New member: 3 rotor FD owner/tuner from Russia

[20bfd3s]

Hi guys!

I was invited here by Glenn and once I first visited this forum I become very happy. So many nice people with so much valuable rotary specific information and great projects. Thank you Grenn!

Well, a little about me.
I live in Moscow, Russia and tune cars. Actually this is my hobby and my primary work is a telecom services but I tend to love it more and more every new year and probably switch to tuning completly one day.
I am working with other guys here who do all mechanics and I do electronics/EMS tuning.
Mostly we like to tune japanese cars,such as 3000gts,supras,WRXs.. and of course RX-7s..

20B FD3S that I have now is my personal project that I started 5 years ago.
It was slow to build it because everything  was from my personal budget and most of the parts are custom made so it required a lot of time. also  some parts broke on the dyno like transmission and axles and I had to spend much time to install something new.
But this summer engine/tranny parts were finished and I first visited drag race.
My best time is not that good yet, just 10.3 but my tires spinned whole 1/4mile.
345 BFG drag radials were too small to handle it and also OHLINS damphers that I have are not very drag friendly.
I`d like to change it to HKS DRAG and fit MT ET DRAG 28 inch tires but unfortunately racing season is over here, its getting cold and autumn with raining seasonmakes drag race impossible.

So I have 6 months now to prepeare my car for the next season!

Being a rotary fun I cant just spend 6 months and do nothing to my car.
I am planing to switch to ethanol fuel and rebuild engine.
I am thinking about PP short 3 rotor engine with 1-3-2 firing order or even PP 4 rotor! Of course both turbo.

Thus if somebody could help with information about where can I get crank and other related special parts please advice!


here is some more detailed specs about my car, if someone interested:

1994 RH FD3S imported from japan
BN Sports wide body kit with some headlight kit and rear wing

rebuilt 20B with RA apex seals and big street porting
custom intake manifold with 100mm holley throttle body
Bell custom 6" intercooler with 100mm piping
ITS GT80R/BB turbo with HKS GT wastegate
Custom ethanol/water injection controlled by the EMS
twin MSD DIS4HO ignition amplifiers
AEM EMS custom tuned to run 6 coils direct ignition
custom exhaust manifold and custom downpipe and all exhaust 4 inch
ARS cuprum radiator
Driveshaftshop rear axles
TOMEI 2 way LSD
Driveshaftshop alluminium driveshaft
Transmission is an automatic rollerized TH350 (going to change to TH400)
OLINHS damphers (going to change to HKS DRAG)

I might forgot something!

Attached few photos from the drag.
This is me who draw all of that black lines on the asphalt.

Thanks for reading!
