Just got my wiring specialties harness today for my rb25, and got everything all plugged in, i have fuel and spark and definitely good compression. I have an aftermarket adjustable regulator but its ebay, it reads 15psi and 20psi and sometimes itll spike 30psi, and wont adjust no matter what i change. I pulled off the cas and turned it and the injectors all fired, i turned it a whole lot. Went and turned it over and it fired up for a second then died. Im confused, ive been working on this forever and this is my only issue. Please help

Either you aren't getting enough fuel due to the fuel pressure being way too low, or your timing is off (could be ignition and/or valve).
Get a fuel pressure regulator that works, verify valve timing, and get the car running to verify your ignition timing.
