Default b20 turbo project wont start ..help

i have a 92 integra and i put a b20 engine in it. i did everything the same as the b18. i even swapped the b18 intake manifold. It cranks, get spark and fuel.no start. Ugh. its really annoying. Any suggestions? What should i check now? any help would be appreciated. I have no idea why it wont start.

Check the ground on the Thermostat, and on the tranny. Both will keep it from starting.

thanks for your comments the only thing i can tell u is that when i just installed my b20 it did the same thing it cranked over but nothing what i did was i changed my 450 injectors back to stock since i dont have a fuel pressure regulator and the bitch started right up thats what i can tell u but also check the grounds

Here's the holy trinity of diagnosis: Fuel, Fire, Compression?

are the ignition wires on in the correct order and is your cam timing ok?

if those are good, do a compression check.

try removing the dizzy, rotating the rotor 180 degrees, and bolting it back on.
