Default B16 civic is SLOW

literally i can run down the road faster than it.

i just swapped in the b16, the car was one of those gay dual port injection things b4 so i think i might have screwed up LARGELY on my wiring.

anybody have any ideas what I should check over???

make sure you vtec silinoied is hooked up properly, also you may need a new resistor box, also you might just have bad injector's when you swap,specially a jdm motor always change plugs wires cap and rotor if nessecary, injectors and dont run synthetic oil run cheap oil for 500 miles and change it cause these engine have been sitting for a year at least and have build up inside the egnine, well keep us updated

i checked over all my wiring and its dead onto the directions i have,

and for whoever said do a search, i have and i have all the wiring right so don't just post up SEARCH.

anyone have a link to instructions i want to see if they match what i have.

also if i unbolt the fuel rail and turn the car over will that show me if my injectors are working if i aim them in the air

You didn't hook up the CKP Sensor (Crankshaft Position Sensor) right code 4

and you have the IAT Sensor (Intake Air Temperature) and IAC Valve (Idle Air Control) switched around or unpluged. &lt;-- this will cause what you are describing. I did this once, the easy way is to look at a friends ef and see if you have the wiring colors matching up with those sensors. if i'm right (i'm pretty sure i am about code 10, 14) you owe me a coffee

very possible.. I've done the dist on both my ZC's and my buddy has had the same problem with his b16a. Always a great idea to try out a buddies dist when a CEL hits.
