yeah it is possible , pretty simple to do if your not scared of your ecu wiring, but kind of pointless unless you have the proper mods to make adjusting the air and fuel curve worth the install and everyone else here will just tell you get your ecu chipped and tuned....

thank you for replying me.in the beginning i wanted to get a chipped ecu but the problem is that my engine does not use o2 sensor as most obd1 ecu looks for o2 signal.and also since my car is a obd2,i think i might have a lot difficulties to use a obd1 ecu.If you have any other solutions for me,other than using the apexi,it is with much pleasure to hear your ideas.thanks.

This is your ultimate option of a piggy back. This will offer more options for you.

The AEM is nice,the features also is good,but is it safe to make the tuning without a dyno?as in my country we do not have dyno available.

You don't need a dyno to do the tuning. You will need a wideband o2 sensor and gauge so that you can check your AFR's as you change your fuel curves. You can use the VAFC/2 without a problem on a non-vtec engine, you will just have leftover wire(s?).

What are you going to be doing to the car? I like the SiR look on your RHD, but that wire grounding kit looks out of place.
