Porsche Turbo 3.3 specs: 3.3L (201.32 ci) 6-cylinder, 97 x 74.4 mm (3.8189 x 2.9291 in) bore and stroke, 7:1 compression. SOHC. Rod ratio and piston speed.
The Porsche Turbo 3.3 is oversquare — the 3.8189" bore exceeds the 2.9291" stroke by 30.4% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 2.9291" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 8,200 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 33.6 ci (550 cc).
7:1 is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 15 engines in the 930 family, the largest at 201.32 ci. 2 factory variants share these dimensions.
