Default KA-t wont start, has fuel spark and good timing. fml

Ok so heres the story. Bought the car from a guy in p town He put the turbo kit on and the car was his project, just needed a few things to be good to go. turns out the num 4 sr injector had no o ring on it so it poured fuel into the cyl ran for 12 seconds and then bent a rod all to hell. Pulled the motor apart and rebuilt it. took my time made sure that it was all right, Timing marks line up so i know they are good as well as the distributor.
replaced the o ring on the injector. I have good fuel pressure, im getting signal to the injectors, the injectors all read the same on the ohm meter. I have spark, fresh NGK plugs and brand new(tonight) plug wires. It wont start.
last night while i was finishing it up the first crank it caught for what sounded like 1 cylnder. then nothing. it cranks and cranks and cranks but wont catch.

tonight it did the exact same thing. heard it fire once and now back to nothing.

I cannot understand what is going on for the life of me. any Ideas?

If your sure u have compression...then I dont have any ideas. Only things needed to run are spark,fuel,compression, and timing. I would just re-check everythin. Sorry I cant be of more help.

Urite... KA's and SR's only need the three basics and they'll run...

You may have blown somethin electrical... Check fuses, relays.. You know the drill...

Is there any back firing or anything? Also clean all the ground connections really good with sandpaper, nissans are finicky like that. Fuel lines hooked up properly, feed to the railand return to fpr?
