliability "test". always nice to hear that some people run their setup reliably.

from a show car standpoint, i would remove that "HONDA" decal on your wing.

What remove the sticker and lose the 20hp
Seriously, I thought about that but a local Honda dealer is one of my sponsors and I have to have it till the end of the year at least.
Hey Ventura racing is the guy that help me with my build here in Orlando.
