stock 92 ECU. Use the 97 distributor...rewire if needed.
Use the 92 injectors. Use the 92 harness.
Use the 92 manifold and IAC and TB.
Use the 92 header.

Re: 99 dx motor into 92 civic SI
for a Y8 in a DX, you will need to run the VTEC wires all the way into the passenger compartment. So a Z6 engine harness is a waste of time. You'll need to make your own sub harness.
BTW, OP, I forgot to mention that you will have a CEL for VTEC since your P28 will be looking for it and the y7 does not have it.
For the guy who said something about using the OBD1 distributor: nah. You can rewire the OBD2 one. Some of the Y7 distributors plug right into the OBD1 plugs. The 96-00 used a few different distributor harnesses all ***** nilly.
