Audi DAZA specs: 2.5L (151 ci) 5-cylinder, 82.5 x 92.8 mm (3.2480 x 3.6535 in) bore and stroke, 10:1 compression. Rated 400 hp. Rod ratio and piston speed.
The Audi DAZA is undersquare — the 3.6535" stroke exceeds the 3.248" bore by 11.1% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.6535" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,550 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 5 cylinders displaces 30.2 ci (495 cc).
10:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 3 engines in the EA855 evo family, the smallest at 151 ci. Factory fitments include the RS3 8V, TT RS 8S, RS Q3 and 2 others.
