Ok i just got back from getting my oil changed and the guy came up and asked me what liter my car was by the way i have a 84 gs with now 49,000 miles. well i told him i don't know and then he said how many cylineders does it have i said it doesn't have any. and he was getting in my face telling me it had to have cylinders. does my car have cylinders or it just a roater???

 

ok your car has two rotors and no pistons a 12a is 1.1L and about 1100 cc
that guy is a ***

 

1136 cc I believe. And no, your car has no pistons. It has 2 rotors, 1 esentric shaft, 2 stationary gears, 6 apex seals, 12 side seals, and a 8 oil seals. Most of us just say that it has 2 rotors for simplicities sake to save the hassle of trying to explain why our cars don't have pistons.

Ask the guy to get your piston rings changed, and when he is looking up the part, laugh...a lot.

 

For cheap entertainment, call a parts store and ask for a timing belt for an RX7. I have had no less than 3 people tell me "That is a dealer only part".
Of course, it's way more fun to do it in person..................

 

you forgot the 3 corner seals

and like they said...2 rotors [cuz you have a 12a, some have 3 (20b) and even 4 rotors (like in the 787b race car), but usually 2]...if you really wanna know more about the rotary engine...look up online how it works...it is VERY intriguing...and more addictive than crack

 

12a engine has two rotors, each with 574 cc, so you are driving a 1148 cc engine that will kick his stupid piston engine driving ***...!

 

573x2 actually, so 1146 cc.

 

which is near 1200cc...hence the 12a

 

So where can i pick one of these 12a's up at? I want to put it on my gokart!

 

congrats on being one of the few, the proud, to own one of the only cars without pistons!

I had a guy do that to me when testing my alternator at autozone... I told him no pistons, 2 rotors, and he rolled his eyes and put 4 cylinders. Retards....

 

autozone lists it as 0 cylinders
