Default Car not started after fuel injector install, please help!

So i recently installed a turbo kit on my car. Basically a drag gen 3 kit. I drove around with stock injectors and chipped ecu for lsvtec for a little bit with no problems. I also have a 255 walbro fuel pump.

Today i installed RC sl4-750 injectors and put in a basemap that i ordered from xenocron for my setup.

So i put everything back together with the new basemap. Before starting the car i turned the key on and off about 3-4 times to build pressure in the fuel system. So i start the car and it's sputtering like crazy with a low idle. It runs for a few seconds to a min and just dies and a small puff of smoke comes out the exhaust. It smelled like gas.

There is no leak around the injectors or anything and the car was running fine before.

Now the car cranks but it won't start. What can be the problem?

Thanks in advance

you need it tuned for those fuel injectors....a basemap chip is useless for anything other than a paper weight...

tow it to a tuner and have them tune it properly.

xenocron is pretty decent at getting bases right (or so seeing peoples exp here says so, if that makes sense)

but even still every car a little different will need a tune. but, how do the plugs look? are they dripping?

maybe you flooded it while priming? its a long shot, but you need to look at the 2 changes made FIRST.

look at the base and the injectors.
