Also check the vtec solenoid when you get the motor. Alot of times these jdm motors need the solenoid cleaned. I also checked my head for oil buildup and cleanliness. They have a problem with gunk building up in them.

Re: d15b jdm vtec (wickitcivic)
definitely do alot more reading...
but yes, the proper way would be to run obd1 (as the motor is obd1).... p28 ecu will work fine. you can use your 89si injectors, as long as you have an obd0-obd1 conversion harness.
