SEMA 2013 - The Engines

One of the highlights of SEMA for us, and I'm sure most all other motorheads, is the simply jaw dropping engines that are on display. From imports, euros, to the ever so clean pro-touring styled domestics there is no shortage of horsepower on display.

First off we have the cleanest engine bay in all of FD, Mr. Wangs 2JZ powered S14.

 This LS setup was in a Hyundai Genesis!

Clean supercharged VQ35 in a wildly clean G35 bay

FX Motorsports time attack NSX turbo setup.

 Interesting way to mock up headers.

 Twin supercharged madness!

 This car was setup with a Liquid Propane Injection system. Made some healthy numbers on the dyno

 Race car engines, dry sumped, twin turbo, engineering at its finest.

 Details

 Endless attention to details

 Fox body Mustang with a sweet looking ITB setup

 Bisimoto Engineering Porsche, this car has to sound mean

 There is no shortage of weird random things at SEMA that really make you scratch your head. Rhinestoned out small block Chevy anyone??

 One of my favorites of the show. 55 Buick Special, spot the two snails in the back there!

 Twin Turbo V6 Genesis, pretty crazy setup

 Boosted Honda Odyssey, definitely wouldn't mid rocking this minivan

 Awesome setup on this MK1 Golf, boosted with a Garrett turbo.

 EG Civic Hatch, with a K series swap rocking a huge Garrett Turbo.

 2000HP!!!

 

To feed 2000hp you better have a serious fuel system. This car had a full billet gas tank with the option to run 116 octane on the fly to make that 2000whp happen!

 New Lexus GS340. That is a brand new Lexus GS with a 3.4L 2JZ swap.

OS Giken, the dream engine right here. S20 with full gear driven timing setup. No belts or chains here. Titanium headers that are purely a work of art, being fed by trio of Mikuni side draft carbs.

 2JZs in everything! FRS with a 2J swap, probably a blast to drive

 Because race car

 New custom car using a Ford crate engine with a couple turbos making upwards of 700whp.

Formula D Long Beach 2012

The streets of Long Beach has been the first location for the season opener for Formula D since its inception, and the location couldn't be better to showcase the new cars and talent for 2012. The ocean air mixed with unmistakable smell of burnt rubber will never grow old and always gets the blood pumping. But enough chitchat, all we really care about is the awesomess that took place there. Enjoy!

A lil badass thats for sure!

Ross Petty's immaculately painted and very political S15. The details on this car were amazing, all of the rasta camo is actually painted on the car!

The 1200hp 2JZ swapped SC430 beast driven by Daigo Saito

Nothing too fancy, just everything needed to get the job done!

A pile of parts from D-Mac who unfortunately took himself out. The walls of Long Beach can be very destructive when a car gets sucked into one!

One clean original RHD bluebird 510

All car events wouldn't be complete without an overload of beautiful women

Another unfortunate victim of the walls:(

Just a well put together SR20 setup. Gotta give props to the guys sticking to the roots of where drifting came from. Small displacement motors with the help of a little boost!

A very clean Y34 Cima

EVO 3

Pure classic

The sticker says it all

This S13 was decked out with a ton of different sharpie drawings. The little drawing of the two lovers on the valve cover is similar to how we feel about that nice little snail sitting right next to it:)

I appreciate the attention to detail that goes into building these VIP cars. Nothing but clean lines and immaculate paint, of course dropped on the ground on bags!

George Marstanovic is going to be a force to be reckoned with this season. He qualified 15th in his first FD appearance. Unfortunately Formula D would not let him run with his wing, supposedly it was 1" to tall... He got taken out in the top 32 by Daigo Saito but put up one hell of a fight. Keep in mind that this guy is basically a privateer and built this car in his garage. 

The guy in the white is inches away from these cars as they slide by the clipping point and the wall. He doesn't flinch

All of the drivers put on one hell of a show and drove as hard as they could. There were some well fought battles but in the end Justin Pawlek and his Falken Tires Ford Mustang took the win. That's two years in a row he has won at the Streets of Long Beach. Here is what the podium looked like.

1st - Justin Pawlek

2nd - Dai Yoshihara

3rd - Daigo Saito
