The May issue of Sport Compact just showed up and there is an interesting article on pg 14 about the renesis, this guys thoughts about the future RX7 and a 16B eight port direct injection engine, displacement of the rotary, etc... He brings up the argument about how the 13B is 2.6 liters, 20B is 3.9 liters, Mazda is wrong, etc. Its worth checking out.

Do you think mazda (The people who designed the frickin engine) has not debated this? Do you think that they felt smaller is better and 2.6 would be way to much for a rotary. So if you designed the engine i say you should know how much it displaces. So if you arent mazda. . .shut up

And you by the way are so close minded you sound like a migrant from rx7 forum. At least think about a new idea before automatically discounting it you feeble minded peon.

its all the the way you rate it. a rotary will fire its rated displacement every 360 degrees of output shaft rotation. a piston engine will fire half its rated displacement every 360 degrees of output shaft rotation. so if you take the full piston engine displacement the rotary is twice as large. so its all in how you look at it, if the 13b is 1.3l than a 4.6mustang is 2.3l....
