Well, I got a 1st gen rx7 with what I thought had the 1.1L 12a engine. And I ran the vin on carfax.com but the results came back that it had a 1.2L Rotary FI. Now I'm curious to find out more about the car, but I don't have an account to get the full history report.
DOSE ANYONE KNOW how can get a vehicle history report without paying 20$. thanks alot

Do you have an 84 or 85 GSL-SE? Those came with the fuel injected 13B instead of the 12A. The SE was the premium model for those years. PS, I don't know if you wan't your VIN open to everybody just in case some one with the right connections can get keys made or something.

The 13B engines in the SE have a boxy aluminum Dynamic Effect Chamber atop the engine with RE-EGI moulded into it, with the intake running forward to a black airbox behind the right headlight bucket.
The 12A have a blue round air cleaner pan atop the engine.
On the left side of the engine the side housings will be marked 12A or 13B
