No vtec, check engine light, rev limiter at 7000rpm yup thats h22 limp mode. A few things to check, oil pan see if it has a dent in it. Happend to me I wasnt getting good oil presure blocking the pick up. Also happend once because I was running a VAFC and somtimes it would throw it into limp mode. Fun stuff good luck
