It's a common misconception that rotaries don't make torque. They actually make plenty of torque, especially the turbo ones, and more especially the worked turbo ones; it's just that rotaries make their peak torque at fairly high rpm. As far as chassis twisting goes, it doesn't matter what rpm the torque kicks in, so a worked 13B turbo is going to stress the KE55 chassis well beyond its design parameters.
The full cage is a good idea (make sure it's a cross-braced one, not just a rollover protection cage) but that won't be enough. You'll also want to strengthen the rear of the car where the axle mounts to the chassis, and the front of the car as well; a strut brace triangulated to the firewall would be a good start.
