Torco Oil posted this video of Fredric “The Norwegian Hammer” Aasbo from Round 1 of the 2012 Formula D Drift Championship at The Streets of Long Beach. He drives the Papadakis Racing / Need for Speed Scion tC. Aasbo took over the ride after Tanner Foust left Formula D to pursue rally and his spot on Top Gear USA.
MotoIQ got an inside look at Fredric’s car as it was being converted from a NASCAR V8 to a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine. They’re currently using a built version of the 2.7 liter engine from the Toyota Sienna minivan. It’s set up with a Borg-Warner turbo with built-in wastegate and blow-ff valve being fed with E85. Head over to MotoIQ to see the rest of the pictures of the engine and suspension.
