The fact that it only has one turbocharger makes it a single turbo.

This is a 1.3 ROTARY Engine not a 1.3V4, you can make some INSANE power with these engines, and it will smoke V8, V10 and oh yea even V12's with the right setup and tune.....

Are you indicating that there are no cars that come with 4cylinders....... He stated a 1.3 liter not a 1.8, so therefore I used the V4 example, if you like Ill change my comment to a V6 if that makes you feel better. Or to better comprehend the simplicity of my example.

It's just a guess. It appears to be a 93, since it has the chrome acorn nuts on the UIM. It's my understanding that those were discontinued in subsequent years, so it wouldn't be a PEP. It has cruise, which is a little more involved to add to an R1 than the strut brace, so I went with the odds. And I'm not sure, but I was thinking an oil line coming from the second cooler should be visable. Could be a base, but it has cruise and IIRC there were more touring models in 93.

No, I was saying that V4s are practically non-existant. Incase you didn't know, V means something, and very few cars come with a V4. Almost al 4 cyl cars are I4s, and some are H4s.

Oh I see my mistake, LOL I guess I got caught up with all the other V's in the 8, 10 and 12's.

On the side note I know the difference as Ive worked on my cars and other's for the past 9years, sorry that I got offensive right away, I didn't realize that mistake.

you know, technically, atleast in All Data, the Subaru Flat blocks are considered a "180 Degree V4"

That is incorrect. A 180-degree V engine has two cylinders sharing the same crankpin; a true "Boxer" engine like the Subaru has a separate crankpin for each cylinder, which allows it to have perfect primary balance because the opposing forces of each side cancel each other out.
