vtec comes in at 5500, when you get to 62/6300 rpm is where it makes peak power.... it also sounds like there is a "second stage" if it never reaches this point then there may be some issues.. mine wasn't doing it for a while but it was just a vss going bad, would drop me out at 6.2-7k

the things that come to my mind is knock sensor (but vtec still works) oil pressure, or temp.. but those are just shots in the dark

Any CEL's? What harness are you using? 99-00 Si engine harness? Or are you using the stock 96-98 harness, with a OBD2b to OBD2a jumper harness?

http://www.hondata.com/techecuid.html a y8 is a single cam so no it won't work, but a P2T will work, it may be an obds -obd1 converter cable that is letting it work in your car... I'm kinda confused by the question(s) edit: check these vs your harness http://technet.ff-squad.com/wiring.obd2a.htm vs http://www.superhonda.com/forum/f5/o...inouts-204229/ (scroll down)
