1990-1994 Protege's LX motor was the:
1.8l DOHC 16-valve MPFI:
125Hp
114lb-fts torque
curb weight:2359lbs
1995-1998 Protege's ES motor was the:
1.8l DOHC 16-valve MPFI:
122hp
117lb-fts torque
curb weight:2530lbs
But i think that the first generation protege's are still the quickest Protege's made. IMO

Which 1.8? The 99-2000 ES's had the FS version of the 1.8 liter is called the "FP-DE". It is basically a destroked version of the 2.0 found in proteges today. 85mm vs 92 in 01-present cars.
Power: 122 @ 6000rpm
Torque: 120 @ 4000rpm

Here it is.
Mazda 1.8 DOHC
125HP
108ft/lb torque (i think the intake tube and box are slightly different from the mazda engine. There might also be some minor differences in the ECU)
Everything is the basically the same except for the valve cover which would say Mazda instead of Kia.

From the motor i have seen in person the 2.0 valve cover looks alot wider than the 1.8, i am very sceptical that it would fit. Plus the fact that the 2.0 now has direct port ignition just makes the likelyhood that much less.
Anyway i have abandoned this project, i have bought a motor for my Probe I a going to build up instead.

Yeah i knew about the ignition differences, but i didn't notice the oil cap, that is cool, you have lifted my spirits. (thumb)
