Default need help with ls swap

I recently just dropped a b181b in my 95 civic coupe. It runs right now but when i rev the motor or accelerate it begins to bog. The acceleration is very slow almost feels like i have turbo lag. I t will start slow then speed up quickly. Any comments. TIA

is your check engine light on? if so then most likely your o2 sensor is not working right or not hooked up right, i had the same problem when i got my b16a swap

Did you use the ECU from the b18b1 or the stock ECU that came with the car. I just did this swap in my 95 hatch and used the b18b1 ECU and have no problems.
