First off, any CELs? The ECU could be in limp mode, thus not letting you rev past 4000rpm

You've got the wrong engine in there. You need a d16 or at least a a y8 head on the block. You could also get an obd1 ecu but, you won't pass emmisions.

He can use that motor just fine. He does need a OBD1 ECU though. Which, could be the issue here.
