Default new swap, car shakes when hard acceleration

oka i have a 94 civic ex coupe, i just put a b18b1 in it lasnight and now i have 2 problems actually not bad but the first is. when i get on it a little bit the car shakes a little bit, and i have a noise from the timing belt area i dont know if it is the water pump going bad or the timing belt being to tight causing a stress on the pump, the belt is real tight. thanks HT

sounds like it could be something wrong with the cv axles for the first issue. I would recheck all the suspension bolts for tightness and motor mounts as well.

my guess on the shaking is either bad axles or bad mounts. also what is real tight mean on your timing belt?

you should get the tightness check out for sure. too tight is bad. just like too lose. and im gonna say probably motor mounts. make sure they are good and tight.
