Turbo Chips

[Frenchy]

Anyone know off hand when the DME & KLR Chips went from solder to push in fit on the Turbo variant cars, as i am looking at a set of authority "push in" chips for my 86 turbo.
Anyone had experience of Authority products good or bad ?
Cheers Jim.

I think all the turbo's use push in chips. The difference is the number of pins, there's 24 and 28 pin variants. Your 86 is 'probably' 24 pin, but why don't you open it up and check since you need to open it to fit the chip.

Morning All!

In these theme, I have a spare Motronic unit that contains a modified chip. I would like to open it to see what brand/make it is but wary of bending the tags (ten in total) in case they break. The tags are part of the zinc sheet cover and fold down over the aluminium base. I can see slight marks on the aluminium where a 5 mm wide screwdriver tip was used as a lever and on the tags, some of the oxide coating has come away at the point where they bent when it was opened to insert the modified chip.

Am I being too cautious?

Don't think they (Autothority) get great write ups on rennlist

Promax or Vitesse would be my first calls

Got a feeling the Autothority chips are for yank cars, so probably wont be set up for UK fuel.

Cheers Chaps,
I have Promax (Lindsey Racing) in my Turbo S, so better the devil you know i suppose, forgot about pin differences, the 220 is laid up at the moment, but will get and have a look at pin numbers.
I have a resprung wastegate for the 220, and a Bailey DV, just need a 3 bar FPR....................anyone ?

Billybod go steady and you will be OK with the alloy lugs.

I have an adjustablke FPR that is new and unused (afterwards I bought a Lindsey set that had the 3 bar FPR already. Asking 60 GBP delivered to you. Can send pictures tomorrow.

Cheers

Yes, about 10 years ago.
Those chips are old fasioned and their AFR is way too rich.
I have used self made chips which are based on Guru maps.
