GT sounds better. No idea if it would fit in a perfect swap. Also, I guess you should replace your ECU. :\

is that the ECM?

Yap.. I believe ECU and ECM are the same, and I believe you have to replace it if you want to swap to a 1.3L engine. Other idea is just to replace the old 1.0L engine with another 1.0. ECMs could be the same, but you have to check it out. Also you can ask any yunkyard for an used ECU for the new model. Sometimes it is as unexpensive as $50 or lower.

Hope this helps,
