I know it sounds weird, but before yesterday, i hadent heard of the starting fluid, my dad brought it up. So, after i type this post, im going to get a can of starting fluid, a bottle of water remover, and 2 gallons of high octane and try this again. I think if it actuall does start ill pass out.

Well, it might be. But I think it is very low odds. I have several cases of starting a car that stayed for a year or so without any problem, and I don't think two months are enough to make gas completely useless.
Did you check your cam and crank syncronisation?

my honda sat from november to april this past year without it ever starting up once. the battery went dead, so i had to get a new one and then when i started it, it went right up.

check simple things first, is it the right firin order. when i swapped my engine, i had the firing order right, but one postion off, common mistake, when your tired. its 1 3 4 2, and 1 is ath the bottom of the dizzy and go clockwise from there. that held me up for 2 days until i started messing with it.

Ok, im about to throw in the towel. Ive tried everything people-the timing is right, the firing order is right, put new gas in and even used enough ether starter fluid i should have blown myself up, new plugs, cleaned rotor and contact points in cap. Im at a total loss, and im just getting more pissed off each day. I spend two months building the damn thing, and it wont even start for me.

do you have fuel pressure? There's a bleader on the fuel rail (tire vavle stem type) at which you can attach a fuel gauge and check. Do you have spark? Take a spare spark plug, plug a wire into it and hold the plug on grounding point. If you get spark and fuel than it has to be timing, but I kinda think that you might not have one of those.

Ok, i am throwing in the towel. It goes to a shop next week. I did everything in my power, and got nothing. Checked all the injectors, all the wires. Its getting total gas and spark. I just dont know, it wants to start so bad, just somthings not there. Side note, does anyone know what the compression readings should be for vitara pistons in a JDM D15B? I ran a test and got 90 across. Im glad they are the same, but just dont know if thats right, or low. Anyways, thats where i stand, it sucks, but i dont know what else to do.
