Default B20 in ek wont start

so ive been workin on my b20 swap on the weekends. well last week it started just fine, but this week i put my chipped ecu in and it wouldnt start. at first i thought it was my ecu so i asked my neighbor(has a b18 in a crx) if i could use his to see if mine wouldf start and got the same result. 3 or 4 really fast loud clicks and my boost gauge controller, air/fuel and oil press flickering in sync with the clicking sound. my guess is the starter, but i also fixed my evap unit(wasnt installed the previous week when it started). so i dont think thats it but was just curious if that could be the problem. like i said, i think its the starter but am not sure
