If ever there has been something that seems destined to invoke debate and
heated argument, it's the issue of the true displacement of the 13B twin
rotor Mazda Engine.
<... SNIP ...>
In the end, like most arguments of this type, it really doesn't make a bit
of difference. The rotary engine is blithely unaware of the liberties taken
with its displacement and could probably care less if it did know. But,
every once in awhile the record needs to be place on notice of the correct
facts. The 13B displaces approx 120 cubic inches over its complete engine
cycle or 80 CID over 2/3 of its complete cycle - your choice {:>).
FWIW
