Nope, the ECU's are of diffrent OBD systems. As in the computers are not compatable. Although there still is an option

You can sawp on a larger VAF from a older RX-7 if you do some reserach on your own you can see which on is the direct swap.

if you're grabbing a VAF and injectors get the throttle body from the car too. It's a bit bigger and a direct bolt on.
