No because you will fail your MOT's emission test, assuming the engines in its original age car.

For a xe, you'll also need a adjustable fuel pressure regulator to get the pressure down to a carb level.

Be prepared for the fuel bill to shoot up too, as you get addicted to the noise and cant help but floor it

You would also need some form of aftermarket ecu to control the ignition.

And an inlet for the carbs, which as far as i know aren't produced for a z14xep engine.

A tb has an injector which is ecu controlled.

A carb is entirely mechanical, as is a stand alone fuel system, it wont give as much power or the driveability of a throttle bodied engine tho.
