So long story short I blew my 2015 frs motor from a hole burned into my wastegate line and I found a long block at lkq in a 2013 frs. Brought it home and swapped everything over from the 2015 motor (direct injectors, all sensors except knock sensors, <4k mile HKS SPARK plugs, coils, mechanical fuel pump, flywheel, + some other stuff I’m probably forgetting). I’ve double checked the whole wiring harness, tried a new battery and had it jumped by a truck trying to start it with no success so far. I checked for spark on cylinder 1, there was. I tried spraying starting fluid into the pcv port on the intake manifold and it doesn’t seem to make a difference, so I don’t think it’s a fueling problem either. I’ve tried both crank positions sensors and made sure I didn’t forget the timing plate behind the flywheel to see if ignition timing was off. Haven’t been able to do a compression test because I’m not sure a regular kit will work in the tight space. I’m out of ideas at this point, so I thought I’d ask here before giving up on the motor. I also have a video of what it sounds like cranking here

Not currently with the car but should be able to work on it again this weekend. just wanted to get some ideas on what I could check before I get back.
