Mazda E5 specs: 1.496L (91.3 ci) 4-cylinder, 74.5 x 85.8 mm (2.9331 x 3.3780 in) bore and stroke, 9:1 compression. Rated 68 hp, 1984–1986.
The Mazda Skyactiv-G (E5) is undersquare — the 3.378" stroke exceeds the 2.9331" bore by 13.2% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.378" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,100 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 22.8 ci (374 cc).
9:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 19 engines in the Skyactiv-G family, the smallest at 91.3 ci. 4 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 68 hp across 1984–1986.
