Volkswagen CZTA specs: 1.4L (85.1 ci) 4-cylinder, 74.5 x 80 mm (2.9331 x 3.1496 in) bore and stroke, 10:1 compression. Used in the Volkswagen Jetta.
The Volkswagen CZTA is undersquare — the 3.1496" stroke exceeds the 2.9331" bore by 6.9% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.1496" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,600 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 21.3 ci (349 cc).
10:1 is in the range that usually runs on pump premium.
It is one of 4 engines in the EA211 family, the smallest at 85.1 ci.
