why are you using a vtec ecu on a non-vtec motor? what kind of chip does it have? is it one of those ebay chips, or socket/chip type of setup that's been tuned? your cel should be on, and it might be putting the ecu in limp mode, which would give you a lower redline.

I think it because you dont have a vtec motor, but could also be ignition coil also.

i'd definitely switch back to a stock ecu. obd2 ecus can't be chipped, so either the ecu you're using isn't obd2 or it's not chipped. once you're ready to tune your motor get a obd1 ecu and socket/chip it.
