Is that a 4 rotor Wankel in there?

Long story but here is the short answer. Chuck is using four intake 
runners on his two rotor engine. Some two rotor engines have only two
ports. They are called peripheral ports. The LeMans four rotor engine
also used peripheral ports and therefore it had four intake runners
as well.
