You could wire the motor for ODB1 and run that computer. It will be easier to put in the hatch.

Direct bolt in, nothing special needed. If you want to use the OBD2 ECU you will need an OBD1 - OBD2/OBD2B (depends on year of ECU) ECU adapter and a little more wiring will be needed. It's best to use a chipped P28 or P30 OBD1 ECU which is direct plug and play. Depending on the model you have you might need to rewire the O2 sensor or some similarly small wiring mods, but overall it's a really easy swap no matter which route you take.

You could always wire it up with a 1996-1998 JDM P73 ECU. This ECU is basically an OBDI ECU with OBDII plugs. You would still need to change plugs or get an adaptor. But you would not have to worry about adding OBDII sensors under the hood. And you wouldnot need to spend an arm and a leg to buy another ECU and configure it to properly run your motor.

If you want to use a JDM ITR ecu, you just need an adapter.

Make sure you have the VTEC wiring ran from the engine to the stock ecu plugs.
