Default engine question

i aquired a 92 civic with a blown motor (nice hole right in the block) innstead of trying to repair it i found a 95 v-tec to put in it in stead. my question is, if i swich out the motors will i have to get a new computer to control the v-tec, or can i keep the computer that was in the car originally

if you have a 1992 civic its pre-wired for vtec . the wires are at the passenger side shock tower. orange/blue and orange/white. in the top gray plug.
