What determines where the rev limiter is on our cars? Is it the ECU? I didn't even know that our cars had a rev limiter until a while back when I was going through the gears and hit 6200 in second and I thought i had blown my motor. I let off the gas and was relieved to find that all was still good. I have the b6me and ecu out of a 92 mx3 and I believe the redline is 6000 on this motor. So if in the future I decided to go with a b6de with a redline of 7200 would I also need to change the ecu. I thought b6 ecu's were the same. Also don't the 94-95 mx3 1.6 dohc have mafs instead of vafs? The reason I am considering this engine is because from what I read it has about 15 to 20 more hp than the ME and actually gets better mpgs. I love the bp but I think I read a post from Eurotiva that said if he drives lika a little old lady he gets about 30. Is this because he is boosted or would that not matter if you kept your right foot under control? I realize that he has the b8me not the bp. Which of these two engines would be an easier swap? Since I have the Me from the mx3 I already had to beat in my firewall about 2 inches. I think you have to fab motor mounts for both right? Sorry for all the questions but I like to research as much as I can before deciding. I know you guys have done all these things and can answer them. I found the answers to some questions using the search feature but not these. Thanks
