Sure.. It all depends on what your doing with the car, your preference. No you can't just swap the ECU. From what i'm gathering here. You have a 90-92 Integra which are OBD0 and OBD1, your car is OBD2A. You'll need a jumper harness. You will also need 99-00 Civic SI reat T-bracket and driver side engine mount brcket. Your harness will need some extending and you will need to swap injector pugs from the Integra harness to yours. The transmission will also need a aftermarket mount on top as its a cable trans and you will need to do a cable to hydro conversion. You'll also need a OBD2A LS distributor.

What is your budget for the swap, it actually is not very expensive

Take everything out of the integra you need for the swap then part out the shell or sell it whole and there is your extra cash for the swap components you will need.

Is it a cable tranny or hydro

Rear t bracket - $65 new from majestic honda
Mounts needed - $100 or so from user on h-t
Jumper harness - $100 or so
