wouldn't that make it a 2.6L then. I've been always told 1308cc.

Hmm... how to carefully sidestep the displacement debates. Here goes:
It uses the same amount of air as a 2.6L 4-stroke piston engine. For instance, if you run a 13B and a 2.6L piston engine at 5000 RPM, they will be flowing the same amount of air (assuming the same volumetric efficiency). Note that air flow determines how much power you can make.

By the strict definition of displacement it's a 1.3, but because rotaries and piston engines are so different it's comperable to a 2.6, 4 cyl, piston engine. Depends on how you want to look at it.
When I'm racing it's a 1.3, then if I won, I can say I beat the person with a 1.3L engine and rub it in if the peron's being an ***. Should I loose, then I can say I only have a 1.3L engine.
j/k I don't actually do that.
But those articles should clear up your questions.
