im not a pro at this by any means but i ran into issues with my d16y7 not idling, i had a blown head gasket. make sure your IAC and MAF are compatible, and clean.

hope this helps.

also, the idle screw on my TB was a 7mm nut and a allen key. idle is 750rpm i believe

You conveniently skipped a huge question - Is the CEL on? Does it work?

So the engine has never run well after the swap.

Your highest priority must be to solve the overheating problem. Start by topping off the radiator and reservoir with coolant and then properly bleed the cooling system.

Next wire up the cluster and CEL and pull the codes.

Post again after you do these things.

Was that a serious question? Yes if your car jumped a tooth you have to check and reset your timing.

Maybe you should stop putting overpriced parts in the motor until you figure out what's wrong with it.
