dx to b16
I have a b16a engine. Whats the best route to go as far as using different harnesses. Should I:
a) Use stock dx harness and "cut" jdm harness and send it off to Hasport for the conversion
-OR-
b) use 90-91 si engine harness
If using the si engine harness is the case, how do I go about using it? Is it plug and play, just add four wires and 2 injector wires? or is there more to it?

The Si injector harness is NOT plug and play. You'd need the entire wiring harness for the whole car, all the underhood wiring all the way back to the hatch. Evidently the connectors are a different style so the underhood portion of the harness isn't interchangeable. If you're not doing it yourself, send it off to HASport and they'll take care of ya!

Re: dx to b16 (avscrx)
It is not as hard as people seem to make it out to be. Just use your stock DX harness and change from DPFI to MPFI which is only adding 4 wires and switching 2 pins for the TPS. Then you need to wire up the VTEC solenoid, VTEC pressure switch and Knock sensor so that wold be 5 more wires that need added making only 9 wires to add total.
