The Full Story
About
This is everything you need to know about Rotary Secret Garage how everything started and the course we've taken through the years to end up where we are today.
2012
Was the year that everything started. The founder of Rotary secret garage (Xeno) took his first drive on a 400hp FD RX-7, and immediately realized I NEED this! Shortly after the story starts with a blown FD3S, which was the first ever rotary engine he'd ever build. The mentality was do it once, cry once, so instead of just building a fresh engine and toss it back in, got all new electronics (Adaptronic Select), ignition coils (AEM IGN1A), ID injectors and so on.. the result was an amazing super reliable RX-7, putting down 430hp. And the story goes...
2013 - 2017
Rotary engine building and tuning was a side project for Xeno, and through these years his name was coming up strong in the rotary community and one after the other requests from other RX7-RX8 owners for a Rebuild or Tune service started piling up. One of the most famous builds was TheRingDorito, a time attack FD3S located in Spa Franchochamps (BE). Also by that time we have started using coil on plug ignition coils on rotaries ( S2k, Yaris, GTR).
2018
Was a changing year. Xeno, quit on his main job and committed to the rotary gods. The requests for rebuild/ restore/ tune/ get-the-car-running-finally, were so many that he either had to stop that side project or fully commit. The rotary community was lucky that Rotary Secret Garage was established as a business! Also, became a Turblown dealer.
2019
New project cars, countless engine builds for customers and other shops, remote tuning rotaries around Greece/ Europe and biggest success was that more and more cars built by other shops came to us to get them finished.
2020
This year started dynamically by moving to a new bigger shop (300m³ vs 160m³ the old one). And begun dynamically with huge projects, like a 550hp REW swap FB, a 3rotor FD3S, a REW swapped RX8 with 7speed DCT transmission and many more... Also it was the year we had our first custom cnc products made.
2021
Engine build - Tuning - Repeat
The volume of the cars going in and out of the shop doubled plus the demand for more complicated project cars, pushed us into taking the next step and move to a bigger shop (700m³ vs 300m³ the previous shop). In the meanwhile 3Rotor RX8 was built and a Supra Mk4 full engine and engine bay build. Plus we managed to break the Greek Rotary 0-400 drag record.
2022
The year started really intense with a lot trips abroad for building and tuning cars (Israel, Cyprus, Spain..) and many more cars built at the shop, like FD3S restoration, FC3S restoration, RX4 build and the first year that Rotaries from across Europe started showing up at the shop for Rebuild and Restoration. Became a Haltech ECU dealer. Took part in many car shows that managed to establish Rotarysecretgarage name as the Rotary flame and noise representatives.
2023
The volume of the cars being built through the year was surprisingly huge. Plus building a 8HP70 3Rotor RX8, a 2JZ Supra MK4 Pro spec drift car and 13B-RE FC3S Pro spec Drift car and many many rotary engines for RX7 - RX8, for upcoming projects and other shops.
2024
The year started with another crazy 2JZ Supra MK4 build, troubleshooting a R35 GTR and preparation for 1000+ hp setup, building a NA RX8 DCT time attack car and many more. Through the past years our team managed to make Rotary Secret Garage name equal to engine bay perfection. At the end of the year we expanded the shop by extra 300m³ making the total area of the shop 1000m³. We also managed to increase the volume and stock of our custom made CNC parts, as the demand skyrocketed.
2025
It started as an amazing year, by having MadMike Whiddett and Taisuke from TCP magic at our shop, a dream come true. Going to Czech Republic to tune on dyno a couple hybrid racing rx8. Became a Link ECU dealer. So far a Nissan 280ZX turbo build, a FD3S complete restoration, a R35 GTR 1200hp preparation, a 400hp renesis turbo kit completely designed by us, more cars from abroad (Spain, Turkey, Romania, Montenegro...)
