JRSC and fuel economy

[jimmyb]

I live in Australia and am looking at buying a 93+ model Integra, and am seriously looking at installing a supercharger.
this will be my day-to-day car so i'm a big concerned about myths of much higher fuel consumption with superchargers . over a turbo system..

does anyone have any recommendations with this ? fuel/power comparisons between these ?

any help is much appreciated =]

It will go down. Unless you install the JR BTC, and you never get into boost. Once into boost though, you'll go through more fuel. Get the BTC, and it won't be too bad.

Search for "BTC" and look at some of the first posts on it (around August of 2000).

I actually noticed better mileage...

I could only get 240-250 stock and now I get 300 easily per tank. I even floor it once or twice a day.
