{{convert|1597|cc|L|1|disp=flip|abbr=on}} '''B6ZE(RS)''' - (Bore & Stroke 78x83.6 mm) - Developed for the [[Mazda MX-5]]/Miata (1989–05) and Mazda Familia sedan GS/LS Full Time 4WD (JP only, 1994–1998). The engine uses a [[DOHC]] 16-valve alloy head with a lightened crankshaft and flywheel to allow a 7,200 rpm redline. An aluminum sump with cooling fins is an unusual feature of this engine. The US and European version (1990-1993) had a 9.4:1 compression ratio and produced 86 kW (115 hp) at 6,500 rpm, and 136 N⋅m (100 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm. The later European version (1994-1997) produced 66 kW (90 hp) at 6,500 rpm, and 129 N·m (95 lb·ft) at 5,500 rpm. It was then updated to 82 kW (110 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 134 N·m (99 lb·ft) at 5,000 rpm for the models from 1998 to 2005. The Japanese version of the engine also had a 9.4:1 compression ratio and produced 120 hp (90 kW) at 6,500 and 100 lb·ft (136 N·m) at 5,500. After 1998 the power was increased to 125 hp (93 kW) at 6,500 and 105 lb·ft (143 N·m) at 5,000.
