Hi !

According to tests with equal HW in same setup except
THE ECU, I can speculate following:

AAN 551B ECU (3bar) with SAME German made sharp
             RS2 EPROM sw  runs too rich compared to run in
ADU 551B ECU (3bar)

***   ---> ECU=B4s are not the same   ***

I=B4ll try to get some information
how to compensate the AAN ECU HW
difference(s)in SW   when native based RS2 551B or 551C  SW
 is run in  AAN ECU.

All help and comments wellcome .

Rgs,
Tommy

PS. A200 conversion testing completed and NO SW or HW problems :)
  =3D it resulted very smooth, but barbarian T5 Coyote Symphony

(well minor change need is to get the mixture slighly leaner
 between 2400 - 3200 RPM during light drivable load conditions:)
