Stillen Supercharger kit install HELP!

I just got done a 22hr install of the stillen supercharger kit and now it will not start. The fuel system has pressure and the engine spin when trying to start, but it will not crank. If anyone has any ideas or this has happened to them could you help. Thanks.

Kinda conflicting yourself there. Crank = Spin. You mean it doesnt ignite?

It doesn't even try to start. I tried to see if I could get good spark and I did, but when I tried to start the car with the plug out I couldn't smell gas being sprayed.

Weiboy is right... turn the car to the on position but don't try to crank the motor. Listen for the fuel pump. The Walbros are pretty loud. If you don't hear a buzzing noise then the pump isn't installed correctly.

I hear the pump come on for a second or so when I put the in ACC on. And when I try to start it I hear the same buzzing sound. Should it remain on in the Acc on mode?

you should hear it continuously on ACC mode i think. is it cutting out?

another thing is. did you flashed your ECU with a new tune yet?

I just watched the video. You can definitely hear the fuel pump priming. I didn't know that you could actually try to crank the car. Like Wei said, you installed the UpRev ECU flash?

So it should be running all the time? if so I will take it apart and look. with the ACC only without starting it cuts out after a few seconds and when starting it goes on for a few seconds while trying to start. I did do the ecu reflash before trying to start. also before i even start the install i ran the car with the new pump for 5mins after the pump was replaced and it seemed to run just fine.

I'm willing to bet if it's not the fuel pump installation, it's going to be the heat exchanger pump or when the MAF harness was extended.
yeah, i kinda recall i hear my pump stays on while when on ACC.

i am pretty sure he extended those MAF wires, the heat exchanger pump won't have any impact from starting the car. that pump is only to circulate the heat exchanger coolant around. let's wait till what the OP say's.
