Mazda 13B-REW specs: 1.3L (80 ci) 2-cylinder, 80 x 80 mm (3.1496 x 3.1496 in) bore and stroke, 9:1 compression. Rated 255 hp. Rod ratio and piston speed.
The Mazda 13B-REW is exactly square — 3.1496" bore and 3.1496" stroke are the same — which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.1496" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,600 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 2 cylinders displaces 40.0 ci (655 cc).
9:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 3 engines in the Wankel family, the largest at 80 ci. Factory fitments include the Mazda RX-7 (FD3S Series 6), RX-7 FD, Eunos Cosmo and 1 other.
