O...O that could be the case :0 i would get it checked out!

 

no offense to the ap2 but I luv my 9k.. I hope not.

 

That is what I was thinking. Either you got a AP2 ecu or mabie they flashed it with an AP2 flash, I am not sure if that would happen but if it is hitting a rev limiter at 8k than that is an ECU problem. If it just runs out of power at 8k than that is a timing or valve issue.

 

See if it will hit the 9k limiter in 6th gear...

 

redline in 6th gear..damn lol i dont think ive done that when my car was normal..im really thinking that it might be the values and timing or hoping so.

 

Are you hitting fuel cut at 8k? Or something else..

If its fuel cut, sounds like an AP2 ECU.

 

I cannot fathom any reasons why they would rebuild the engine and then throw on an AP2 ecu......

where would they have sourced an AP2 ecu from ? What purpose would they have for putting it on?

 

Me neither.. but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. We really need to know what happens at 8k before anything even resembling a conclusive response can be given. Hitting the fuel cut is a pretty recognizable feeling.

 

call the guy who rebuilt it .
