Just wire the vtec from the engine to the correct pins on the shocktower mount harness clip ('92 Civics are prewired from that clip to the ECU, but not on the engine side), and convert to a 4-wire O2 sensor (from the 1-wire). But the CX transmission sucks. It helps with fuel economy, but is horrible for acceleration.
