Default swap issues (no start)

So tonight i went finish my b18b swap into my 89 crx Si tonight , i'm using a 0bd0 to 0bd1 conversion harness , got the proper distributer wiring and stuff in check , finished bolting things together went to crank it , it cranks but no fuel pump sound, no relay clicking sound, so we hard wired the pump, and it worked, but still no injector pulse...
Anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions ? And also can anyone tell me exactly where my main relay is ?

Did you eliminate the injector resistor box all together and use OBD1 injectors? If so, I would check your wiring there. Check your main relay since the pump isn't coming on when you turn the key. Also test your ECU adapter harness as they can have issues from time to time.

what kind of OBD0-OBD1 harness are you using? my friend used a place racing harness on a 91 crx hf and the car showed syntoms that you described. So we basically scraped the harness and modded the stock harness.HTH

so i eliminated the resistor box but the injectors still wont pulse , and we tested it out and it seems both wires going to my injectors are sending positive signals when the plugs are off , anyone had this issue ?

update

ok so the car cranks now and almost idle's , but it cuts off . my question is are the injectors suppose to have constant power ? or intermitent power? and also is the fuel rail suppose to be grounded in any way ?
