Default Mean Wobble after Swap, Cant get rid of it. Need some IDeas

I threw a first gen b16 into an 88 Crx Si, after the swap I have a really mean wobble that starts at around 90, but then continues all the way back down to 30mph. Go to park it and go drive around and its fine until you hit high speeds again and the wobble will stay all the way down the low speeds. Its coming from the front of the car, shakes the whole front really bad at the high speeds. The car didnt have this problem before it met the B, drove fine.

Hasport mounts
replaced Axels, correct half shaft
New Ball joints
Tires Balanced
Alignment
Swapped out front rims and tires also
Tein S tech for susp, stock shocks

Im running out of Ideas, Ive been under the car checking for anything lose and I dont see anything wrong. Im not a fan of paying a shop to work on my car, so im really trying to avoid that option. Also having someone else turning a wrench on my ride. Any Ideas would be very helpful

bad wheel bearings can allow your car to wobble, bushings..

Check your axle nuts. Happens if you forget to tighten them. Or even one of them.

I've known plenty of people who've gotten away w/ out doing this but there is a torque sequence for motor mounts and I've heard if you don't do it, it can cause serious vibration
