Hey guys. A while ago, in a thread about Pathfinders, I reported some stats on Hiclones I had fitted and you asked me to keep you updated. So, despite some really strong bagging of them in previous threads, I have some positive data to report about the Hiclones and will be keeping them.
Running a Pathfinder, this applies to a 3.2 litre V6 pushing a 4 speed auto.
My last report indicated a 10% fuel economy improvement with one unit and better throttle response with two units (but zero economy improvement with the two). Following that I fiddled with the positioning of the units. I still get the better throttle response and fuel economy has kept improving with every tank full (which I was told would be the case). I'm now averaging 13.6/100 (down from 16.2/100) and get about 11.8/100 highway driving (down from 14.1/100). That's a 16% improvement that will save me about $600 a year. For a $300 investment, and a 6 month payback period, it'll do me for a solid investment.Be good, or be quick.
