ok so i have a 95 gs-t and im having problems with my car. i just got it today and its sputtering and when acclerate and the boost kicks in. we checked for a leak or hose clamp and nothing. most of the parts from the old motor had to be put on the new motor because nothing on the new motor seem to adapt to my car. there is no check engine light on so..dont know what could be wrong. someone told me to check if it was a jdm motor or a USDA motor. i checked the site and it is a jdm motor. is this the reason why and how can i have this resolved. not to mention i couldnt use the new turbo from the new motor cause it didnt adapt to my car, so i had to throw my old turbo back on.
 
if you did the swap yourself than you should start poking around under the hood if you paid somebody else to do it than take it back to them and have them fix it. WHich jdm engine do you have? What intake manifold are you using? Post some pictures of the engine if you can
 
my mechanic did it for me and everything except the block and internals was taken from the old motor to the new motor. ill get the pics up later today cause it wont let me upload them
 
Sounds like you have 6 bolt internals in a 7 bolt engine. Which intake manifold are you using? Does it say cyclone on the top of it?
