Will see if my mechanic friend can set that up. I doubt it though. I really dont want to have to replace the barrel though as then I'll have two keys for getting in and turning on the damn car.
I've done a fair bit of research over the past few days. Apparently the 4g15 dizzy just slaps right on. Same with the transmission.
Heres a quote from RPW00mirage who did a 1.5 to- 1.8 swap located on a different forum:
This may be a noob question but I need to learn. Is there any difference between the 4 and 5G 1.5/1.8 engines?!?! Mounting etc? I see this mentioned on another forum a LOT but not on this one? Is this an American thing maybe?? If you have any ideas let me know
Damn! Manual Oh hey maybe we can find out how it was done from this example!? Thoughts?

so i got the 1.5 transmission mated up to the 1.8 engine. using the 1.8 flywheel, and pressure plate (thanks gregg) with a minty fresh 1.5 disc i had. difference in OD seemed negligible... less than 1/4 inch. getting it into the car was tougher than usual as i was beat and i've apparently developed a hemorrhoid in the last week (let me tell you it f'ing SUCKS). glad i had a few extra hands
used the 1.8 starter i got from rem-rock, however the 1.5 starter is exactly the same despite different part numbers. hmmmmm?
i removed the CAS trigger wheel from the end of the camshaft, and then bolted the distributor in the CAS mounting location. its the same orientation as was the 1.5 . the keyway groove on the end of the 1.8 cam is the exact same shape and orientation as the 1.5 .
i was able to line up and bolt down the distributor to the 1.8 head no problem as-is on the 1.5, it is keyed one way.

BTW... Is your car an auto or manual? Reason I ask; I've got a complete wiring loom & ECU here to suit an auto 1.8lt swap & has had the immobiliser bypassed (not sure how, they guy I bought it from did it).
