As some of you know I am doing my uni project on the rotary engine. I have a section on modifactions. Just asking for a list for mods that can be done to the rotary engine, which I can investigate more
Cheers

How long is a piece of string?

In terms of the actual bare block then I guess you are looking at:-

Inlet porting
Peripheral porting
Exhaust porting
Dowling
Strengthened stationary gears
Lightened rotors
Milled tip slots for larger apex seals
Different design apex seals (Carbon, cermaic, 2 piece)
Lightened flywheel
etc

Intercoolers:
Front mount
standard mount uprated
vmount

Air filters:
HKS
Apexi
Feed

Turbo`s:
LOL endless, bigger the tubby the more mental the port needs to be to aid the spooling process. i.e a TO4E will run fine on a standard engine port, a T51 will need a large street port to a half bridge id say.

Fueling:
Another mine field.

Exhaust/downpipes:
Fitting larger diameter downpipes, decating, bigger bore and as straight as poss backbox i.e more flow so better bhp/noise

:)
Hope that helps a little

No probs - might be worth giving one of the vendors a call, they will be able to give you some more ideas I\'m sure :)
