All mazda motors Mazdarotary enginerotary engines are essentially a single family - they all derive from the firstrotary engineexperiments in the early 1960sMazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycarsOver the years, displacement has been increased (somewhat) mazda motors , and turbocharging has been added to great effect Mazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycarsThis is the engine family that made MazdafamousMazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycars
In auto racingand for Japanese tax purposes, the displacement of rotary mazda motors engine engines is defined as the equivalent of 1.5 times the nominal displacementMazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycarsSo the 1.3 L 13B engines count as just under 2.0 L for these purposes Mazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycars
rotary enginemazda motors engines can be classified by their rotor size in terms of width (diameter) and depth (thickness)Mazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycarsThese metrics function similarly to the bore and stroke measurements of a piston engine Mazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycarsmazda motors Nearly all Mazdaproductionrotary engineengines share a single rotor diameter: 105 mm (4.1 in) with a 15 mm (0.6 in) crankshaft offsetMazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycarsThe only engine to diverge from this formula mazda motors was the rare 13A, which used a 120 mm (4.7 in) diameter and 17.5 mm (0.7 in) offset Mazda, mazda motors, mazda newcars, mazda performance, mazda protege5, mazda repair, mazda rx, mazda rx 2, team mazda, test drive, test drive offers, fast black sexycars, fast sexycars
