Chrysler EGA specs: 201 ci (3.3L) 6-cylinder, 3.661 x 3.189 in (93 x 81 mm) bore and stroke, 8.9:1 compression. Rated 153-161 hp, 1993–1997.
The Chrysler 201ci (EGA) is oversquare — the 3.6614" bore exceeds the 3.189" stroke by 14.8% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.189" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,550 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 33.5 ci (549 cc).
8.9:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 153 to 161 hp across 1993–1997.
