Newbie question

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times..but I couldn't find it anywhere in this forum.
Anyway, I have an '88 Civic with a 1.5ltr in it (TBI) and I have a B16 to go in the car. Do I have to change the computer, wiring harness and/or anything else?

In the end...is the swap worth it?

Is there anything "tricky" about this swap I should otherwise know about?

Thank you for ALL your help!

Yes, yes, and yes.

Use the ECU from the b16, you'll have to wire vtec in, and match the harness.

The hybrid forum would be your best bet for any trickiness. And...oh yeah that search link.
