I will go ahead and kick off the asking of newbish questions in here then...
I have another engine waiting to go in but before I make a start I basically just need to know whether all mk1 1.8 ECUs/engines are likely to be exactly the same and as such interchangeable? The engine came from an import mk1 1.8 as far as I know...straight swap, just plug it in and everything will be wonderful, correct?
This will be the first time (possibly last) attempt at swapping an engine so I just wanted to make absolutely certain before I start ordering clutches and touching ancillaries with my greasy sausage touching fingers.

I swapped a 1.8, into a 1.6..
My 1.8 was a UK one and i was using my friends import 1.8 to help with reference and noticed there were some connectors that seemed different. However, nothing seemed massively different. I mean if a UK 1.8 engine will run from a Jap 1.6 ECU and wiring, you'll have no problem mating 1.8 to 1.8..
Take plenty of photos too!

That sounds encouraging. Shall see how I get on once the new one is built up in that case. Many thanks.
