better off with a FS motor even with FI - baby 6's and V6 inparticular all lack low end due to shott stroke and baby bore. It's why now you see everywhere a Resurgence in longstroke large cap 4 cylinders
mazda had the F2 - Mitsu with the astron 2.6L
honda had it's 2.3L
now resurgance.
MZr 2.3L is just a f2 with .5 larger bore and twin cam head
and new 2.5L just a big larger again.
honda's 2.4L
Mitsubishi's 2.4L
even the might BP in many ways is making come backs
the motor in the mazda 2 is very very similar to the old B6. If you look at the specs.
The only real reason capacity is up is to gain power with tighter emissions.
The cam shaft profiles rely on varibale timming so much now. So they can achive power with emission friendly economy.
Before it was used more often. car makers just went smaller and smaller camshafts.
Last of the leaded engine camshafts were the biggest ones upto 70degress on them V euro3 level friendly 55 and 50
degrees. lower octane unleaed meant 60 - 65.
Ah the good old days before the greeny homosexuals ( not that I have probelm with them being green) got in the way and when all we wanted from higher more refined fuels for more power.
