Group ND Proposal
The rotor housings and end and intermediate plates must be those that were standard for that particular model. The inlet ports in the end and intermediate plates may be modified by the removal of metal, including bridgeporting, but the original O-ring seals must remain unmodified and in their original location.
Justification and Rationale
As there are no precedence for Rotary Engines in Category 5 this may be a difficult requirment to define As a starting point we have followed the Group 2B Production Sports car regs
"The total number of throttle plates can be no more than the number of engine cylinders or rotors."
I don't understand this idea, a rotary only can only have 2 throttles (or 2 injectors for that matter) A rotary is treated different to a traditional combustion engine.
You are multiplying the FIA capacity by 1.8. Normally the housing is the block and the end plates are treated as the head. Not that I agree with this but it's just how it is. It comes with a 4 barrel manifold with 4 runners and a 4 barrel carby standard, going to 4 internal ports (there is even a 6 port block). No different to a 4 cylinder. You are allowing other engines the ability to change their heads. (twin cam, valve sizes and angles) Porting is another item, you should be allowing peripheral ports as this is a very common modification is this era. 12a housings are very hard to find it is very common to machine a 13b housings to the same width as a 12a. There is no power benefit to this only cost. You can't do much with a rotary and modern technology compared with 40 years of piston engine technology.
