Hi Paul.
  Did was there ever version of diesel rotary? Thanks.

  Not so far.

  Is it possible for me to order a custom made rotor with compression
  ratio of 18:1?
    I could come up with way to adapt pump and injectors to it.
  The biggest concern with diesel is the turbulent of the combustion
  chamber however. Do you think the rotor action can make complete
  fuel burnt possible?  Do you see any draw back with a diesel rotary
  base on the 13b?
  Thanks.

  Not possible. A depression in the rotor face is necessary to allow
  combustion.

I have seen some racers partially fill the depression with a ceramic to increase the compression ratio.  Not sure how well that held up and I don't think you could get 18:1.  But it is something.
