Default B18 into 89 Civic Troubleshoot

I swapped in a B18 out of a 91 Integra....when I stomp on the gas it bogs down like its going to stall.....then if I hold the accelerator down on the floor for a second the RPM's pick up and it runs like normal....but It almost stalls....Ive checked the troubleshoot guide in my Helms manual.....The motor has a intake, header, and a hollowed out cat....but its got OEM DX Exhaust on it still (I havent insured the car yet to get the exhaust done).....Ive replaced the fuel filter, New plugs(propperly gapped) and Ive checked all wiring.....it idles fine and runs smooth unless you really stomp on the gas.Could this be cause by the "Bottle Necking" exhaust...or could it be fuel pressure.....Im replacing the Plug Wires with some new 8.5mm ones today.....just incase its a spark issue.

Any help is appreciated !

Thanks

the timing seems correct....I've checked it a few times.....all the timing marks line up correctly....so the only thing could be ignition timing....but I dont have a timing light....Ive been using the trial and error method.
