Default 93 Hatch B18C1 w/ turbo wont start

well guys a couple of weeks ago my friend purchased a 93 hatch with a stock GSR motor with a greddy bolt on turbo kit.

a couple of days ago he informed me that his car wouldnt start. i checked it out.

no blown fuses, checked the battery havent checked for spark yet.

what happens is that when you turn the key to the ignition position, nothing happens. no clicks, no starter grinding, no nothing.

called a friend he said the starter could be dead but if that were the case it would just grind right?

anyone have some insight on this?

Do any motor work to it? Did he decide that after buying the car he was gonna be Mr Fix it and go do something? I had this same problem in my hatch when we did the headgasket. Turns out one of the plugs.....yeah, it kinda didnt have the other half of the plug plugged into it. Check little things like that. You didnt do the work so you dont know what kinda job was done.

This is of course only if the main relay doesnt fix the problem.
