alright what if, just a what if, what if you had one of the rotors act as a supercharger and then you have a fairly large starter on the car. So picture this one larger rotor for the supercharger and a smaller for the combustion camber. you make compression with the supercharger instead of just having it. Then until the engine warms up inject the fuel onto the glowplug at TDC. this would give you the extra heat to combust the fuel. So the concept is to use a supercharger built into the engine and make compression, the only challenge there is to start the engine so a electric motor would have to spin it up to speed first to make compression.

The only reason i say this is because the rotary engine is more efficient this means more power and greater gas mileage.
