Default Swap issues...vtec issues.

I am Having an issue with my swap. Have EX ECU, have vtec wired up correctly. However, I did a drive test and nows falls on its face at around 4700 RPMs..the timing is a little off though...a problem??. Before hook up, it run up to 5500 but thats it, I usually shift hard and run her up to only 4900 rpms because after that I lose power. Now my oil level is about correct level, maybe just a little below norm. You do need the right ECU. I found a factory tech Manual online via PDF search for free. Ive done my research...hours of it, Hours of getting Vac lines right, the IAC and FIAC and Air intake adjuster adjusted right...Because had issues with Idle.
One more thing...At the 4700 RPMS part, she misses alot and I just back off right away. I have it disconnected for now. Vtec does click when powered up, pressure switch...no Idea if its working correctly, dont have oil pressure tester. Thanks for looking! Oh its a F22B2 to F22B1 Swap, 5spd, correct ecu swap also...also have engine wire harness from auto EX. 95 Accord LX.

When everything is hooked up, are there any codes. I would also check the timing, especially if you think it is off already.

That check engine light bulb is important, so keep the bulb plugged in. The challenge is to fix the problems.

Once you check for codes, you will have to determine if you have the vtec wired properly to the EX ECU.
