Modify your stock DX harness.
You can use the D16z6 harness for it's wiring.. injector run and distributor plug, O2 plug etc.. You steal the plugs from it and use them on your DX->MPFI harness.
When you cut out the injector run remember not to cut anything but the yellow,brown,red and blue wires. The red/black wires go to the injector block off plug and should be kept intact and just removed from their loom. No cuttin necessary. Give yourself a foot of extra length on those colored injector wires so you don't have any issues with the length of the injector run.

To get you started, do this:

This is the first step. Think about the other sensors you need to run while you've got your harness stripped down.

- leave the loom on just open it when you need to take wires out or put them in
- never cut a wire that you can de-pin.
- Learn to de-pin

And if you've got the money to spend, have this all done for you by us at Rywire.
