The answer is simple. Use a B16A ECU. A 1992-1995 JDM P30, 1992-1993 JDM PR3, or 1994-1995 USDM P30 will work fine.

Those will work fine but those are all obd1 ecu's correct? I'm saying if I weren't to use the jumper harness and kept it obd2 what should I do?

Ok i should have been more clear about this. Its a b16a2 OBDII engine NOT obd1.. the obd1's are b 16a3. Ok so lets say I DO NOT want to use the jumper to convert to obdI.. I know.. obd2 sucks but I'm asking this becuase I want to know what to use when taking it in for emissions inspection.. obviously an obd1 ecu in an obdII car will not allow me to pass correct?

Re: whats the best ecu to use for a stock b16a2? (Junek9)

Correct. OBD2 cars get a function check of the ECU during a smog test-the smog machine hooks to the DLC (data link connector). If the ECU is OBD1, it won't pass.
