Default I messed up my engine

I took off from the light and as i went in to second gear, it didnt go in and i was still on the gas. car reved up to about 9,500 or 10,000 due to my chipped p28 no limiter.. car imidiatly shut down, it does turn over but wont actually start. as it turns over the engine sounds the same as when you do a compression test. do you know what i mean, its like theres no compression i pulled the plugs out and they are all in one piece and look ok. is there a possibility i bend some valves or does this sound like a case of snapped t-belt, im really worried a i know its gonna be expensive to fix, could i have your ideas on what could be the problem

its a 93 civic W/98 gsr 95,000 km on the engine, (positivily sure)
what do you think it is
my car is a shop and i wont know anthing till tomorrow but i cant sleep
and need some reassurance

I use to own a DSM and im not positive about the B-Series engines but if its an interferince engine id say you got a bent valve or 16. I bent 8 valves in my Eclipse doing 145 in Illinois when my T-Belt jumped. Pistons just smashed the valves to peices oh well. Id say bent valves or maybe cracked piston rings. Just my .02 either way its a reason to upgrade to Skunk2 Valvetrain components or CTR Pistons...etc etc

i third that, valve float. and for engine sake, throw that ECU away, or at least get a rev limiter.

That why you need a rev limiter. Set it at 9500 because 99% of the people on this board have no business being that high anyway.
