    the 13B-REW is a twin-turbo with 2 rotors (3rd gen RX7's 93'-02')
    the 12A was a 2 rotors NA (1st gen RX7)
    the 20B was a 3 rotor (aviation, Mazda cosmo, and I think a Mazda truck had one)

    a rotor =

    Not sure why you picked those 3 engine codes to define things...but the 20B only came in the cosmo.

    Of course not. You just missed that the 20B was also twin turbo, and a whole slew of 13b's that most people would have used instead of jumping right to the REW. lol.

    For anyone else that's still wondering about the engine codes, the number=displacement. 13B - 1.3L.

    Truck never came with a 3 rotor, but there was a dude who swapped one. There were 2 version of the 12a, with different port types, and there was a single turbo version of the 13b that was put in to the 87-91 rx7 TII's, which was mechanically similar but didn't have the ceramic seals that made the REW a superior engine for power and longetivity
