no. Geo is made by General Motors and mazda is Japanese. The engine code for mx5 is BPT (mazdaspeed), or BP I4 (LS, SE)

Hope this helps

Re: miata engine the same as a geo storms?

I recently got a slightly damaged Miata, but my specialty has been the Geo Metro, which is actually a Suzuki Swift and imported under the Geo name. The last post did not seem quite accurate so I did a brief researh. A quick correction (from Wikopedia)... Geo models were manufactured by GM in joint-ventures with Japanese import manufacturers. The Prizm was produced at the GM/Toyota joint-venture NUMMI assembly plant in Fremont, California, and the Metro and Tracker were produced at the GM/Suzuki joint-venture CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario. The exceptions, the Spectrum and Storm, were entirely manufactured by Isuzu in Japan. Maybe that is useful infirmation.
