A Good Book About Rotaries / Rotary Tuning?
Can any of you rotary gurus recommend a good book on rotaries and rotary tuning? I understand the concepts and components, but as wakeech is doing with turbos, I'd like to learn as much as possible about rotary engines.

some really great books:
The Wankel Rotary Engine: A History By John B. Hege
Basically ... uhhh ... the history of the rotary engine. Has a decent amount of technical information, but not much on tuning.
Mazda RX-7 Performance Handbook bye Mike Ancas
How to tune your RX-7 for racing. Info on suspension, exhaust, brakes, and the engine, of course. :p
I haven't finished reading the second one, so no guarantees, though it's pretty good so far. The first one was a good read, with lots of obscure facts about the wankel (e.g. Rolls Royce made a diesel rotary engine, etc.) Nonetheless, neither of these books focus specifically on rotary tuning, but each has a fair amount information on the subject.
