That looks like a dual 28/36 DCD setup. DCD's have a 28mm barrel and a 36mm barrel to feed the primaries and secondaries seperately.

Did you use an interlaced camera?

I drove an RX4 that had that setup once. I was impressed with it's low end and midrange performance, but the top end dropped off a little bit. Still way better (and infinitely cooler looking) than the stock carb, though. That was on a street-ported 4-port 13B.
I think those were made by Rotary Engineering IIRC.

Rotary Engineering's glasspacks have withstood the test of time. If that company was still in bussiness, I'd buy some for my white REPU and Cosmo.

Does anybody know any contact info where we could find out more about that dual carb setup?

I think you'd be better off selling those and going single carb if you wanna go turbo. Save yourself a lot of trouble...

I'll be selling my carb and intake manifold soon. The manifold is a J-Spec 12aTurbo manifold that has been ported. The carb is a Nikki carb modded for boost. It also has a aluminum turbo hat with it. The carb still needs a little tuning, but it runs fine now. I can't sell it quite yet because I don't have a weber yet, but soon.
