My friend just bought a 2000 Em1 Si with a Gsr swap. the car doesnt feel it up to par. the cars acceleration feels very laggy. We changed the plugs.. wires and oil. It feels nothing like a gsr. when you floor it.. it just feels like something is holding it back.. any ideas?

ignition timing????

9secondcivic

and yes its to big for a stock motor and its proable got a bigger throttle body...that manifold and throttle body are for a motor that has work done to it and thats tuned....things like that have to be tuned ,jus slaping it on is jus going to make it look good but go no where.....
