Cool Bosch Computers FI and IGN.

Hi BB'ers - Spent my firs long weekend playiong with my "new" 86 Quad and have the electrical gremlins under control .

I removed the MOMO Indy wheel and put back a factory wheel since the MOMO blocked the gauges, and I'm skinny enough to squeeze behind it. While fitting the woodruf ? Key in the steering wheel I threw a huge SPARK and got a real tingle myself. No fuses blew , but I then disconnected the battery which I should have done right away.

This got me worried about the health of my computers - they weathered this incident but I was VERY pleased when car started and ran well.

So here is my concern -
1) How reliable are the computers in the car??

2)Does it make any sense to buy spare computers from a junkyard???

3) Are there any performance Chips available?

and lastly - a big one for me -

4) Do the computers include a rev limiter function like the GTV-6 and if so when does it kick in?

I've taken it up to 6.000RPM with no incident. My GTV-6 would rev limit with a bang at 6300RPM - but it did facilitate worry free power shifts.


Thanks All !
