Default changing from 1.8 to 2 litre zetec

Ive got a 1.8 130 spec zetec in my car at the moment. I'm going to replace it with a 2litre next weekend.
Obviously i will be using the 1.8 inlet, but do i/can i fit the 2 litre injectors into the 1.8 fuel rail?
or should i just leave the 1.8 inlet setup, bolt it all in and have fun.
Im going to check if the throttle bodies are the same size as well, obviously if the 2 litre is bigger, look at fitting that.
ive already got the 2 litre maf on there.

Will it run ok on the 130 spec ecu until i can afford to get a 2 litre one?

It probably wont be a million miles out if you run all the 130PS stuff (ecu, maf, injectors).. Basically it should be a little bit lean down at lower speeds but towards the rev limiter it should work out much the same (as both engines flow a similar amount at 6000rpm)..
