You can use your own key, you need the chip, transponder and ECU all from the same donor car though.

You don't need them from the same engine. The ECU, transponder and key chip have to all be from the same car, but the engine does not have to be.

You will obviously need the ECU, key chip and transponder from a 1.8. Of course the 1.2 stuff won't work, it's designed for a totally different engine.
As long as you get an ECU, key chip and transponder from the same 1.8sri, it doesn't matter where you got your engine from.
The seller would have already sold it. It is quite popular to do this with these type of engines, sell the engine, then sell the ECU, chip and transponder seperately.
You may be lucky though

i'm not sure, but i think that you may be able to get some of the parts re-programmed
