some things are somethings aren't.
if you do change rotors u have to change the counter weight/flywheel.
The big changes are compression ratios (for rotors).
side housings between na/turbo are quite different (6 port and 4port) and are not interchangeable.
housings have different spark plug spacing but i think it is negligable (trailing-emissions?).
basically it's not a straight forward as a direct swap.
post a combination and some of the other guys could tell you if it will work.

I have a 93 Rx7 and have the engine apart. I am waiting on a manual and some micrometers and the like to do some measurements. I likely will have the engine built out side but I would still like to explore a bit. I was going to buy James Paventi's motor/car but I missed it to someone else. That was too bad but shi* happens. The machining and part fitting is where everything is so critical. I am a piston guy and with a rotary the cylinder walls are laid out like a pie tin, flat and large. truly a rocket engine. I am so shocked to see 300 horse power come out of one of these so easy.. Managing the turbos, timing and fuel mixture is where you can turn an engine into trash. I also would like to go ceramic again I would like to be 20 again. John
