Hey, im thinking of tuning my bike:

No.
The fork doesn’t work with rim brakes and it’s way too much travel for your frame.
Save your money and get a better used bike instead with hydraulic disc brakes and modern geometry.
That fork is in no way compatible with that bike. Tapered steerer forks wont work with that frame. You need a wheel with a hub that can take a through axle, you have a quick release skewer. The fork will only take disc brakes. Finally 150mm of travel is way too much for that bike.
I would go to the bike shop and see what upgrades are possible, or consider buying a higher end bike.
No, you can’t.
For so many reasons.
The main reason will be your brakes. You would need disc brakes for this form.
The frame you linked had a maximum compatible fork travel of 120mm. The fork you linked is 150mm
Your front wheel is 100×9 QR axle which will not be compatible with the 110×15 axle required for that fork.
Your wheels are 26 inch. The frame you linked is 29 and also required disc brakes.
The frame you linked will also likely have a wider BB so not be compatible with your cranks.
You may as well just buy a new bike, it will be cheaper.
Unfortunately, the short answer is no my friend. Your bike, while being a decent entry mtb has older standards that will not work for the newer parts you’re looking at.
The fork you linked would not work with your wheels, since the wheels you have are quick release, (commonly known as “QR”) and would not work with the fork, which uses a through axle.
Furthermore, both the fork and new frame only accept disc brakes.
What’s your budget, and what kind of trails do you ride? There are some other meaningful upgrades you could put on this bike, but honestly if you’re planning on doing any serious trail riding, I’d recommend saving up for a used bike with newer standards 🙂

There’s not much you can do for useful upgrades on that bike, save up for a new one
