Whats wrong with My KA24DE?

[SpecimenE03]

I installed a 98 KA24DE engine with 80k in my 95 nissan 240sx SE. For some weired reason when I floor it the car seems clogged up inside. The engine does not seem as powerfull as the old motor did. I used all stock 95 parts for the instal only motor was swaped. Any suggestions ???????????????

check the throttle cable, make sure the throttle opens all the way.

that's the only thing I can think of

go to http://www.ka-t.org and go to tech, and they have a write up on how to time it correctly, although you need a timing light (find someone who has one) make sure your idle is at ~700rpm, if you cant find the idle screw do a search in KA here as "idle screw"... hey its cheaper than having a mechanic do it
