Use the P28 reprogrammed. The TypeR computer is OBD-II so you can't use that unless you convert the wiring harness.

 

ditto

 

Here's what I did in my 1992 CX hatch:

I used the B18C5's engine harness including its injectors, and I also kept the newer, lower mileage ITR distributor.

How did I do this?

Because the ITR engine harness, although "OBD2" actually PLUGS RIGHT IN to the 1992-1995 Civic's underhood plugs on each strut tower area.

Since my car is a 1992 it is already pre-wired for VTEC, so guess what I did?

I used a re-chipped P28 and it plugged right in as well, so my swap had literally not one single wire to add or move!

There were a few of the "extra" plugs left over from the ITR harness like the ABS crap and some other stuff, but tuck them away and you're done.

He reprograms the P28 ECU to run your ITR motor so much better than any stock P73 will. I know this from personal experience. I have a 1992 CX with ITR swap and his ECU blows the stock P73 JDM ECU I used to run with a conversion harness.
