I am not sure what you're asking. Your car isn't turbocharged, so it is
already "normally aspirated". Are you saying you want to remove all
of the fuel injection and put a carburetor in its place? If not, what is
it that you really want to do? A gasoline powered engine needs air +
fuel + spark to run. The air & fuel is supplied by the fuel injection
system, and the spark is from the ignition system. In your model with
the CIS-EIII, all three are intimately related and electronically
controlled...

Randomly replacing parts isn't a good way to fix problems. You should
systematically debug things (the Bentley manual should be your guide here),
but first you should have a good understanding of how the system works
and what everything does.
