What does that even mean?

"JDM" means Japanese Domestic Market. All kinds of things can be described as "JDM". Not every JDM engine is a rotary as Mazda is currently the only manufacturer to be using the rotary in production cars.

no, every RX produced has/had a rotary. im stilla little bit confused on your question though. JDM just means it was produced for the japanese market. but any RX7 will have a rotary.

Yeah, be careful. You don't want to end up with the twin turbo V6 RX-7 that most of North America got...

Seriously, try and formulate your questions as a complete thought in understandable sentences. I still don't know exactly what you are asking but I can assume that you wish to purchase a JDM (generally referred around here as "J-spec") rotary engine? You are not going to get any worthwhile answers on this forum if you can't communicate the question properly.

If so, then ALL RX-7s are rotary. There was never a non-rotary RX-7 produced by Mazda.
