Still, the MS miatas are bad themselves....no point in taking the motors out of them.

I don't understand the point of swapping for equal or less power. All that work for the same or worse power to weight.

And isn't the MS 180hp?

Seriously, if your considering to go with a 4 cylinder.

20 valve 4age N/A, or an (stock 210-215) sr20ve-yes VE, there is a mechanical vtec version of the sr20de motor. Those are 2 good very affordable N/A motors.

You want reliableish turbo power, sr20det.

Those will be worth the hassle and your time.

And once the renesis get cheaper, that will be a slamin swap for an all motor FC, and it can be legalized because it is a newer motor of the same type. State ref will pass you.
My 2 cents.
