Yes pull the codes. Also what ECU do you have? Are you saying it doesn't pass 5800 RPMs?

5,800 is not the VTEC changeover point. That's when the secondary intake runners open, and unless you have a 94-01 GSR ECU, it's not going to open the intake runners.

You "guess" it is a p72, maybe should pull the ECU and confirm what it is.
What year is the GS-R engine?
Is it a USDM or JDM engine? 94
