Default 93 DX with LS motor swap, doesnt wanna run

ok i dropped in a 1995 LS swap into a 93 DX chassis that was previously wired up for a n ITR motor , ecu it ran on was P28 with hondata. NOW i purchased the chassis and put in a 1995 LS motor. Plan was to go turbo, so i threw in the 440's and the Apexi AFC. trimmed it down to -50 all the way because myturbo set upw as not ready to be installed. it started up and ran just fine. but when you gave it gas, such as quick jabs to rev it up etcc or anything really past 3K itll bog out and itll seem liek the motors dead. So i figured i'd take out the 440's and put teh afc back to 0% across the board, give or take 1-3% fuel trim. the car doesnt want to start now, it splutters and shuts off, over and over again. i put back in the 440';s it seems like it wants to turn on and then splutters to death again. any ideas??>?!*#(

Check the spark plugs..if they're super fouled the car won't start. Happened to me in the past.

What color are the spark plugs?

Did you replace the timing belt? Do a compression test as well.

perhaps the settings on the AFC is conflicting with the MAP sensor. Have you tried turning off the AFC and running the engine in stock form ?
