Kia G1.0 T-GDi specs: 1.0L (61.02 ci) 3-cylinder, 71 x 84 mm (2.7953 x 3.3071 in) bore and stroke, 10:1 compression. Rated 100-120 hp. DOHC.
The Kia G1.0 T-GDi 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).
10:1 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 13 engines in the Smartstream family, the smallest at 61.02 ci. 2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 100 to 120 hp. Factory fitments include the Kia Picanto, Kia Rio, Kia Stonic and 1 other.
