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
