I'm in to see if one of these rev limit problems ever really gets solved. Apart from plugs getting switched I haven't seen it yet. And it's almost ALWAYS having to do with a swap of some kind.

I took the top end out of a 92 d15z1 eg hatch then I took the bottom end out of a 95 d16z6 out of a ex coupe, everything fit together besides the cam gear, got to use the d16z6 cam gear on the d15z1 head, I can rev it to like 6,500-7k and run just fine, I got the p28 non chipped ecu, it's got 4,000 miles on the build
