Default Obd1 conversion runs terrible

So i finally got all the obd1 parts on my b16 crx. New conversion harness, new 4-wire o2, new dizzy, new phearable.net chip, and an obd1 pr3.
Unfortunately, it sucks. Car hesitates and bogs throughout the revs, with the occasional misfire at low rpm. No codes, and everything appears to be working. My ecu came with a gsr map, I tried that today and got a CEL for codes 2 and 23. I know 23 is the knock sensor and I assume it's because it was the wrong map. I emailed phearable and they were no help. I'm ready to put all my old parts on because it was running great. Any ideas??

Try a known good ecu and check fuel pressure. Timing is set?

Sounds like the conversion harness may be faulty? Or try another ECU that is known to be good?
