In a two-stroke SI engine a cycle is completed in two strokes of a piston or one complete revolution ( 360 °) of a crankshaft.

While a four-stroke piston engine makes one combustion stroke per cylinder for every two rotations of the crankshaft ( that is, one-half power stroke per crankshaft rotation per cylinder ), each combustion chamber in the Wankel generates one combustion stroke per driveshaft rotation, i. e. one power stroke per rotor orbital revolution and three power strokes per rotor rotation.

The results are directly comparable to a 2. 6-liter piston engine with an even number of cylinders in a conventional firing order, which will likewise displace 1. 3 liters through its power stroke after one revolution of the crankshaft, and 2. 6 liters through its power strokes after two revolutions of the crankshaft.
