Default F22a1 to F22b1 VTEC Problem

My friend has a 1995 Accord LX and the engine was replaced with the SOHC VTEC instead of the non-VTEC but the VTEC was never hooked up so it is running like a non-VTEC.My question is what parts would I need to hook up the VTEC?Also do I need to change the ecu or is the one in it fine?I probably need to add pins to the harness for the VTEC wires but the only Honda swap I have ever done was a ZC into a 91 hatch so I really have no clue about this problem. Could someone please help me with some info?

hey man like him i just swapped a jdm f22b the sohc vtec motor into my car. i had a usdm 95 f22b2 non-vtec motor in it. Basically it got professionally put it and it runns terribly. LIke i have a check engine light on, the vtec wont work and it boggs out. I know the check engine light is prob code 22 but im tryin to figure out how to get rid of it. The people that installed my motor told me that the jdm f22 dosent have a vtec pressure switch so my check engine light would be on. I have a usdm ecu now. how would i get my car running good oh and does anyone have a jdm ecu for the f22b sohc vtec motor.
