Advice Needed for Engine Swap

Hi Guys,

I'm planning on swapping my 1.6L engine for a 1.8L. My question is will my stock ECU run the new motor or do I need a new ECU or do I go for a piggy back option.
I need to do this as cheaply as possible. Your thoughts and advice appreciated. Don't forget to drop some ecu brands.

Cheers - John

Google is a good friend.
Lots of discussion about how to.

Can just use your 1.6 ecu.

Here is a quick summary.
