actually if you want to go the "round about way" its much closer to a v6 than a 4 cyl. really the only things that make it similar to a 4 cyl engine is that it has 4 spark plugs (one upper and one lower for each rotor), maybe the 1.3l displacement, and sort of the same sound. other than that it would really be a stretch. its really too bad that nobody has been able to overcome the fuel efficincy deficit of rotaries bc they are incredibly simple engines and respond to fi with amazing gains. even the new renesis that supposedly had gained so much fuel economy through reworked and placed ports has not lived up to its claims (as far as economy goes). well sorry about dragging on, i just fell in love with the rotaries and even with all the headaches my rx7 gave me i would love to have one again.
