Yes you can. You will need to run an extra wire from the ECU to the Mass Air Sensor though. Not sure if the turbo cars had a different connector or not. If you're upgrading to a MAF translator or 2G MAS this will need to be changed anyway.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

The nt maf has a 6 pin plug, where the turbo maf has 8 pin positions (7 are used). You will also need to run a wire for the knock sensor and wire in fuel injector resistor box.

Oh yeah. I forgot about the knock sensor. Pretty sure both turbo and non-turbo already had the resistors though.

Non turbos have high impedance injectors, they don't require(or have) a resistor pack.
