i did the d16y8 head mini me swap on my d16y8.....and the idle is sputtering really weird....i haven't hooked up the vtec yet so i was wondering if this would cause this......and the red line is early...i can't tell the rpm yet cuz i haven't hooked up my tach...but it's gotta be around 5ish cuz i red line in 1st at like 25.....just wondering if it had anything to do with the fact that i haven't hooked up the vtec solenoid and the cams were messed up some how????
 
If you are using a vtec ECU, and vtec is not kicking in then the rev limiter will kick in early, for instance on a pr3 (1st gen b16) w/vtec working 8200 rpm, no vtec 7100 rpm. hope this helps.
