ok guys, i need some advice and help pretty badly...
i have a 95 civic ej2, it was in horrible shape when i got it, with a d16a6 motor and trans in it, a blown headgasket, and p06 ecu, and i belive a d16a6 wiring harness...so, ive bought a running parts car, with a d16z6 vtec, spun rod bearing. ive taken the complete vtec head off, with the dizzy and intake manifold still attatched to the head, and put it in top dead center, i put my a6 block in top dead center, put on a new z6 headgasket, sealed it with some headgasket stuff called indian head, and torqued down the headbolts. i hooked up everuuthing i could find that needed hooked up: vacuum lines, plugs, sensors, fuel lines, ect...i put a battery on, put the radiator on, put 3 quarts of oil into it, then plugged up a stock p28 ecu, and hit the key...it started and ran good, idled just a lil bit up and down, but not bad at all..i added coolant, got it all ready to drive. revved it up a few times, seeing what it had...ran great..THEN, i started pulling out into the road, as i gained speen and went up in rpms, the car starts sputtering and bogging, and wont rev over 3000rpms...but i can hold in the clutch, and rev it to the moon...im stumped..i think its limp mode, but whats causing it? i know the dizzy, plugs, wires and ecu are good, the car they were in ran perfect til it spun a bearing, then it was parked immediately, so there is no damage to the head at all. i may have hooked a couple plugs on the harness to the wrong sensors...also, i still havent wired up my vtec, but i dont think that should matter?? also ive heard that since im trying to use a stock p28 ecu with a mini me motor, i have to get the ecu chipped or tuned or something?? im not completely new to hondas and swaps, but im new to putting my own motor together and into my car with no help from mechanics or professionals...im on a tight budget, therefore i try to do everything i need to do on my own...could u guys help me here??? pics of a z6 intake manifold with the sensors labeled would help me greatly..i cant find one anywhere..like what are those sensors on the throttle body? and what are the 2 or 3 on the back of the intake called cuz i broke the nipple off that one on tge top back of it, the black one, on accident...but it was never hooked up on my a6 motor..not sure why...any help appreciated
