How Do Lotus Performance Chips Work?
Rocket Chip performance chips connect through the vehicle’s OBD-II diagnostic port and communicate with the engine-management system. Rocket Chip performance chips use vehicle-specific programming designed to adjust fuel and timing-related parameters to improve throttle response and overall engine performance. The device remains connected while in use and can be removed with the engine off when needed for servicing or diagnostics.

Lotus Performance Chip Installation

Typical installation involves:
- Start the vehicle.
- Locate the OBD-II port, usually beneath the driver-side dashboard.
- Plug in the Rocket Chip.
- Drive normally and allow the system time to operate with the vehicle.
No wire cutting or specialized mechanical tools are required. Rocket Chip states that full performance benefits may become noticeable after approximately 50–150 miles of driving.
