So here's the run down... my ca18det is in my s13. Ecu power is good, injectors are good but no spark. So yes, i did my research. I still need to test my ignitor, and cam sensor (had to research how to test them, found that in fsm) but i did test power at the plug where the chassis meets the ca wiring harness, which was good (12V). 255lph walbro is working great, Fuel is routed correctly using a FPR which gauge which is set at 36.3psi/2.55kg/cm2. Injectors are spraying fine (hear them clicking while cranking).

So everything looks good except for no spark. She cranks, but obviously no combustion. So here's where more research came in, looks like i need to wire up the drop resisitor. Now that's obviously attatched to the chasis from which my motor came from so i ordered a 1g turbo injector resistor box. Looked up how to wire that and now all i have to do is wait. So i'm thinking that should fix everything right?

So i do more research to find out if there could be anything else... and i find out some people mod there cars by taking the drop resistor out? If thats the case, that means that the motor should still run with out the 1g resistor box? Or am i just missing something? And if there is anything else out there that i have failed to find, please let me know! I want to get her on the road!

Here are some pics of my bay...This is before the wiring, and battery install.Aaand here's my daily for now...
