Is there any person/shop that have tried these and have any feedback on them? Imagine a 100lb billet short block that's significantly stronger than the oem engine. The billet rotors for $800aud a piece seems to be a really good deal.

It's nice to be updated on new technology, but I'm not going to be a guinea pig for parts. Once all the kinks are worked out though, this kind of setup has the potential to really improve the rotary engine is our rx7's as it will be lighter, stronger, and hopefully more reliable (only time will tell on that).
Does anyone know if the plate on the "irons" are going to be replaceable like tagheims wolvo 4 rotor design?
Here's some pics of his irons:

cast iron is still stronger but obviously heavier, of course you have to add more aluminum to the bosses to compensate.
