What engine internal parts are interchangable in the Protegé?
Any 1.6l Miata engine bottom end parts will work with the 1.6l engine in the 323. Any 1.8l Miata engine bottom end parts will work with the Protegé. Any 1.8l Miata (94-97 only) engine top end parts will work with the BP Protegé’s. Any bottom end parts for the 1st generation Protegé are interchangable. MazdaSpeed 11.0:1 pistons for the BP-ZE are available (part #: QEP5-11-100) 2nd generations: There are no interchangable parts for the Z5-DE engine. Any 1.8l Miata engine bottom end parts will work with the BP engined Protegé’s. Any 1.8l Miata (94-97 only) engine top end parts will work with the BP Protegé’s. Any bottom end parts for the 1st generation Protegé are interchangable with the BP engined Protegé’s. 3rd generation: Any ZL (1.5l) botom end parts will work with the 1.6l (ZM-DE) engine. The ZL-VE head (which has S-VT) is a direct swap to the ZM-DE engine. You will need to figure out a way to control the hydraulic controller that varies the intake cam timing. This system is similar
