I posted this website in the earlier discussion of engine swaps:
http://members.aol.com/solomiata/MX5Engine.html
It gives the history of the 1.8L engine and from what it says i am assuming it is the same. My only ? would be on the mounting points, and wire hook up points, would those still be the same?

I was told that the Kia motor has a few more cubic inches. I personally hate the ugly valve cover and I would assume that the engine mounts change slightly. Maybe not. I know KIA 69 is on this forum. Maybe someone can send him a PM.

ugly valve cover? Maybe u haven't seen them both yet, but they are the EXACT same except for 1thing. The mazda one says 'MAZDA' and the kia one says 'KIA' in an oval ring.
(if u don't like the overall look... u can always polish it.... lemme know if u need info on that)
The mounts are the exact same for a 97 ES protege and a 97 Sephia 1.8 DOHC. A friend of mine replaced the engine in his sephia with a protege engine recently (his Kia engine had a lot of miles and he needed a newer one to put nitrous on) and it was a simple drop in swap.
Also, both have same displacement.... 1839 cc..... unless u r talking about a mazda engine other than the BP 05 version BP DOHC.
