The Mazda PE-VPS is undersquare — the 3.5906" stroke exceeds the 3.2874" bore by 8.4% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.5906" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,700 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
