Default Will not rev up after"B16 swap"

I just dropped in a jdm b16a with original d16y8 wire harness,only things switched as far as wiring is plugs to the alternater,piggyback to obd1, and a piggyback off the dizzy to obd2.
The car starts and runs until you touch the gas, then rpms go down until let off. Ive tried different throttle bodies/tps,and have traced all of my wiring.
car has been down for almost two weeks now so any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like a vacuum leak for sure. Did you bother to replace the hoses?

Those skunk2, spoon, mugen, etc etc eBay chips are trash. Get a ECU for that motor or have a chip burned with the base maps to that motor.

I just made the mistake of having the map and tps backwards today and this is exactly what it did.

Even if the tps isnt calibrated, it will still run the car and let it rev up and everything. It wouldnt cause the problem the op is having. What cel's are you throwing?
