This is what they need to use. The math calculations can go different ways. This is physical measurement.

My point though is that SAE has a designated way of measuring 4 stroke engine displacement and Mazda clearly violates it by claiming the 13B-REW as a 1.3L engine

It is fairly easy. And wasn't it you that was saying your dad told you to unhook the battery cables with the car running to make sure the alternator works?

Ah. My bad! I know someone was saying something about that though. BTW, don't do that to test your alternator.

edit: OK it was someone else. I just had to go back and check because I knew had a talk about someone with this before.

PS: Acura will be an ass raping for a new alternator

lol, don't you hate that? yeah, your alternator is probably freezing up. A/C compressor failure is also a mis-diagnosis of a mass engine failure because it won't turn over because of the resistance in the frozen compressor.

aka, get it fixed asap so your car doesn't get hurt anymore! lol

Just test the alternator with a voltmeter. It should run around 13.5-14.5 volts at idle if the alternator is good. The battery should read 12 volts with every thing off <---- obviously :???:

Yea really! But I do think it was for a engine not a CD-Rom drive. I mean displacement of a drive? And axle references? Eh anywho mazda screwed-up. Even all games ive seen rotors in (or even on option) the rotary is refered to as (654cc X 2)

Well the rotary was originally thought up and designed by Felix Wankel as an idea for a supercharger before he moved on with the idea and made it an engine. I think it could still make a pretty bad ass supercharger out of it. That would be nice, strap a tiny 2-rotor rotory supercharger onto a teggy

From other thread so I dont thread jack it

Yep. Gotta be wireless on a DSM. The damn cigarette lighter plug is in a horrible spot right in front of the shifter. You can slam 3rd gear an turn the radio off at the same time :lol: On my GSX I just put it on top of the windshield by the mirror and wired into the lights that go into the rear view mirror

The mute button during alarms (expecially around town!) becomes your best friend. And it must suck to have to hit a button on the detector. Like I was saying the hard-wire has a mute button on it, and i dont even have to take my hand of the shifter to hit it. Doesnt get in the way much either.

The placement of it annoys the hell out of me and I can't stand that wire running all in front of my radio....especially with a short shifter
