What ECU?

The D15B2 is dual point fuel injection and uses 2 injectors.
D15B8 uses 4 injectors.

Your D15B2 ECU won't support the 4 injectors and you will either need to:
1) Do a DPFI to MPFI swap and use something like the D16A6 OBD0 ECU.
2) Put your old D15B2 intake manifold on the B8 engine.
3) Do a DPFI to MPFI swap AND convert to OBD1 and run the B8 ECU.

make sure all your grounds are conected..if u get no crank by ignition try starting it manualy by the starter
if the engine starts up then it just might be a relay,lose ground, or simple fuse..

..i freaked out to when i swaped my eg.just hapend to be the relays on the engine bay fuse box
