Default ??? rev ??? limiter ???

my friend had a 97 ex with a blown sohc vtec motor. he later swapped the motor for a 98 sohc vtec motor (d16y7) out of a salvaged ex that was hit from behind.

the problem is ....

there is a rev limiter at 5500.

question ....

why is the rev limiter at 5500? ,, what is causing this etc... and how can this be fixed?

p.s. there was no tuning ... the motor was just dropped in hoping for the best.

-thank you for any help and responses.

SOHC vtec motor is a d16y8, not y7. What ECU are you using?

oops my bad

y7 is not vtec then?

im sorry im sloppy with the d series. i dont have much knowledge on them.

it is a y7 though. his old motor was a y8. i believe its running off of the y8 ecu.

That may be the problem. I think it may have to do with the ecu wanting to engauge vtec. Try a y7 ecu.
