Last I saw was that he had to sell most of that car to pay some debts. Lots of drama...

I think the confusion lies in that he was Issam@034 on AZ for a long while.

OP: If you're serious about the swap 034 is def who you'd want to contact. Their VR6T B5 made 908 hp at the EuroTuner GP last year.

Correct. It should have actually been Issam-Not@034. lol

He was just sharing the advertising account with 034. But by getting a 510 area code(same as 034) he tried to make it look like he was there at the 034 shop.

Yes it did but that was really just a setup to win the dyno part of that event. For road racing they switched to a smaller turbo.

Now the car is setup with a 2.1 liter 4 cylinder and 1.8t head, making about half that power. But this is because it is setup for road racing(time attack) only now.


The USP motorsport VR6T B5 S4 has put down 800+whp, but the rear diff keeps blowing up.

This is true, and even with the smaller turbo they were still much faster around the track than any of the competetion. It also took them a long while to get everthing dialed in correctly. They talked about how during the previous 2 ET GPs they didnt complete the event due to mechanical issues.

Yes, one year they actually cracked the VR6 crank causing only a few cylinders to spin the flywheel.


Car is much faster now with the 4 cylinder because the over all weight of the car is much lighter. With the VR6 setup they had to run a very heavy ballast on the rear off the car to balance it out. They dont have to do that now with the 4 cylinder under the hood.
