Camden,

Exactly what motor do you have?

Also, I'm curious as to your interest in installing a Saab ignition. Are you
after the "APC" system?

I have a little project of my own I've been working on. I am using a Bosch
LH-Jetronic (hot wire) system on a 2.0L VW motor. The motor was previously
used a Bosch CIS system. I've "bench tested the entire system (worked
perfectly) but I'm saving cash up to buy an adjustable fuel pressure
regulator so I don't have to change fuel pumps (I'll have a little extra
pressure too).

My reasoning for this is simple: eliminate the air restriction of the
metering plate on the stock CIS system. Between the airflow increase, and
the extra fuel (and timing) I'm hoping to see a significant increase in
horsepower.

I have not integrated the Saab ignition as of yet; VW's electronic system
(with knock sensor) is similar (if not better) than Saab's system.

I'd be curious to know what you're up to; maybe we can swap info!

PS I have LH bins if you need them.


Chris
