besides not using the correct ecu, have you change the spark plugs and wires? have you checked you timing? The ecu is the most important thing that you are missing!!

You need the gsr P72 ECU from a 94-95 integra gsr!!! That D1.5b Ecu is the problem!! you mapping is completely off. and that Ecu is for a sohc instead of a Dohc which your gsr motor is!!!
