Mazda T3-VPTS specs: 3.283L (200.3 ci) 6-cylinder, 86 x 94.2 mm (3.3858 x 3.7087 in) bore and stroke, 12:1 compression. Rated 280 hp. DOHC.
The Mazda T3-VPTS is undersquare — the 3.7087" stroke exceeds the 3.3858" bore by 8.7% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.7087" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,450 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 33.4 ci (547 cc).
12:1 on aluminum heads is high for a production gasoline engine; running a ratio like that on pump fuel depends on chamber design and fuel delivery rather than the number alone.
It is one of 13 engines in the Skyactiv-G family, sitting between the 91.3 ci and 201.4 ci members. 2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 280 hp. Factory fitments include the Mazda CX-90, Mazda CX-70.
