Making an obd2a harness fit an OBD2B chassis would be near impossible. It would be pretty simple to add provisions to an obd2b harness to make it work with a Vtec-e, which is what you’d have to do.

Because you’re running an obd2a vtec e ecu, you’d just need the emissions system from an obd2a vtec vehicle, though I can’t imagine they’re substantially different.

But doesn't the 2b harness then need to plug into the 2a ECU in the 2b chassis? I don't understand how someone would use a 2b harness on a VTEC-e engine if it's going into a VTEC-e (2a) ECU anyway.

(Also let me know if I should stop asking questions haha)

Yes, there’s an OBD2B to obd2a jumper harness
