Default 97 hx with obd1 jdm d15b swap why does it not run and bog out and not make enough power??

me and my buddy swapped a jdm d15b into a 97 hx and well this is what we have done so far. obd2 to obd1 jumper harness and obd2 distributor and obd2 injectors
obd2 alternator why would this thing bog out and not run properly does it have anything to do with the obd2 dizzy this motor has a cyp sensor and a wire that runs along the timing belt to the oil pan I believe. Well we need some help fast and we are running out of time. hopefully somebody can shed some light on this.
thanks .

The problem is that you've chosen the worst possible car to swap the wrong engine into - the Civic HX.

Add to that the already compex task of trying to get an OBD1 engine running right in an OBD2 chassis, and it's a recipe for problems.

I honestly can't tell you how to make it run right, and if you're in Cali then you are proper screwed because you can't make that engine OBD2 compatible due to it's lack of a boss for the crank fluctuation sensor, lack of a 5-wire o2 sensor, EGR, etc. etc.

Are you in Cali?

Are you completely retarded? The answer is yes. First of all, I didn't say anything bad about your POS but since you already think I did, I guess we can start playing that set of cards.

If you hadn't bought a piece of **** car in the first place we wouldn't have been in the predicament now would we? You bought the worst, pain in the *** model civic there is;; why didn't you just wait to find an EX? just because you were sick of driving your mommy and stuff i understand but come on man.
