also it is throwing no check engine codes and you could not give it full throttle if u gave it full throttle it would bog down but if u gave it half throttle it would rev out. do u think it was the head cause of the blown head gasket and cam being weared down? again it throws no codes it has a p28 in it plz help as soon as u can

Dude, sounds like it isn't oiling properly. Once you get it back together, make sure to check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge.

i know when doing a mini me swap there is an oil squirter in the block that has to be removed to oil the head, i,m not sure how to make that head work on that block. look up a a6 block w/ y8 head mini me write up and do the opposite for the oil squirter is all i can tell you.

ok i didnt use an a6 head i found another y8 head but it is still doin it idk wha the hell it is does anyone think its the dash harness or wiring all together this is everything i have changed.....,fuel pump,injectors,iat sensor,map sensor,throttle body, throttle body gasket, intake manifold gasket, intake manifold, motor harness,dizzys,heads and head gasket. can anyone think of what it could be the only codes it is throwing is v-tec and O2 sensor which neither one of them can be the reason why it is doin this. again what it is doin is u give it full throttle it bogs down if u give it half u can drive it normal

what intake manifold and throttle body are you using. years ago i had a 95 DX that i put i y8 motor in. i had some phantom CEL's that would neber go away, mine was o2 and TPS. also what harness, ecu, and dizzy are you using?

hmm iono but it might just be something minor, like you dont have the spark plugs in the right order from the dizzy to the cylinder head iono just a thought and look into timing as well. and or map sensor might be loose or unplug, plugged or not all the way in .. check it out
