Default Jdm h23 bluetopvtec doesnt run hard?

my friend did an H2b with the JDM h23 bluetop vtec stock motor but it wont run hard unless he advances the timming on the dizzy but then it iddles at 1,500 but if he retards the timming it idles normal but doesnt run as hard. it wont even chirp into second.
what could be the problem? everything is obd2.

GET IT TUNED. advance the timing and adjust the idle screw so it runs correctly for now.
