Icon6 redlining/rev-limiter early @6,500-6,7000rpms in my 88 rex with jdm gsr! help please

My car's running strong oils fine, no cel's vtec is hitting but i'm redlining at about 6,500.

i searched and those had all ended up at dead-ends; Hoping this will be different!

-i'm running a 94 jdm gs

-i have enough of that bommb Royal Purle Oil in my motor!! haha

-i'm using my 0bd0 pr3 (jdm b16) ecu.. i'm going to get it re-maped to the gsr base map soon.

..So far what i got from searching, please verify,: check oil pan for dents ("not enough oil pressure") and check vtec solenoid screen

Thanks in advance peeps!!

When you say you are redlining, do you mean you are hitting the rev limiter?

Even a auto ecu should be higher when I searched. It said a manual around 82-8300. Auto 7800 I think

try changing your plugs, wires and use high octane gas
I was using 87 and had the same problem with my b16. I changed my plugs, went to 93 and no more woes. Maybe a fuel filter too

what if you are throwing a code..... you should just take it to auto zone and let them check your codes for free. JUST to make sure if it really is throwing any codes. My type r engine had the same problem but i was throwing a code 6. it only let me rev to 65 like you untill i fix it and now at 89

Have you tried putting your ecu in another car? Might just be a bad ecu.
