Totally off topic (Almost) : 2 of the top people at Mazda's R&D center in Irvine have turbocharged 13b rotaries in their personal Datsun 510s. Way cool.
I hope you find the info you're looking for.

Probably the simplest option would be a carburated 13b. The 510 is pretty spacious, so fit isn't too hard. I've seen a lot bigger things shoved into them. Still, I don't think there is a kit for this swap, so be prepared to fabricate what's needed.
