im pretty sure all the 92's were wired for vtec, so it should be plug and play. check the oil level, make sure the car is warm or vtec will not engage, and make sure the vss is working.

what wire harness are you using GSR one, or a stock one if it fits (I'm always confused about that). if you are using the stock one you will have to wire it up either to shock tower (since your car is a 92) or straight to the ECU.

Are you using the gsr ecu? the 92 dx isn't VTEC, so i think you should try to get a gsr harness and ecu, or at least a VTEC harness and a compatable ecu, you can get a p72 on ebay for about $150-200 .... if i am wrong someone say something, dont want you to waste your cash.
