Default b16 runs, goes into vtec, throws no codes, but doesn't pull

Finally got it running, but I had to run it on the D16 injectors because the B16s are broken, I suppose that could be a possibility but I didnt think my injectors were much smaller. Also I think it could be that a vacuum hose is not hooked up correctly, I used this diagram here: http://www.geocities.com/droppedcrxsi/vacuum1.htm , but instead of just one cylinder like the purge, I have two and the one on the right side is unused. I'm going to check my timing in a little but I don't think that would account for how slow it is.

injectors are the exact same thing, even with no vacuum, the car should still rip at WOT.

its super sluggish, if feel no difference in vtec, it just gets louder, and out of vtec it pulls worse then my d16

Dont feel bad just taking out the second solenoid right next to the purge control solenoid. Its not used on the jdm b16.
As far as the power loss, idunno.

Take off the distributor cap and see if your rotor is loose.

sounds like timing, mine did the same thing cuz i thought the timing would be set from it last ran. but that was not the case it was retarded to like tdc. set it to 16deg (running n2o) 145 on the dyno. now i have it at 19 and i just retard it before i go to the track.

that reminds me... did you change your timing belt during the swap? i didn't and decided to race at the track the night i got it running

it didn't feel like it was pulling like it should so we pulled into the pit and it died suddenly (thank got at idle)

turns out the belt was stretched... i guess that happens when a motor sits for 11 years

good luck, cause after that it pulled pretty hard in vtec.
