Default momo253's Eg8 build

okay so i bought and eg8 i was stock everything but a slapped on turbo kit and exhaust so on my way how on a 98 degrees day and a 3 hr drive i blew the head gasket and cracked the radiator... not good so i decide to do a "mini me" swap got a z6 a complete head z6 harness chipped p28 head gaskets z6 neew head gasket (y8 metal gasket) and i started to tear it down and then put it all back with the z6 harness. and first no spark-_- so i got a new cap and rotor fixed the problem there. then i had no fuel took out my resistor box. solder the wires to stock and got stock injectors cleaned all the connectors and got them to fire signal and power to all the clips all good there it was off time a little so i got it timed just right. still no start... so we tried to compression started it it started but very shitty. barely any power wanting to die the whole time if i wasnt at wide open throttle. put it in neutral and took my foot off the gas. died right out.. not get much compression. started taking my head off because i was going to get a new head since even from the top you could tell some valves were bent and what not.almost got it off with the little time i had but then had to stop that night i decide to just buy a whole new motor didnt want to go back to a bseries since all my hondas ive had and liked were bseries. i wanted to stick with a d series, i love sohc's since everyone doubts and talks **** about them that i see around and talk to. wanted to prove em wrong and show them the sohc is still a great motor just takes more time haha. so i decide one the jdm d1b sohc vtec. a whole 130hp should be here next week and ill take pics of the install and of the car tomorrow in our shop of the mini wire tuck and the empty bay. ill post pics tonight of how the car did look and how it does now.
it hasnt changed much but being on steelies and no engine. ill post more monday or tuesday when the engine comes in and we start the install till then ill post a few pictures.

give me you input and thoughts it only running 10 psi right now on and idk what trim.and no tune.
thanks for checking it out

First thought that comes to my mind is that if youre going to be running boost, regardless of how much or what turbo set-up you're using, you should tune it somehow. At least do a street tune using a wideband.
