Protege came with 1.8 SOHC/DOHC

323 came with 1.6 SOHC/1.6 DOHC (GTX)/1.8 DOHC (GTR)

hope that helps some. :)

I think celi85 was referring to ALL 323s, not just the ones available in North America. Overseas got the BG 323 GT-X and GT-R, both with 1.8 DOHC Turbo engines.

Is it true that the 94-97 miata engine is the same as 94 pro?

The miata 1.8 uses the same BP block, but I think that is about it. Head, manifolds, distributor are all different since the engine is mounted front to back in the miata, whereas the pro's is sideways.
