Honda D15Z1 specs: 1.5L (91.5 ci) 4-cylinder, 75 x 84.5 mm (2.9528 x 3.3268 in) bore and stroke, 9.3:1 compression. Rated 92 hp, 1992–1995.
The Honda D15Z1 is undersquare — the 3.3268" stroke exceeds the 2.9528" bore by 11.2% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.3268" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,200 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 22.9 ci (375 cc).
9.3:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 29 engines in the D-series family, sitting between the 82 ci and 101.8 ci members. 4 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 92 hp across 1992–1995.
