Hyundai G3LA specs: 1.0L (61 ci) 3-cylinder, 71 x 84 mm (2.7953 x 3.3071 in) bore and stroke, 10.5:1 compression. Rated 69 hp. Rod ratio and piston speed.
The Hyundai G3LA is undersquare — the 3.3071" stroke exceeds the 2.7953" bore by 15.5% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.3071" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,250 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 3 cylinders displaces 20.3 ci (333 cc).
10.5:1 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 4 engines in the Kappa family, the smallest at 61 ci. Factory fitments include the Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto.
