Default Chip availabilty,

Our Equators are rebadged Nissan Frontiers, so most if not all after market performance parts for the Nissan should work on our trucks. I have not looked for any performance chips due to the fear of creating a potential warranty issue down the road. The first thing I did was installed a K&N drop in air filter. I swear by these things. Slightly better performance and gas mileage along the throaty sound when you step on it and they do not impact your warranty and they last forever with proper maintenance.

I have the injen CAI for the frontier and a magnaflow y pipe and muffler and I have picked up maybe 10-15hp. However I will tsay my mpg has gone up. On average I get another 50miles per tank so 2.5mpg better. I plan on the hypertech max energy but am hesitant because thats quite the $350 waste if its not compatible since its for the frontier. I have had mechanics tell me it'll be fine and I have read the computers are totally different...IMO I dont see why the computers or anything would be different from the nissan 4.0

Wow, that's great! When I added my basic performance upgrades to my current truck, my MPG went up as well.

warranty is very valuable since it makes your truck insured on whatever problems that come along the way. That was a good move you made to make the warranty intact and not making it void.

Did you swap out the filter ONLY or did you replace the entire air intake? Which model of filter and/or intake did you install? Thanks!

Default Performance

New to the forum
I can validate first hand there are no programmers for the Equator.
I had an 08 Frontier and the programmer I had was suppose to work on a 2010 Frontier but it would recognize the truck
Superchips is not going to make one.
Hypertech needs request to do it.
http://209.12.144.7/requests.php
more request they receive the better chance we have.
I have the CAI from aFe and a throttle body spacer and a flowmaster muffler.
All but the muffler is off right now so they will fix my trans issue.
