Default h22a into my hatch question Yes ive searched

so i completed my hatch...has jdm h22a motor and runs no check engine but i have a problem, car feels slow, sluggish, feels like an ls. I know what this swap is capable of and mine is not even close to it, when vtec cracks it feels like it gets even slower and starts to bog a little

I am running a stock p28 ecu, ive tried searching but no luck, does anyone have an advise on what the problem might be? Thanks

Get the right ecu.

Though honestly, having a p28 sounds like a decent excuse for some cams and a tune.

u have to run either a p13 or a reprogrammed p72 (programmed for h22)

stock p28 is NOT good for a h22..Period
