Default CEL above 3000RPM?!?!?!?!?! HELP!!! (yes i already searched)

So I posted this in the tech forum but i guess no body wanted to help.

Please Please Please... for the love of everything v-tech HELP!

so heres the situation (short version) i have a jdm b16a2 (jdm p30 ecu) with a drag gen3 turbo setup. just like the title says... as soon as it revs past 3000 RPM or starts to get boost the check engine light comes on, and as soon as it revs down past 3000 RPM or comes out of boost it goes away. i'm thinking it's just a bad sensor some where (posibly v-tech related) but i'm not sure. The only code its showing is a 36 (jdm traction control?). Anyone have any ideas, sudgestions, or just words of encouragement for a helpless honda noob?

What ever the ECU says is right, get that code fixed and call it a day, I had a similar problem, A CEL light would turn on after hitting 4K rpm, I would turn the car off and turn back on, and it will dissappear and be repetitive, Till I found out my TPS was faulty, got a new TB with sensors, solved the problem.

If you are boosting and aren't running a chipped ecu then most likely you would need a missing link to bypass the boost from the map sensor.

bingo, or run a standalone system with your stock ecu.

my bad... i should have mentioned it earlier. its running hondata with the boost option. the only code i'm getting is cel #36 traction control (jdm ecu's). this is driving me nuts. plenty of oil and coolant. no leaks (exept a tiny bit of oil comming from of valve cover breather). and she still shreds tires like always.... except for the damn cel!!!! AAARRRGH!! i feel like charlie brown right now...GOOD GRIEF!!

any other sudgestions?
