Steve Wong chip install in 1985 EURO Carrera.

[RG5]

Hi,

First off, I know there are lots of SW threads, but my query is realating to an 85 model EURO car.

Has anyone installed a Steve Wong chip in an 1985 Euro/ROW spec Carrera?

I would like to know if there is any specific installation procedures relating to the chip swap.

Such as whether the chip with just be a straight swap or whether any pin conversions have to be carried out, additional desoldering of circuit board contacts, etc etc.

I kind of recall something along those lines being required, but just need some confirmation.

I am thinking of ordering this chip as my next upgrade. I will probably go a custom EURO chip as my car has SSIs and a 2in, 2out sport muffler. Car should go pretty well with the chip I think.

I have also emailed SW himself but would like some feedback from Pelicans.

Cheers

RG5.

I have a SW chip in my 1984 Euro. Swapping the chip in and out is a piece of cake. It's a straight swap. No modifications needed. No soldering or anything.

Well, that's what my swap was like.

Steve will give you all the answers to your questions. He is a straight-up guy....

Some install tips -

I think in your car you will need to de-solder as opposed to having a chip socket.

Just in case, make sure you earth yourself before handling the chips. I wrap bare wire around wrist/ankle and run this to an earth/ground point in the garage.

It takes a bit of skill to de-solder; if you are not really really good at it, get someone who is otherwise you can mess things up.....
