Don't know why not as long as it's not a Mivec.

ACD has it's own ECU, but I'm not sure why you'd want to switch to a 11 rom. Alot of people with a 96940011 rom are switching to the EDM 96353006 rom for more room for tephra mods and other patches. I'm looking into this aswell.

It should work, however you need the immobilizer code, or you could disable the immobilizer...The only reason for upgrading to the EDM rom is to have room for all of Tephras cool little ECU hacks, if you aren't concerned with this then it will be fine.
