If your wiring harness isn't the same OBD designation as the ECU, you'll need a jumper harness.

checkout pgmfi.org for free and very capable engine management setups for OBD0. The R ECU is for a 1.8 not a 1.6 and the OBD's don't match which will require a jumper harness. Also,most of those cookie cutter "chips" suck. they dump a load of timing and fuel at your engine without regard for ambient factors of where you live, bolt on's you have or may add,mileage and general state of your engine, yadda yadda. Stay way. It will work but with the displacement difference and the way those chips generally run it will most likely make you run pig rich and lose power...for the low low price of a few hundred dollars for the ECU and jumper.
