There is little point in swapping engines as the 1.8 can produce very similar power to the 2.0lt cheapily. Only if you get above 200 bhp is the swap worth it.

You need the sump, inlet, water pump and (not essential) flywheel from your 1.8. Swap it all over then compare the wiring diagrams of the 2 ECU to see if you need to move pins about. If the 2.0 ECU has PATS you will need to find one the hasn't got PATs.

You'll probably find you can't just plug the 2.0 ECU in.
All depends on whether the PATS and EDIS are external or not.
Obviously anything is possibly, where there is a will there is a way but just dont expect to plug it in and fire it up.
