Greetings,

“This fact was determined independently and almost simultaneously by Harvey with his late UK-spec box controlled by 'early' programming maps,”

Without the information requested in my posts #204 and #206 recorded, the information so far available is nebulous. Nothing has been proven and it is indicated that an after market EPROM is the cause of the reported problem/difference.

and by myself with a late JDM-spec box controlled by an early JDM TCU in our US-spec '92 Peacock Blue SVX.”

Are you advising on the basis of experience with your own car? Particularly interesting is the fitting of a JDM transmission in a US spec. SVX. Details would be appreciated, including specific before and after results, and how, when and where there was binding.

At this point you must appreciate that the only proof is, that you corrected a problem by changing the TCU. In point of fact the early TCU could have been faulty.
