check your timing and double check you spark plug.
do a tune up

 

done anything whacky to your cluster?

yeah, your cluster could be off

 

it's pointless to rev to 8k. 8k is out of your powerband.

 

either wacked cluster, or you could be having timing belt weakness - i had a bad tensioner and bad belt and struggled for 6200rpm... then with new belt and tensioner i blasted to the 7200's and up (no point in being there but for awe)

 

Same problem in my GSR hatch, stock Civic clusters are known to be off sometimes with swapped motors.

Considering the B18C1 power curve peaks at 7600 RPM, there is definitely a point to shifting at 8000.

 

what do you mean by cluster what is that

 

you know like gauge cluster. the thing where the speedometer and rpms and fuel and temp are...
