Lightbulb Super LPG RX8 Torque Monster

Have any of you contemplated the possibility of running the RX8 on LPG? its true LPG is for taxis and their ultra stingy drivers and not for high performance cars but lately its been proving otherwise. AND ITS VERY VERY CHEAP. Sure it will be laughed upon but rotorheads thrive on being outcasts...or not?! anyways kiss my as I speed away on my rotary cooker.
The LPG conversion been applied to turbos and n/a's alike plenty of times but were mostly pistons. Rarely been done on rotaries and those converted were the older carb model engines. True you can convert the new ones to carbs but we want to take advantage of the newer tech. Conversion kits have been developed that emulate fuel injection in their operation. And has long since been applied in LPG conversions, but again only on pistons. And now newer developments allow LPG to be injected in same way as petrol in liquid form. Previously, in both carb and injection designs the LPG had to be evaporated externally through the use of an evaporating orifice that ran coolant connections from the engine before being allowed entrance into the engine. This because the expansion and super cooling effect (literal ICEING of the intake) of the LPG as it changes from liquid to gas form has the same effect of running CRAZY nitrous and boost (crazy as in a 2000hp nitrous shot on 500psi boost crazy) . Therefore naturally blowing the piston engines to smithereeeeeens...with head bolts and pistons flying at supersonic speeds and impaling unsuspecting taxi drivers...damned pistons...what these cab drivers/scientists never did is try this system on a rotary engine, am pretty sure it would have worked out just fine and testing wouldnt have entailed any casualties. And here before my eyes shone the beautiful glimmer of a possibility. It is the devising of a system so great, so CHEAP(very deeply emphasized) solely engineered for performance purposes and using exclusive rotary technology, greatly increasing the unique factor and doing wonders to my self esteem.......THE ROTARY LPG TORQUE MONSTER............. yes, believe it or not if we manage to harness this power, we will be controlling astounding horse and torque numbers similar to gigantic truck powerplants outputs such as the famous MACKs and their godzilla torque figures. Instant god status, we will be reigning masters of superior internal combustion technology...... BUT since the actual LPG Liquid Phase System is early in development it be hard to source parts for our own DIY R&D. In the ready available LPG kit department, none had been produced that operate in this Liquid Phase setup, well at least commercially. who knows what they are doing behind closed doors, we will just have to wait and let this cook a bit (no pun intended).
