freshly rebuilt s14 ka motor swapped into my s13. s13 timing components and dizzy, ignition etc. 5 speed. no power options. new walbro 255 pump, sr injectors, stock maf, new starter, alt, reman dizzy that worked perfect on s13 ka before it blew. injen intake, megan exhaust, test pipe.

when key is turned on, car does nothing. no CEL(not the light on the dash or the one on the ecu itself)will crank when key is turned.
pump doesnt prime, no relays click, no other dash lights except the seatbelt and other small red ones on the right side of the cluster.
every connector by the fuse box in the engine bay is connected (at least the ones that have something to be connected to.
theres one big one that comes out of the main harness right by the throttle body that has 8 wires all different colors. have no idea what it is or where it goes. cant remember if it did on the other motor but its the same harness so idk.

need to get this thing running asap so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. text if you want.
thanks much. will post progress.

My guess was the ECU harness was not grounded or powered?
