Well i tested spark, it has spark tested fuel, it has fuel, tested compression,it has compression but cylinder 4&5 are still not igniting so now i am going to switch it with another rb20det. Now i will be adding a lightined flywheel to it. it has an 8 puck semi metallic clutch, ARC supercooler sidemount intercooler, and a tomei tuned ECU. I also have a FAST tuned ECU for the Rb20det for 175 dollars. let me know if anyone wants it. The ecu is a Fast tuned ecu Built by TBO.

Umm, if you have all 3 good things on the engine, then your timing (like the belt) is off. You only need 3 things for combustion: spark, fuel, and timing. But if you have compression, then the timing should be correct. Which leads me to believe that the coilpack would be the problem; maybe the spark plug isn't grounding out against the head well?
