Rotaries aren't that special; treat them as a two stroke two cylinder of stated volume (ie, 1.1 or 1.3 literss), or as a four stroke engine with twice the RPM. Port timing info is available, and with all of that info, you should be able to calculate runner size and length and plenum volume, as well as throttle body size for your given peak torque/horsepower point.

As an interesting note, by using exhaust and intake runners a couple of inches longer on one rotor than the other, each rotor will have a different peak power point about 500 or so rpm apart, which leads to a wide peak power. Helpful if you have a particularly peaky motor like a P-port or a big bridge.
