Oh everybody this is another follow-up for the solo economy tuner chip that i
have installed in my 2002 nissan xterra i usually use this this road right here
college avenue
it's a great benchmark for testing miles per gallon
I don't know very sunny out so i don't know if it's getting washed out of my
meter there a reason why I like this spot for testing is because it's it's it
dips down below the normal surface of the road
I mean out of there with the ground its kind of dugout there's no wind very
little wind to be in either direction actually unless it's a particularly
nasty day I'm so i don't have to worry too much about factoring in you know
wind blowing going into a strong headwind you know reducing my mileage or
you know having to make my truck work harder to be able to keep going well i'm
off that road now I got started a little late here in the video but just a
follow-up for for this segment
still in college avenue just passed College in Pennsylvania now we're in for
entering kind of a Wisconsin suburb of Milwaukee but now normally on that
College Avenue Road I was just talking about going past the airport there I
average about 20 miles per gallon
like I said do to pretty much no wind resistance either direction it's just
plain old driving today I am I average about 23 and it even after a few about
15 seconds on this flat straight away actually went up to 25 and stayed at
about 25 and I got to the big hill and roundabouts to come back out of it so
far my observations with the bolo economy tuner and performance chip we
have been extremely pleasing i have noticed that my truck is running
accelerates better from a stop i used to have a lot of never felt it started it
was it was getting to the point where my truck just wasn't running like new
anymore which isn't surprising considering the royal beating this thing
has taken over the past 11 years
but now my acceleration I don't have to mash that pedal to get moving
he used to be like this thing was just accelerating like a dog couldn't get out
of the way of its own but in that sorry i know inside but but they can't say the
other word because then YouTube flag my videos and not going through all that
stupid hassle with YouTube again especially since i'm doing so good with
all my videos that allows subscribers going on here so far i am going to have
to give this chip a a rating i am seeing a definite improvement was not expecting
a performance increase but i did the big performance noticeable increase is off
the line acceleration is quite a bit better not blisteringly fast this is a
six cylinder truck that's geared for pulling you know towing torque not for
acceleration this is definitely not a sports car vehicle still does not feel
like a sports car but it is fairly pleasing
and see what we get locked down with lock at 30 miles per gallon we're going
up a pretty nice inclined and going up this incline it's also nice benchmark i
do drive the same spot every day
traffic's always mill we're getting 18.9 without 1549 13
world . seven hills getting quite a bit steeper here find you were in third gear
at 30 miles an hour and we're hovering about 1426 1382 about 15.6 roughly is
what we're at leveling off change lanes hope that I can get past this life come
out like change know that slowdown uphill there i'm usually at about ten
and a half eleven sometimes 12 a low 13 so just the fact that i hit 15 is a good
sign
ok we're on almost perfectly flat road now slight variations by this as flat as
you're going to get anywhere in milwaukee county
and i'm at 2316 1645 19.1 now we're evening off a little more it is still
slight very very slight in 40 it were actually sustain 19.4 for about six
seconds our up to 23 22
20
slowing down your red light and spread light takes forever i'm going to take
the back streets so that's it for actually measuring my licenses will be
able to do a good sustained speed back here back to what i was saying about
improved power which since i did not purchase the power chip i purchased the
economy chip I don't care about which power I have for the most part it takes
me a little longer to get from A to B pulling a 5,000 pound trailer that's
great but if i can now reverse that it takes me a little longer and for me to
be pulling 5,000 pound trailer that sucks but if I can do that in a little
bit more time and save 15 bucks and gas that's great so also power-wise with my
5000 town loaded trailer I not use cruise control at office i do run from
green bay wisconsin dells which is about two hour drive hundred and twenty smiles
a lot uphill downhill i could never use cruise control a CD or full trailer
because my transmission would just start seeking its good little too high for
power alone and then downshift trying to keep my speed up
however i have my last trip there i was able to do a good sixty percent of the
trip without having their with using cruise control which is unheard of
I tell you it does save a lot of pain in your foot that charley horse just did
not creep up on you this time so i have arrived at my show
I know some of you just do not know me that well so how bout here just do a
little quick guy and I try to keep this as focused as possible with a little
difficult when you're driving at idle i think i went over idol once before you
get here right now we're idling at . 41 gallons per hour before it was normally
averaging about . 45 gallons per hour
now we're at 284 degrees water temperature turn this eight trying to
turn
here we go for factoring light on there we go . for one we're at about a hundred
and eighty four degrees water temperature without the chip when I had
about a hundred 1992 degrees water temperature without the chip i still had
about . for 3 gallons per hour now with the chip i actually have fun as low as
$MONEY . 3 7 gallons per hour once i hit about 900 1992 reason boner
these are lovely neighbours United rolling and manufacturing they build
some pretty awesome stuff there right there is a lavish manufacturing they've
built parts of the space shuttle or not special space capsules the old capsules
I think Apollo ones there's my shop right there
customs unlimited 3650 east adams we sell some of the most awesome scooters
motorcycles know the man custom-built cycles and we also built electric cars
custom cars custom custom custom whatever custom might want
so that's it for this video I will do probably couple more updates the follow
ok so you didn't see it
that's that's where i got it mountain there are four lights to our solid
usually while the trucks running and the other ones activity and Link seem to
blink he randomly probably whenever probably whenever it's a communicating
with the ECU so there we have capital
