Default P28 ecu on my car safe to try?

I'm bored college student and its nice and warm out now, and i want to play around with the accelrometer. my friend has a P28 ecu and that one will plug right into my harness. But the only thing i dont have is VTEC. I have 95 HB 5spd canadian model DX.

so will it work on my car and will it be safe to try?

you will have a constant CEL because the ECU will be looking for the VTP sensor and spool valve.

Yes. You wont feel an improvement though. The P28 is designed for a 1.6L with VTEC, not a 1.5L without.
