That is interesting Ed.  Just thinking about it and now it would seem that the expelled residue would be the first thing that got sucked back thru a dedicated runner, also having a negative effect.

Tom,

 

One reason that Jerry would not want to do that is that there is overlap between intake and exhaust.  That means while one rotor is trying to suck air in its intake port - the intake port of the other rotor may be expelling some residue exhaust gas out its intake and opposing any incoming air.  I think the engine would certainly  run but I don't think you would develop best power.  Now it would probably  be a different story with the Renesis which by moving the exhaust ports to the side housings has eliminate the exhaust/intake overlap.

 

FWIW

Jerry,

Since only one rotor chamber is drawing fuel/air at any given time, why would you not feed them both from a single throttle body?

George, originally I was going to hook up with a piece of hose over the
butted pieces with a couple of hose clamps. That is how I will attach
the other end at the throttle bodies. But, we have been considering
welding and also building some type of flange. Certainly, for starters
I will use the hose and clamp method. Jerry
