Latest Turbo Mag: 3Rotor FD on the cover!!!
 

Hey guys, just got the July issue of Turbo and it features a pretty wild 3rotor FD. Dyno numbers on it are 396RWHP and 391.5LB-FT torque. This is on 11psi and pump gas. The guy is from San Diego. If you are on this forum, I just have to say "Nice car!!!!"

Sounds like a nice car, but for a truly badass 3 rotor, check out the one PFS build with the single turbo three rotor.

I have to say that farrell has built the best 3 rotor single turbo set up I have seen!! IMO I am sure that pettits 3 rotors are nice but have yet to see one any one got good pics of the engine bay of pettits? I will post a pics of farrells 3 rotor e-bay pic in a minute.

here is a pic

Most of us know.. But the new owner of the car(the person in the article) is taking credit for building most of the car when he really bought the car like that.

what the heck, the july issue isnt out where i live yet. grrrrr

i got it on friday... nice car!

There are two 20B powered FD's in San Antonio. One on stock twin's is pushing those figures. The other is using a T-66 and has yet to be dyno'd at full boost.

What does san antonia have anything to do with san diego??

I got that issue as well. Kinda low hp figures for a 3 rotor. Granted, its only runnin 11 psi, but if I went through all that trouble and money I'm want to be pushing 500 hp. Whats with the hood on that car anyway? Looks like he just cut holes in the stock hood. Interior is unfinished as well.

I have a much better picture somewhere, but for now, here you go, Pettit's 3-rotor.

in the link posted by black 99, the original owner and builder of that car explains why it only dynod 396rwhp. and yeah, nice car, but the new owner is an ASS

r0gu3 posted that for a reason... take a look at where he is from. ;)

Speaking of 20Bs, does anyone have any vids/sound clips of a 20b-powered 7? I have the vid from the PFS website of the red 20b powered FD on the dyno and it sounds SWEET! Every article I've ever read about the 3 rotor says it sounds just like a V12. I want more . . . does anyone have any? Thanks!

Peace

Actually that IC is twice as thick as the normal PFS IC.

If you look at pettit's 3 rotor conversion the 3rd rotor is pushed foward over the front suspension. That does throw the handling all outta wack trust me. If you look at farrell's it is lower and sets further back and that car handles better than stock! Not to say that pettit's version is not good but for $45,000 bucks it better be the shit....

Like you've driven either car to know what the handling characteristics are..........."trust me" Yea Sure you've read one to many articles Ryan.

Dave you are sucha post whore what do ya follow me or something! Ya in love with me? God man get a grip you are just mad because you dont have your rx-7 haha! anyhow I have been in phil's car you donkey!
Once with the old mechanic scotty who has been long gone the best mechanic they had besides Mitch!! Ray you are the man! But it is your boss MR.FARRELL that I can no longer stand! He is a punk a$$ MOFO! yeah that is right I said it farrell what are ya gonna do take me to court too?

Did anyone notice the pic of the rear of the car has the Efini emblem upside down....

I just find a little video with a 20b

The worst thing i ever seen!

Actually if you look at the pics again they look like thier almost in the same spot. Look at the pic you posted, the tower strut is in line with the 5th runner of the uim. Now look at the Pettit pic where its looking from the drivers side right down on the uim, the tower strut looks to be lined up with the 4th runner of the uim. Thats maybe a 3" difference. There isnt much diffference at all. I'd rather have Pettits custom made sub frame than Peters hack job of moving the firewall!!!!

Also, look at the difference in craftsmanship and presentation, the Farrell pics dont even come close to comparing to Pettits pics!!! I've seen Cams car in person(the blue one in the pics) and its is sssooooo clean, Farrells has a bunch of shit going eveywhere and it just looks terrible to me.

I'm sure they both haul ass though
