Okay so as much info as I can give
Body is a 98 civic lx
Engine was a d16y8
Head was a d15b7
4-2-1 headers
P2p ecu
All motor
So I swapped in a d16y5 vtec-e which is my first time messing with a vtec motor, wired it all up and it purrs like a kitten. Only issue is it won't rev up. Just boggs and falls flat on its face. Put a new distributor, plugs, wires, injectors and reset the ecu without any change....anyone had this issue with a motor swap? any help would be greatly appreciated.
