That is incorrect.

In a four cylinder 2.0l piston engine each crankshaft rotation will see 1.0l worth of power (one combustion stroke per cylinder ever two rotations). In a 1.3l rotary each eccentric shaft rotation will see all 1.3l worth of power. If you are going to rate the rotary on the same scale (volume vs shaft rotation) it would be equivalent to a 2.6l engine.
