Mazda V-twin engine

V-twin engine in Mazda R360 engine compartment

Mazda's first automobile engine was the V-twin family. This tiny air-cooled engine was only produced for a few years in the early 1960s before Mazda introduced a more common inline-four engine configuration.

BA (356 cc)[]

The first automobile engine from Mazda was the 356 cc (60x63 mm) air-cooled 90° V-twin. It was an overhead valve 4-valve pushrod design. This engine produced 16 PS (12 kW) and 16 lb·ft (22 Nm) in the 1960 Mazda R360.

EB (577 cc)[]

The engine was enlarged to 577 cc for the 1961 B600, which was built until 1966.^[1] It produces 20 PS (15 kW) at 4300 rpm and 3.8 kg⋅m (37 N⋅m; 27 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3000 rpm. This engine is popular with custom motorcycle builders in Indonesia, who use it in a variety of frames to emulate the V-twin engined Harley-Davidsons.
