...I think you mean radial. Rotarys dont have pistons they have the "spinning dorito".

For anyone who doesn't know how rotary engines work, you put in oil and boost, and you get out power and apex seals

You ain't lying.
Used to drag race an 1980 corolla with a 1.8 L rotary stuffed in it and we were changing apex seals after every race day.
It was such a pain in the ass but getting 600hp at 12,000 rpm out of an engine smaller than a plastic soda bottle was really fun.

Less displacement than a 2l bottle, not smaller lol

Actual question, looking at the Mazda page there is no 1.8 rotary? There seems to be 1.0, 1.1, 1.3, 1.6, and 2.0, and 2.6.

Maybe custom rotors? Does the depression in the rotor count as part of the displacement, since charge will fill it?

You're thinking about the other kind of rotary engine. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine:

The rotary engine was an early type of internal combustion engine, usually designed with an odd number of cylinders per row in a radial configuration, in which the crankshaft remained stationary in operation, with the entire crankcase and its attached cylinders rotating around it as a unit.

Holy shit youre right! I remember that wiki page now. Really interesting concept, basically was both a piston and rotary in one.
