Hello again
Im gonna try to make this short so please take your time,thanks.
I had a B20 which ran like crap, sputter rough idle things like this. I swapped in a B28 but i kept the wiring harness, ecu and all the accesories.
First thing the Crankshaft position sensor was bad, i changed it and the car was running like in heaven.
4 days later it beggan to run like crap at the first crank(slowly gain in rpms while starting, then when it reached 1000rpm it died)
The engine stalled when i engaged the clutch, but not all the times.
I beggan to check the engine very close, heres a list with the parts and things that i checked:
-Vacuum leak: Fuel pressure regulator hose had a crack in it so i changed it, all the other hoses are intact.
-Idle control valve: I had cleaned the icv, also i bought another one just to be sure but with no results.
-Injectors: I cleaned them and also watched them on a INPA diagnose to see if they run in parameters and its all good.
-Valve cover: all the gaskets are new.
-Oil filter housing: new gasket.
-Spark plugs: New.
-Coil packs: New boots and running good.
-Compression: 14bar(203psi) max 12bar(173psi) min.
-Oil feed line for vanos: New.
-Intake: new gasket.
-Throttle body: new gaskets.
-MAF rubber boot: new.
-MAF: cleaned and good.
-O2 sensors: good and running.
-Wiring harness: intact and good connectivity.
-Crankshaft position sensor: New and oem.
-Camshaft position sensor: New and oem.
The things i didnt checked yet:
-ECU
-Fuel pump
Im gonna leave here a link to a video with a cold crank:

If you have any sugestions on which thing i should check next please reply, as i said i ve been fighting this problem for over a year now and i cant find the problem.

UPDATE: The problem was CCV, membrane had a tear.

B20 ecu with B28 software (ms41)
The guy who installed the b28 software told me that its the stock one.
"Compression: 14 max 12 min"
What are the units of this? Are you measuring in bar? It should be around 160-200 psi

Sorry for not mentionig that, yes its in Bar.
I would just replace the fuel pump because they are not the same model.
