    Default S14 Engine Problems HELP!!

    well lads,
    im currently buildin another track car i have a 1990 200sx shell and i fitted a 1998 s14a engine with jap ecu and loom!! now i have the engine in and ive done all the wiring and its running but heres my prob!!
    The car idles fine but when i rev the engine up abit it starts hunting and wont let me clearly pass the revs, its like its missin but on a big scale!!!the coilpacks are sending spark to all 4 cylinders.heres what ive found that could be causes but let me know what you think!!

    1)Spark plugs keep coverin over with carbon soot even after a clean,that means its runnin rich i guess but why??

    2)Im still running a standard ca18 fuel pump on the sr20 engine, would that be a big enough cause to stop it revin out?

    3)Think poss the water temp could have wrong signal, where is it located on the engine just so im sure??

    4)I havent an exhaust for the car yet the lack of back pressure from that wouldnt cause it to run like that??

    Any one have any ideas id like to know need it going asap cant think of much at the moe i think its air or fuel dats the prob but dont know sbodys well!!

    Heres a clip but not great.
