Actually knowing this takes some of the heat off me as in order to do this I would need to put some other improvements on hold. This will allow me to get my car up and running to par and to see what Eman has to say.

Darn it! Didn't have access to computer today as I was in a class. If somebody backs out as test mule, I'm your guy. In lieu of that, it'll be interesting to hear reports from chip installations.

Awaiting reports.

E-man was the lucky man. be testing the chips when his newly acquired Euro arrives home after some fettling.

I will also post the results of our proposed visit to a Dyno dynamics rollng road, we hope to get a wide variety of cars there.

Forgive my ignorance but are chips soldered in to the PCB?

Very interesting. Finding a 85-86 Euro 16v LH is rather hard to find. I had no idea we can run the 85-86 US 32v LH in our Euros. Are there mods to that LH that have to be done by you John, or is the chip all I need?

I have the usual band aid mods to my Euro, like the 85-86US fuel damper on the rear drivers side and an adjustable regulator on the rear passenger side with additional fuel pressure. I assume I need to change all this back to the stock regulators that came with the Euro to use these chips?

No, they are usually plug in. However a few very early MY84 Euro EZ-Fs do have chips soldered directly to the PCB.

No mods required to the US 85/86 LH :-) Just fit the new chip...

If you can set your adjustable FPR to 35psi at idle, then you're good to go, assuming iut isn't a rising rate device.

This is a further development of that chip. I offer a trade in discount for your old chip.

The old chip gave about a 4% gain, the new chip pretty much double that.

John,
Will those chips work in this setup which you provided for Euro 84?

The LH will be fine, you just need to lift the lid on the EZ-F to see if the chip is in a socket or soldered direct to the board. If the latter, I can fit a socket for you.

I've just added a first draft of the install instructions for the Euro performance chips at the bottom of the web page:

John, with US brains and these chips will the O2 sensor still be functional?

Any impact on smog inspection, 1500 and 2500 rpm sniffer test?
