Default H2b swap in Ek - 80A Battery fuse blows

Finally finished the H2b swap in my friends EK and we went to hook up the battery and the main 80 amp fuse labeled battery blew. We tried it a second time and blew a second fuse. Im sure its something really stupid but i havent seen this problem before so if anyone can share some ideas it would be really appreciated. Setup is a 1997 ex with an H22A and a GSR transmission, using the EX harness and a P28 on Hondata s300

If you disconnect the large white alternator wire from the hood fuse box, does the fuse stop blowing?

A short to ground in the white wire or in the alternator.
