11-sec Z7 Turbo Kit
18 Nov 2021 update - $1k for just Plogs/cold side (see "Asking" paragraph below)
As seen on my 2020-2021 "Bad Grandpa" upgrade posts/YouTube videos (link to video discussing kit), I swapped out this turbo kit after 10yrs/50k of fun for a larger Stattama one to continue pushing the car more.
This a ZZP Z7 Turbo Kit (no longer sold new) that I ran multiple 11.4-11.6's at ~122-126mph at full weight (~3,400 lbs) with upgraded 66mm Turbonetics T3T04e (usually 62mm) through the largest Spearco front-mount intercooler that fits a W-body with bumper still in-place. The Z7 was the 5-bolt flange/2.5" downpipe version of Stattama's T4 flange/3" out, with same crossover/integrated wastegate design (only Z7 and Stattama have this vs. the Z3 and CarTuning kits)
Asking $2,200 ($1,800 w/o turbo) + shipping (estimate $100-200, will get quote for buyer). Can address cosmetics (sand/re-coat chipped paint/powdercoat on pipes, etc.) for little/no additional cost, upon request before shipping.
Edit: $1,000 +shipping for intercooler, cold pipes, P-logs, wastegate... You can get your own hot-side (Stattama, Z7, custom) if you'd rather not wait for mine to be ready.

This turbo kit (with Intense Stg3 turbo cam, basic ported heads, transmission/fuel system upgrades, 5-6mo of initial tuning) quickly hit a best 1/4mi of 11.46 with just 1.8x 60ft times (a time I haven't beaten with the new kit, as of listing this ad), and crossed the finish at a range of 122-126mph with boost of 18-25psi. There's no doubt it has more in it with better launches and even more fine tuning, but I decided to go even bigger during my 2020 shutdown build, so it's up for sale. My loss, your gain. I kind of wanted to keep it for future use, but I have too many "extra" 3800 parts, as shown in my videos.
Parts included (at least $3,500 for similar parts new):
Needed for install:
Suggested:
Bottom line, a great setup to upgrade your 3800 W-body (may fit H/G-body with effort), but you should to optimize it with tuning and supplemental upgrades (fueling, transmission, cooling, cam/valvetrain, etc.) to truly see the full benefits. Expected performance is in-between Z3 and Stattama listed numbers on ZZP pages for those kits.
Installing is a solid effort (expected for something providing this much benefit). I'd be happy to provide info along the way... but for full install/tuning, you'd have to REALLY make it worth my while to set aside my own 3800 fun (not impossible, just tight schedule with work and such).

Parts included (at least $3,500 for similar parts new):
- Turbonetics T66 t3t04e 5-bolt turbo 0.82 A/R turbine (currently refreshing bearings, or get your own turbo to save $, eBay turbos start ~$99)
- oil feed/drain lines
- ZZP Z7 crossover (needs small crack welded near WG perch, can arrange if necessary - vid of what's needed to prevent)
- ZZP Z7 downpipe (connects to TOG-style downpipe from ZZP)
- Tial Sport WG 35mm
- ZZP Front & Rear P-log exhaust manifolds (repaired cracked welds)
- Spearco oversized FMIC 3" in/out (grid core size: 28" x 10.5" x 3.5")
- ZZP charge pipes w/used silicone couplers, clamps
Needed for install:
- Blow-off valve, 50mm flange on pipe (~$80 new, had to keep for new build)
- TOG-style downpipe (~$290 new)
- Upgraded fuel injectors/pump/wiring
- Intake Manifold modifications/replacement for turbo use (ran with L26/HV3 setup)
- Basic nuts & bolts, connectors, vac lines, RTV, fluids, etc. (items that parts/hardware stores have)
- Tuning ability for install/monitoring
Suggested:
- Boost controller (manual ones are cheap/simple to get you going)
- ZZP mini-AFC to skew MAF readings to avoid outflowing upper limit in PCM
- aftermarket Boost, oil pressure gauges for closer monitoring
- Wideband O2 sensor
- Turbo Camshaft/valvesprings/timing chain upgrades to further improve performance
- 160 or 180 degF thermostat and thicker radiator (1" thick or more suggested, ~$100 thru RockAuto, or junkyard find on older W-body cars)
