It will start and throw a bunch of error codes, and run on limp mode. But it will run.

it shouldn't throw any codes at all as long as everything is hooked up right.

Dude, make sure you know what you are talking about before making broad unaccurate statements like that.
What codes, why??
The Pr4 ECU will run the B16, LS/VTEC absolutely fine. No VTEC of course.
No CEL's as long as the wiring is already set for MPFI.
