Default 99 Civic ex w/b18b1 swap not firing up? help?

ok so just finished my swap on my 99 civic ex
DETAILS-
1999 Civic ex
Recent broken motor b16a2 w/ex harness
New motor b18b1 ls obd1 94 integra
parts used-
obd2b to obd1 jump harness
p72 obd1 gsr ecu
b16 trans
ex harness
b16a2 fuel rail with injectors or y8 fuel injectors with fuel rail not sure if mines b16 or not? to make sure the fuel injectors clips in.
obd2 alt
obd2 96 dizzy so no cutting of ex dizzy harness.
all sensors hooked up o2 sensor on down pipe is connected as well.

ok so i tried to fire it up and nothing healthy cranking but no firing up..

so this is my questions-
What is it that im missing on my swap to make it start up?
faulty spark plugs-havent removed them out yet
dizzy is not timed right...but is connected in and bolted
fuel pump is priming and fuel is going thru
ground wires hooked up..
DO I NEED TO BYPASS ANYTHING?
WHAT COULD CAUSE IT NOT WANTING TO FIRE UP?
I KNOW IT WOULD THROW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR KNOCK AND VTEC...BUT WHY WON'T IT FIRE...
ANY HELP WOULD WORK PLEASE I NEED THIS CAR FOR WORK AND I WORK 30 MINS AWAY FROM HOME...SO TOMORW IS MY ONLY DAY OFF.
