Icon2 88 civic, dpfi to mpfi, hits rev limiter at 3800 rpm?
so heres what i got, hopefully somebody can help me figure this out. i got an 88 civic LX with a 91 civic SI motor with a z6 head. the harness is LX just added the 2 wires for the dist (also form a 91 SI), and the wires for the resistor box. I got the car running today, and it idles fine, sounds good, but when i go to rev it up it sounds like its hitting the limiter at around 3800-4000 rpm. I cant figure it out. Any ideas?

thanks
