So
-Sell b16a2/d16y7 harness
-Buy d16y8 harness, obd2b-2a conversion.
-Run SI ecu.

"-No, i do not want to buy a obd2b to obd1 conversion harness and a obd1 ecu and chip it to b16 specs, i want to run the B16a2 ecu it came with."

Its not being hard headed, it's trying to work with what you have.

If what i typed above works then ill just end up doing this. Def much cleaner, less time, no bs, still in the budget, and the car will be on the road.
