to make the swap easier, yeah u can reuse your old stuff (axles,etc...), you'll have to wire up the VTEC oil, VTEC oil ground, and VTEC switch, make sure u get the ecu (I think u can use a V-AFC instead). Since the CX tranny has longer gears, it'd be better for turbo. If u wanna go all-motor use a EX/Si. If uR broke, use what u got, lol.

I'm pretty sure that all 92 (only 92) models came w/ the same harness, so your cx should have a vtec wire on the harness....

if you can get it...just use the EX harness off of the motor, and it will plug right in w/out any wiring problems.
