13b to single rotor conversion?

Same as the above. is it possible. if you have one rotor that blew up, could you just discard it and the housing and make it smaller. of course the intakes and exhaust would have to be changed on the engine but is the idea possible. i'm new to rotary engines and i was just curious. if you guys have links it would be helpful too lol.

single rotor engines exist, if you blow a 13b and just use the front rotor, it will cost you more to get it running properly that it will cost to rebuild.

That would be one very weak engine. Just fix you wrecked rotor and get back on the road.

This is probably one of the weirdest questions I've read on the forum yet...

I've thought about it for use in something like a Metro or something. A nice PP with a Disco Potato would rock your socks! I think Atkins sells single rotors also Rotamax sells a single rotor setup.
