Engine breaking up past 7K RPM please help ASAP
Hey guys i just recently did a swap to my (00'EK) i put in a (95'B18C1) Using an (00'Si Harness and ECU). At first it was NOT reving pass 4K and i fixed that problem and it started running fine but today out of the blue it started sputtering or breaking when i would hit about 7K to 8K any ideas? it didn't do that b4 it would hit 8K no problem, so im stumped what can it be any clues? One more thing sometimes the vtec won't kick in! I need help ASAP!
P.S. Could it be because im using a SI ECU instead of the GSR ECU?

It's probably the ECU.

No thats not my question becuase on many other fourms they say you could use an SI ECU and it should run fine, that the only problem would be that the SI ECU is a lil more sensative than the GSR ECU.
