i just installed my motor like i said in my last post on my vtec to ecu problems.. well i finally found out how to install it and a homie from hmo sent me the instructions and what i'm missing was my vtec oil pressure line and the vtec solenoid line. well now i just have a question about all you ef owners with a b16 swap.. okay here's my problem.. i don't have my vtec hooked up unfortunately and i drove it around a bit for the first time.. my exhaust is unbolted from the cat and on, and the first thing i noticed was my smog... too much black smoke.. grrr.. and when i tried flooring it from first gear, as soon as the rpms passed 3-4 thousand, my car bogs crazy.. so maybe i'm thinkin' too much fuel eh?? or could it be that my vtec isn't hooked up? or maybe i just need to break in my motor.. or is it because it's not corked... please reply to this asap!

 

get it all hooked up. run it for a while and drive it...it will clean out. the motors get a lot of **** in them sitting that needs to be run out

 

it could be running rich due to not having the o2 sensors hooked up right, but I wouldn't worry about that black smoke yet. Who knows how long that poor motor sat around. I hope you changed all the fluids.

Do this first, then get back to us. Too many things that COULD be the problem.
