Default B16a swap bogging???

I recently swapped a b16a into my 93 coupe and ever since I first drove it I has been bogging. Let me try to elaborate. From a stop if I take off at a 2k+ rpms it shifts and drive fine until I reach a cruising speed. So let say I take off and start cruising at 55 the will then start bogging slightly, after that if I try to speed up the will bog and then dash forward. On the other hand, if I take off at a low rpm the will be sluggish until I come to a stop and take off at a high rpm. When the car is sluggish the car sounds deeper in tone. I dont know if this is connected to my previously stated problem, but if I hit vtec I can hear the motor switching over but theres no pick-up. I get nothing but a cloud of smoke. Yesterday I noticed that theres a minor oil leak coming from one of the cam seals. Could the oil leak be related? Any help is greatly appreciated.

What ecu are you using? Any mods done to the motor so far or is everything stock?

I am using the p30 that came with the motor. Its stock. The only thing I remember messing with is the tps. becuase I swapped out a dohc delsol TB so I had to adjust it. If I had adjusted wrong could that be the problem?

you shouldnt need to adjust the tps when putting it on the b16. and usually tps sensors are riveted on to the tb, so theres no way to really adjust it unless your using the throttle screw and that wouldnt make the car bog

Yes the tps will affect the way your car run. If the setting is off, your car will not run right because let said you're only half way on the gas, but your tps read wide open then the ecu will not give enough gas or too much gas. You need to adjust the tps to the correct setting. You can do a search on h-t and find the way to adjust the tps to the correct setting.
