20VE and 16VE have the following same identical parts (this doesn't include the 16VE N1) and this list is not exhaustive.
Block (crank, rods and pistons diferent)
Head (cams different)
Distributor
Injectors & Fuel Rail incl. FPR
Intake manifold (incl throttle, IACV/AAC, TPS is different, single plug 1.6, dual 2.0)
MAF
Temperature sensor
The SR20VE harness and brain would work no problem on the 16VE *** BUT***
You will need to use a set of DE injectors. The ecu would limit RPM to 7300 instead of the 8000 or so the 16VE ecu would give u (this means u will not realise the full potential of the engine). U might have to adjust Fuel Pressure slightly, most likely reduce to get a good A/F ratio. The 20VE harness would have some extra plugs for the tranny.
U can get an original 16VE ecu from the states for about $200 USD.
If it is cheaper u can use a DE harness as well, new model preferably, u will only have to lenghten the O2 sensor plug and run wires for the VVL solenoids.
As sr18 Primera said the DE ecu can also be used (with any matching harness, DE or VE), u will need to retard timing a little for our gas and use a smaller injector, SR18 injectors would do the trick and reduce fuel pressure to get the right A/F ratio. The old DE ecu's would give u a better redline but the newer ones would require less rewiring to use the complete 16VE and all its components. If using the old model DE ecu u must use the old model DE MAF, if using the new model ecu then u can use either the VE MAF or the new model DE MAF.
cdx2k1, standalone computers depending on their capability will run any engine, u could even make d lawnmower EFI.
