2.6 or 1.3
Im in the uk and on another forum i started a post about an rx7 gen3 and alot of people are saying that the car is a 2.6 and im sure that its a 1.3 could anyone shed some light on this :(:confused: and could you point me to a mazda site that states that because i know they wont believe me when i show them just the post
Thanks Ps i sort of envy gen3 owners:( cause im 18 and i cant get insured on one yet |
1. Use the search function, this has been debated to death.
2. This topic does not belong in the Advanced Tech 3rd Gen section. |

You're right it's 1.3L, but it breaths like a 2.6L.

Their rated displacement reflects the total air pumped in, over a complete engine cycle (2 crank revs). In this case, complete engine cycle is when all cylinders have been fired once. Mazda wankels are also 4 stroke engines. But their rated displacement reflects the total air pumped in during just ONE crank rev. ---------- The 'one rev' mazda rating considers each housing as a cylinder, and suggests a complete engine cycle is when both housings have fired once (one rev). It ignores the fact that at any instant, 6 independent chambers (2 rotors x 3 faces) are each at varied stages of the otto cycle, just like a snapshot of a 6 cylinder piston engine. Regarding displacement of air into the engine, automotive engineers (and a few others) understand that all 6 of these chambers will go through complete otto cycles in 3 e-shaft revs (one true engine cycle), displacing 3.9L in 3 revs. You can still just look at 2 revs (2.6L) to compare with piston engines, or one rev (1.3L) for the NSU/mazda rating. -------- Problem is there is no proper universal method/standard for claimed engine displacement ratings, so ratings for 2-stroke scooters, v8 bentleys, and wankel rx7's are not technically consistent for direct comparison of injested air. |
That's a good explanation, Kevin. I like 1.3L or 1308CC the best. Always have. :)

i think its easiest to just count the total volume of the combustion chambers..... we've got two "cylinders" and so add the two combustion chambers for the 2 cylinders and you get 1.3 liters.... same thing if you counted 4 civic combustion chambers (4 cylinder) you'd get 1.6....
bottom line, is that they are just mad cause we have cooler motors! whoo hoo! |
