It's alive...... again.
My motor came to life last night. This is the second time I've built this motor as a winter project. I wasn't concerned about the motor itself, rather the wire harness. On my quest for simplicity (read: "lighter weight") I gutted every wire harness in the car. The result was roughly the removal of 10lbs (wires, brackets, connectors). I ended up only needing 3 fuses 
So anyway, I finshed the wiring in my aluminum dash and I thought I would give it a shot to see if it would fire. I was all nervous that I had fugged something up in the ignition panel wiring.
I flipped the switch, fuel pump primes, vafc comes on. I cycled it one more time and went to look for fuel leaks. No problems, a solid 38psi on the guage. I hit the button. It turned 5 times and then lit up!!! I had to run around front and hold the TB open a little bit, otherwise it wouldn't idle (Toda B's kick ***!)
Here's the specs on the motor:
94 B18C1
Block
-complete balance, blueprint (King Motorsports)
-JDM ITR pistons (.25 over)
-Mugen oil pan
-New seals, bearings
-Polished crank
Head
-Chadzilla port job (King Motorsports)
-Stock head gasket
-Milled .013"
-3 angle valve job
-ITR valves
-Portflow retainers
-Toda valve springs
-Toda B's
-Toda Cam gears
-Toda timing blet
-Skunk manifold (port matched)
-Bored ITR throttle body
-250cc Honda injectors
Misc
-JDM DC header
-3" AEM
Some pics. I'm going to post a video with sound pretty soon

Post some timeslips(or predicted timeslips), I have a very similar set-up. Looks great though.
BTW: that bottom end rips, I love the compression, gets you to the powerband alot quicker
