I've been studying your thread and I'm having a hard time figuring out what you did for wiring.
At first it sounded like you were going to use a 00+ ECU female plug and a B14 Male Harness plug and make an adapter.
Then you showed some pictures of a wire "flower" which led me to believe you were just splicing and soldiering everything on the harness just before it enters the firewall.
Then you posted the above quote that makes it sound like you used your B15 harness, unplugged all the pins from the male housing and then re-pinned it into the b14 male harness housing.
So maybe you could run this by me one more time.
I'm really curious as to how you did this.
This is a hurdle I need to over come here very soon.

I cut the harness where it went into the firewall so I could pull the whole harness off with the original engine. That's not necessary but I wanted to see the B15 harness on the engine outside of the car so I could better plan how to mate it to the VE. I did make a B15 to B14 adapter but found it too fragile. I ended up getting a B14 plug for the B15 harness and just pulling the pins out of the B15 plug and moving them to the B14 plug. There are two different size pins and the sizes only match up on about half the total pins. For that I horked the matching pins from the left over B14 plug and soldered them into the B15 harness. This way everyting fit into the plug and the box for the ECU. Since the ECU is in the firewall I needed to keep it clean.
