edit* get off my name bitch

 

What? Vtec STOPS at 7500 or you can't go past 7500 period? change your oil?

 

Your problem is you have an OBD-0 PR3 Automatic ECU.

 

how do you tell the difference between the 2 on the out side?

 

vtec with stock rev limiter stops at 7500 get a higher rev limiter

By the serial number.

Whats different about the serial number of an automatic?

 

You can tell by the letters in it, some where there is a picture floating around that shows the part of the serial number and lists all the different letters it could be and whether they are manual or automatic.

 

Ok here's your answer, grab your ECU and look at the last 3 numbers/letters in the serial number. Now compare to this list:

in 88-91 ecus (PM6, PR4, PW0, PR3, PM7):
5spd = 000, 001, 002, A00, A01, A10, J00, J001, C01, C00
Auto = J51, J50, A50, A51, 901, A60, C50, C51, X30, A80

I had the same problem a long time ago and I was able to find the post. There is a way to modify the ECU into being a manual ECU with the 8220 rev limit, it involves moving a resisitor. I did it, it was very hard since the resisitor is a surface mount piece so it's very tiny but it did fix my rev limit.
