    D16 mini swap, running rough

    Hi guys, was originally gonna drop in my built bottom end and retune, but had few things missing, so for the mean time, ive dropped in a Y4 block to keep the car running as it is my dd...

    So basically im reusing my old Y8 vtec head on a Y4 bottom end, and now the car isnt drive able, pretty shattered about it lucky ive still got my weekend 4x4 toy to drive for mean time

    on idle, it it hunts up and down, than when u rev it a bit it dies...

    almost sounds like its on 3 cylinders, ive double checked all the injector plugs, checked the dizzy and spark plugs

    Now could it be because i installed the timing belt incorrect? missing a tooth or cam and crank werent aligned properly?

    I had replaced water pump, belt and seals since it was all out...

    Any suggestion as to what it is?

    cheers

    check your timing, check compression.
