either reprogram your d16 ECU or go OBD I, i would just reprogram your d16

I would go ITR ecu if you can find one or your next choice to stay obd 2 would be a GSR ecu.

If you go obd1 you will have to get an obd1 converter. Then i would get a p30 ecu. del sol vtec.

use an obd2 to obd1 jumper, with a chipped p28 ecu or p30, or obd2a p30 from a 96-97 del sol vtec.
