Rpm cut off at 3,500rpm

I need help. I have a 5 speed swapped SVX, CEL isn't on, just rpm cut at 3,500rpm most of the time. Here's a video of it in neutral, does it in all gear though (really jarring in gear of course)

Where does anyone go for help with the SVX these days? This is so sad compared to how this forum used to be back when I first joined...

Re: Rpm cut off at 3,500rpm

How long has it been doing it?
How long ago was it converted to 5 speed?

Just the past 2 days. A month ago.

I have saved CELs for both O2 sensors, but nothing current. If somehow both O2 sensors were out, would it run right or cause this?
