Chrysler Chrysler 2.2 Turbo I specs: 135 ci (2.2L) 4-cylinder, 3.44 x 3.62 in (87.4 x 91.9 mm) bore and stroke, 8.1:1 compression. Built 1984.

The Chrysler Chrysler 2.2 Turbo I is close to square: 3.44" bore against 3.62" stroke, within 5.0%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.62" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,650 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. A rod ratio of 1.646 is in the range most production engines fall in. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 33.8 ci (553 cc).

8.1:1 on iron heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.

It is one of 11 engines in the Chrysler 135ci family, all of them 135 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement.
