No Start...MAP Sensor? Injectors? Datalogit?

So i'm getting real close to Starting my fresh gt35r FC I have fuel pressure, strong cranking, and spark but no starting. could it be that the new MAP sensor is not reading manifold pressure at all so fuel isnt even being injected? Does it need to be calibrated on a datalogit etc. in order to do so? Its a GM 3bar. Another thought i had is maybe after wiring in the new much bigger EV1 style injectors and the car sitting for awhile could it be possible that the ECU set the injectors and other things to 0 or some preset that would need to be tuned on the Datalogit?

I dont own a Datalogit so is it time for me to send the car to my tuner and have him go through the datalogit and set a base/break-in map?

Is this kind off a basic thing for new builds to have to be hooked to a datalogit in order for all the new sensors to be calibrated and see whats going on to start?

Thanks for your input this is my first build of this caliber so tuning is all new to me. Its alot different than 12a builds haha

take your spark plugs out to see if their wet from fuel, it may be injecting too much fuel and flooding out

Datalogit is required for setting up the scale and offset of the 3 bar map sensor.

Look on your commander (if you have one), your boost reading will be way off.

yes i have a commander and yes the boost is way off but would that wack boost reading cause the ecu to not open the injectors my commander says 0.0% inj duty, in my mind that theory makes sense.

At any rate il be taking it to the tuner within a couple weeks to be calibrated

Thanks
