Default having difficulty with swap

hey everybody, i just swapped a rebuilt GSR block into an EK and i'm having trouble with a few things.

1.) my car will not start what so ever. i'm getting voltage and a signal to the starter, but i only hear a loud click once whenever i attempt to start it. my battery is new, my starter is new... i'm wondering if my lightened flywheel has anything to do with it because it was off my LS swap.


2.) i'm throwing two codes: 1 and 54. i checked my wiring for the primary O2 and CKF sensor and i'm still throwing codes. the O2 sensor was a factory integra O2 with 130,000 miles on it. i replaced it with another sensor having about the same amount of wear and still throwing codes.

btw, i'm starting my car right now by using the rolling start method i call "ramming speed" is this bad for the motor???


thanks for any help or advice.

1) try the starter off the LS motor

2) make sure you clear the codes before you try to pull them again, alot of the time there may not be a problem but the CEL is still popping on from a stored code.

and i wouldnt jump start the car like that. its not that bad for the motor just dont do it alot.

Yes these are easily overlooked sometimes.
