Is this supposed to happen?
i just swapped in a b16a into my 92 cx hb. i'm running a LS transmission have i/h/e and i don't have the b16 ecu so i'm running a LS ecu and a v-afc. well any ways i started it up and i get a CEL. but i decided to race it anyways. i call my fren over and he has a 90 integra LS i/h/e and crower stage 2 cams, nothing wild. well we race over and over and come 3rd gear he just floats by me like nothing. i lowered my vtec and the best i did was pull in 1st and 2nd but come 3rd i get murdered again. is it cause of my trans? or my ecu? wats goin on?! i have a turbo setup for this motor but i might not even bother to put it, i'm frustrated.

the gearing in your LS tranny isn't meant for that motor. you need shorter gears. also, get a proper ECU. an LS ECU and VAFC is not a replacement for the proper ECU.

what code you have? if you have a code like 3 or 5 or 1 that puts you into limp home mode then of course you car will be slow.....find out whats wrong, fix it, then race your car.
