Just wondering. I searched, but didn't find anything. State how much boost you are running and how much a gas guzzler your car is.

Driving to work, mostly highway, 35-40mpg. Only spool a few times getting on the highway and changing lanes.

City driving, spooling a pretty decent amount, 30-35mpg.

This is on 6psi daily driving.

10psi is not much worse on city driving, maybe 1-2mpg lower.

Wow I was under the impression that with boost you would lose a considerable amount of your economy. I guess the only downside is the high emissions.

You do lose fuel economy... when you are in boost. Out of boost, it's just like any other Honda Civic. Consider that you're in boost for a very small percentage of your actual driving time unless you are racing (and only idiots do that on the street), so for 95% of the driving, you're using fuel at the same rate as any other 7th gen.

This is assuming your fuel system and tuner are smart enough to get the idle and part throttle driving fuel amounts correct.

When i drive like a decent person and get on it once in awhile.......i get 32-33 mpg.

I boost 9psi daily

i get over 25mpg city driving, and about mid 30s on highway...its doesnt guzzle gas at all. My girlfriend hates it because her V6 accord gets worse mpg

6psi daily, 9psi when feeling gitty.

City Driving---> it's kinda a killer- quick spooling, even at 1/4 throttle 28-30mpg stop lights everywhere!

Highway driving---> only about 2 or 3 mpg under any n/a 7thgen. Only spools when getting on the highways and changing lanes or passing old people.


You only burn more fuel than N/A when you're under boost. Which is only when ur accelerating quickly. Any other time ur running 10+ mm hg vac.

Nice info, thanks Eternal Blue. I figured Id have some issues with gas and spooling with this kit, but its all good. Ill take less busy roads. Or more freeway driving.

Peace

I finally ordered my kit 2 days ago, BTW. On Monday it ships from Cali to AZ, so it shouldnt take more than a day or two to get here. I cant wait to start installing parts. IC first of course. So I can get rid of my busted grill thats chipped half the paint off.

I've gotten to the point where even when accelerating, i try to stay outta boost if i really don't need it. Like when there's no cars around, i just accelerate onto the highway like an n/a civic.

Sweet! Make sure you have plety of pics of the install. I have seriously 100+ in my turbo install folder here on my computer. PM me if you run into any difficulties, technical or electrical! Btw, make sure you have an ECU Pin map when you start splicing the ICU into the ecu.

I do the same thing. What's the point in pushing the engine more than you need to? But it certainly is nice to have the power there when you want/need it.
