Default Help car is losing power what to check for?

I recently had a b18b swap into my eg hatch and it was running fine til recently, seems like when you floor it or it passes 4000 rpm the car studders a bit and feels very heavy and doesn't want to go, however it does go except that it feels weak like it is choking or something like that.What should I check for I have check my throttle cable and that is fine ..any advice would be aprrecitated..

i would check your fuel pump and fuel lines for any obstructions
when you did the swap did you get a walbro fuel pump ?

like averyvm said check the fuel system, including the injectors. and you might also wanna check your ignition system.

OK here might ly the problem, when I bought this motor it didn't have injectors so I wire/put my civic dx injectors into this motor, someone told me that dx and ls injectors let the same amount of fuel out is this true or not? i was thinking eventually getting aftermarket injectors so I decided to put on the dx ones and save up for a new injectors and other misc parts for the motor...
