Default problem trying to start after swap

i have a 98 civic ex and i put a b18c in. i have the engine in a hooked up, i've tried to start she turns over but never cranks. when i turn the key on it the fuel pump never primes. i have checked all the fuses. i also never hear the main relay click when i turn the key on. i plan to buy a new relay when i get paid. but nwhat else could prevent the fuel pump from getting power

Make sure you sand those down and re do them. And I believe there is one by the therostat
