Recheck your grounding points, if you used the stock n/a harness to mate to the s5 TII engine, you probably didn't have to modify it much except extend a few wires and I think re-pin a few wires at the ecu connection.

Besides that, I see no reason if you didn't extremely modify the harness why the engine shouldn't run, unless you are using the J-Spec ECU which won't work unless you do some research. I think the conclusion was you are better off using a USDM S5 TII ECU.

If you search for TII swap or something similar a lot of the guys talk about what's involved in the n/a harness modification for this particular swap and how the JDM ecu won't work without some research.
