Default Priming oil pump

Today I put oil in my Del sol, filled it up till it read right up to the 2nd dot on the dipstick. Disconnected my injectors and my turbo drain line (that way i could see when it had oil through the turbo)
Cranked it over for about 7 seconds 4 times.
And still no oil came out my drain line.
I unhooked my oil feed line (from my turbo) and cranked it over 1 more time (this time for about 5 seconds), and still nothing came out.

I didnt wanna continue after this lol.

Before all this I put a little bit of oil in each cylinder so hopefully it wouldnt wear them down as much while it got lubbed up.


Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Do i continue cranking over for longer time?
thanks.
