3rd generations:
For the first time, the Proteg got engines from the larger 626 car
later on...
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 to the one used in the 2001+ Miata BP-VE engines, so talk to the Miata guys about it the S-VT on their cars to learn more.
Any ZL-DE top end parts will work with the ZM-DE engine.
European spec ZM-DE 9.4:1 pistons are also available:
ZMY1-11-SA0A normal size
ZMY1-11-SB0A .025 oversize
ZMY1-11-SBXA .050 oversize
Any FP and FS engine parts are interchangable.
As for FS-DE 9.7:1 pistons:
FPY1-11-SA0E normal size
FPY1-11-SB0E .025 oversize
FPY1-11-SBXE .050 oversize
As for FS-ZE 10.4:1 (9.7:1 when used with FP-DE) pistons:
FPY2-11-SA0B normal size
FPY2-11-SB0B .025 oversize
FPY2-11-SBXB .050 oversize
As for FS-ZE 10.7:1 pistons from the MazdaSpeed Familia:
FSY4-11-SA0 normal size
FSY4-11-SB0 .025 oversize
FSY4-11-SBX .050 oversize

Topline stuff is very good. We sold that brand when i worked at a machine shop. Althought we marked it up 40%, lol, that kit right there is about a 125$ kit for the seller. Topline used to only be imports. Now they have a branch called ProTopline that deals with V8 chevy stuff. IE Aluminum heads, etc.
Hey, if we all trusted Mazda parts we wouldn't be searching for aftermarket mods!! 
Remember, OEM means that it will perform just up to the limit it was designed for. When you upgrade anything, OEM becomes the weakest link. I am not an expert on cars like Perf, but from a mechanical engineering perspective, OEM is the cheapest way a manufacturer can make something that will fit the requirements...

I could try and get with the warehouse owner down here in Atlanta. There is only one topline distributer here. I was in pretty good with him since i was also the guy that went to pick up the gaskets when i worked for the shop. I know where the warehouse is and i know the guys name is robert. I will search for a phone number, and i will need the part number again. Ill ask him to double check on the fitment.
Mikeblue, the kit number is EKMA17R for the re-ring kit, that's all I know. It is $209 at importperformanceparts.net and $289 at rpmrons.com
Hmmm, the TOGA bearings are $125 alone, so the $209 kit with upgraded bearings to $249 is not bad, huh? MIke, your supplier might not be able to get these bearings, will they?

Here's the latest from Phil:
"Gaskets are OEM if you have another gasket you want you can subtract $28 from the kit.If you don't want the rings there is a $26 deduction."
Well, we don't want rings because our JEs will have them. Are there any other high performance gaskets out there?

$217 after shipping, I have my kit with high performance main and rod bearings. There are soooo many parts in it, I cuoldn't believe it! It even came with a head gasket that I don't need because I am going copper.

Or, has the note said, "f*cking miraculous glue!"
