Icon3 JDM B18C Swap wont start!! HELP!

I recently purchased a 2000 Civic SI with a full JDM B18C Swap, the car was hit in the rear and the front but mainly the rear. The radiator was bent in a little but nothing major, the car has been sitting for a year and was missing the distributor but i just put on a fresh dizzy from HMotors. Also she has a Chipped P28 not the stock Type-R Dizzy. I can get her to rumble but she wont turn over. i know the firing order is
3 4
1 2
4321 left to right

but for whatever reason she wont start! ive put in starter fluid and checked all of the fuses but to no avail, can anyone help?

Have you even checked to see if it is in fact getting spark?
Checked all grounds are intact?
Checked if its getting fuel?
Main relay good? Hear the fuel pump priming?
Car has power from battery?

And....what does this even mean?

Plugs and Wires are good, grounds good, fuels good and the main relay is good, and ive used 2 batteries one that came out of a running 00 civic and the other was charged to full.

What does "good" mean. What tests did you run to find this out?
