Non turbo rotors in a turbo application.
I want to rebuild my 1988 13b turbo housings using non turbo rotors instead. I want the extra compression, and I wan to run 10-12 psi. Has anyone run an engine like this, and are there any problems with the setup? Thanks.

Actually I dont believe thats true. If the compression is higher he may be able to run less boost than stock and get the same hp, or the same boost and get more hp. He would definitely need atleast a piggyback though.

Why would I need a piggyback? Hot rodders change compression ratios all the time, and stll run turbo's or superchargers. Is there something particular to the rotary i'm not seeing? Does the knock sensor loose its mind or something?

A piggyback will allow you to adjust fuel and keep it safely rich, so yes, you could run something like the S-AFC. It's not ideal, but will work just fine. You'll have to run richer then you could have due to the fact that you'll be running more timing then you want to. This will cost a bit of power.
The S-AFC approach certainly does work. Back in the day I ran high compression turbo on the NA ECU with nothing but an FD fuel pump and S-AFC. Not that I would recommend this of course.
The knock sensor is useless in preventing detonation.
