Hi can I use engine from Mazda 6 1.8l in MX5 2007mod.

Our answer:

Hi Kjell,

The core engines are the same, but there are some differences, and the wiring may cause you problems. We'd recommend finding an alternative way of doing things unless you or your mechanic has done this kind of transplant in the past.
