IIMO as stated its a bit of a waste of time.

The main problem is that even with a higher static compression, you still ahve to seal the rotor in the housing to make that compression. So all the machining, and the side seal differences of the RX-8 rotors will result in a loss of dynamic compression when compared to a S5 rotor designed to operate in this style engine.

And the dynamic compression the rotors make when they're running is ultimately what makes the power.
