The fifth injector is there for homologation only and it isnt connected. The ECU will be alright, although it may have a higher rev limit.

Better would be a MY95/MY96 Z4 ECU, which will raise the engines output to a notional 260PS, over the 240PS of the earlier cars. Itll run perfectly well on pump super-unleaded fuel too.

as what gc8 said the 5th injectors isnt used and would require a different ecu to run this. i take it the ecu is out a wrx ra instead ov a sti ra else it wouldnt run so well so rev limiter will be same as ur old ecu's hope that helps bud
