If I could make the tools to do one-off foundry work, RE-Amemiya could and I'm willing to bet they have machinists who are far more skilled than I (because that's not saying much) Everyone thinks things like this are impossible. It's not as straight forwards as slapping off-the-shelf parts together, or machining parts slightly, but it's not rocket science.
I'm still waiting for someone to break down and make rotors out of something other than cast iron.

I think the next step is to increase the displacement with two rotors, not add another one.

Note that this is too much work for me and I'm not claiming otherwise. Besides, peripheral ports are far cooler.

I'd be willing to bet the use of a 20B at such low power levels is for reliability. Turbo cars can generate a great deal of heat and turbo rotaries get quite hot under racing conditions. Given the same HP level and the reduced complexity of an N/A motor I think the 20B makes a great deal of sense.

the heat really gets the turbines going - that's why we have pretty good spool on a single turbo with such low displacement.
