not too much extra maintenance... check the belt for frayed edges/wear from time to time. a little bit of movement in the belt by pushing on it is normal. (not side to side movement.) gas mileage won't be much of an issue from just the supercharger, it's all driver input that determines the gas mileage.
maintence issues after supercharging
I have a comptech supercharger for my 2006 RSX-S. I'm wondering if I will experience any problems form this, and any extra maintenance my car will need now. I know to run synthetic, and have the belt tension checked, but how often, and can I do this myself, without paying a goddamned mechanic every time. I also heard my gas mileage will suffer.

i get like 28mpg mixed driving. i think my gas mileage got better if anything lol. also the supercharger doesnt need much maintenance at all. just enjoy it!
I had read that you get -1 mpg with the supercharger, but if you have cold air intake you gain +1 mpg back, so it evens out. You can't believe everything you read though... I hope you right about the maintenance, and I'm smokin' the shit out of people, so I'm enjoying it immensely. Now I wonder how to make my car even faster?!!!i get like 28mpg mixed driving. i think my gas mileage got better if anything lol. also the supercharger doesnt need much maintenance at all. just enjoy it!
Did you hear about the Italian who married an Irish women?--- They had a kid---He wanted to steal something, but he was always too drunk.not too much extra maintenance... check the belt for frayed edges/wear from time to time. a little bit of movement in the belt by pushing on it is normal.

I like the idea of marrying women. I'll take two to start with.
I change the oil in the car about every 10,000 miles. No belt issues. No issues at all. Hmm. 150,000 miles is not too bad for being boosted and sprayed for all it's life. I must be doing something wrong.
The guy I got the car from told me, with all the mods I need to let it warm up an extra long time. True or False.I change the oil in the car about every 10,000 miles. No belt issues.

I always let my car warm up for a few minutes in cold weather. Maybe 30 seconds in the summer.The guy I got the car from told me, with all the mods I need to let it warm up an extra long time. True or False.
i let it warm up for about a minute. they recommend you just get in turn on and drive so the cat can heat up faster to prevent pollution, at least in CA. now i dont have a cat so lulz to them
I don't have a catylitic converter either. I also don't give a fuck about pollution, just speed!!!
I moved down south from Chicago, and the gaddamned thing is hot when I get in it. I just need to let the oil circulate a bit. Up there, they would recommend letting it idle for three minutes.

I hit the switches and let smell the sulfur from the nitrous.

I would love to have a nitrous set-up, but I heard it completely fries your engine, but you kick everyone's ass while it's frying!!!
