Dispelling Myths: Using RX-8 internals in a 13B-REW

I am sure it has been discussed elsewhere, but I was hoping to get it added to this thread:

What about using RX-8 rotors in the 13B-REW?

If one wasn't looking for more than 7-10 lbs of boost, and used water injection, and wasn't looking for peak numbers, but wanted lots more on the low end.... wouldn't these be a good option?

Aside from machining the apex seal groove out deeper (I am unsure of the validity of this) what else would be required?
