Go over everything in your Helms. That way you don't have to second guess yourself.

it is not like it will explode i felt the same way for the first time to start the engine after i have done b16a swap.i rechecked and rechecked and made sure everything is ok then i turned on the key.but it was cranking for first 2~3 mins and then it fires up fine and runs smooth.

Could be the battery, could be the starter.

Try getting a jump. That'd rule out the battery.

The starter can click if it isn't being supplied with enough power to turn over the engine. It clicks after it's been engaged and is trying to turn over the engine, but can't actually crank the engine.

It could be either or. A jump from a full-power source would rule out power (battery). 125amps doesn't seem like a whole lot of juice to me, but these batteries are a lot smaller than the ones I grew up with.
