Do i need the computer out of the 1.6? Or just the ecu? I know nothing about engines so i'm not sure! The guy who put it in for me never did a swap with VTEC!

the computer is also known as the ecu. You will need the P28 ecu from the 92-95 civic ex or si. If you have a manual tranny you will need the manual ecu. DAMN NOOBS!!!
