Your engine cannot be at a lower rpm at the same speed unless he replaced the differential.

I sorely doubt a Pontiac Crossfire or whatever is really going to take advantage of being chipped. Or 93 octane gas for that matter.

no, this is the rich guy that owns all the BMW's.

I don't think so, you are thinking of someone else. He owns like a Chevy Trailblazer or something.

No he's right.

WTF is an X5? Is that some kind of Honda?

It's BMW's SUV. Are you drunk or something?

Upon further review, Nissan makes the Xterra not BMW.

Who are you?

Are you saying that Nissan doesn't make the X5?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

At least he got it right finally.

*applause, wipes tears*

that's just a slight mod... not really ricing it up

definately not his right to mess with your truck though (punch him in the face)

 

[MaxDepth]

You'd think that someone with the forum name, "Windogg," would appreciate something riced.

you sure? I may not be a car nut but if the car makes more power than it could be lower at the same speed.

Actually, depending upon the normal behaviour of the lockup clutch on the torque converter, a 300 RPM drop is possible. It would have to be a pretty sloppy torque converter to give a 300 RPM drop, but 150-200 RPM drops when the lockup clutch kicks in are not at all uncommon.

Of course, this is also a skoorb thread so it's probably made up.

I just entered this thread and it hurts my brain. I also wondered though how an RPM drop could possibly be possible. Possibly.

If you have the X5 4.6is, it already looks somewhat ricey. But it's a good ricey with the nice rims and lamps.

 

[TuffGuy]

Could be done the same way idle RPMs can be adjusted. It might depend on the electronic throttle (reprogram it so it won't open as much) or on the MAF readings. Who knows. That's my theory anyway, somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Brutuskend]

That's not rice.

If it makes it go faster it's a MOD.

If it just makes it look "different" it's RICE IMO.

I made the mistake of leaving my keys in plain view before I left for Jamaica. My brother was going to drop by and pick up a few thing but little did I know he would be up to no good. Got home on Saturday and needed to run to the supermarket to refill the fridge. The truck (okay, it's a tall station wagon) behaved a little odd and seemed really touchy. It wasn't until today did I find out why. While I was gone, he "chipped" it. Granted he got it for free but the ride is no longer silky smooth. My commute is gonna suck tomorrow.

[/rant]

On the plus side, I took out out for an extended drive and my fuel mileage has improved. Seems I am now really taking advantage of 93 octane gas and the engine run 300RPM lower at highway speeds.

AHAHHAAH; rpm speed is dictated by gearing; at any given speed you will ALWAYS run at the same RPM

edit: just read page 2: see in disbelief - link me to how i can change rpm @ a given speed -without changing gears etc.

 

[Evadman]

A 300 RPM drop is not possible at normal highway speeds (65 MPH) the torque converter clutch is the only thing that can drop engine RPM, and it will engauge well before 65 MPH.

I think your brother replaced your engine with hampsters. Hampsters are known to reduce engine RPM by a minimum of 17%.
