need injector help on motor swap
 

Hi all, new to forum.
I recently replaced a D16Y8 motor from a 1996 into a 2000 ex. car runs fine but seems like it takes forever to rev up. Seems very under powered. I was wondering if they run different injectors. I have old manifold from original 2000 motor. Can I just swap injectors?
The only CEL I have is the P1457 i'm chasing down.

Car seems like a real turd power wise.

thanks
Jim

Assuming the 1996 and 2000 were both D16Y8 VTEC....the parts catalog shows different part numbers for the fuel injectors --- but I have no specs for flow rate. Swap them and see what happens?

Check cam timing?

I'm thinking possible bad cat now, it just seems really lethargic

What happened to the old engine?

Was there a lot of misfiring when it died? Misfires and dumping unburned fuel can kill a cat quick.
