Default ep3 k20a2 swap, and now car wont start

ok, heres the deal, my buddies doin the swap, everythings done. but the car wont start.
k20a2 engine
k20a3 trans
k20a2 ecu
k20a2 engine harness
k20a3 chaging harness
k20a3 knock sensor

sounds like the injectors arent firing. i tried finding a writeup to see if theres anything electrical has to be done. but no such luck finding anything

the only thing i found is that the k20a2 knock sensor has to be rewired, but thats all i found. the stock k20a2 knock sensor was broken when he got the engine, so he swapped the one from the a3(wondering if thats my issue, or the pinout is different on the charging harness)

also when you go to start the car, the check light flashes 5 times then shuts off(my buddy has my scanner, and i cant get a hold of it). any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks in advance

i found something on the immobilizer having to be reflashed to the car, which is what im leaning towards, but any help would be really appreciated
