Sloppyz Single Turbo Nitrous c6 z06
 

So after wanting to do something like this for a while I finally found the perfect car for it. Traded my 2012 grandsport for a broken 07 c6 z06. I came out ahead pretty good $ wise and it made sense. I figure I will document everything here. I have a dollar amount in mind that I would like the build to cost given the sloppy name so I am on the fence rather I should document everything I spend here may be interesting.

Here is some fun pictures of what a very expensive built motor looks like when "fixed" heads fail and drop a valve into the motor.

Here is our beautiful turbo that the nice guys at Bullseye set me up with. I have used them in the past and had very good results when testing vs pte and fp turbos.

More to come.

What are the power goals for this combo?

Good luck Louis, should be sick in the end, cant wait to see it

Nice!!! I've thought about trying to go a similar route. Looks like it'll be a cool build!

looking forward to this build. keep us updated.

What ever puts the car in the mid 140s trap speed wise is what I want to start with.

Can't wait I know it's going to be a long road. If this is who I think it is I still need that ride on bottle.

looking forward to this. been following sloppy aka matt for a while now. excited to see what a setup like this does in a proper chassis.

is that a 944 turbo?

It sure is a 944 turbo. The Porsche everyone hates haha.

I wouldn't skimp on the fueling but would like to see how this ends up.

Trading a '12 GS for an '07 C6Z w/a blown motor is commitment! In for the details...

seeing those broken parts is so hard to stomach LOL

Found a little time to work on the car tonight after recovering from a trip to Vegas.
Also found a decent way to work on the car during winter without having the doors open now that the 944 turbo is out of the way. I have maybe a couple more hours of tinkering and then the motor will be ready to pull. Honestly does not seem to bad to pull from the top. I know alot of people seem to swear by doing it from the bottom with a lift but not really a option here sadly.

I would have gone with the 96mm turbine personally. I'm assuming bullseye helped you spec it and they know more than me, but from what I've read and experiences first hand, you will max out the capabilities of that small turbine before you reach the max flow of the compressor. I guess it all depends on how much power you're looking to make. Assume it isn't anything crazy, in which case you will be fine.

Yeah I am friends with someone who used to work there in sales and he is the one that worked with them to get me what I needed. Also remember it was speced for a 5.3L not a larger motor like my backup 6.0 i will be having so that should help the turbine side a bit. I was told the turbo should be good for around 900 with a good setup (which i will not have lol). The plate kit will take care of any filler issues power wise.


Just paid for the 5.3 sb so new rings and it should be ready to go just need to wait on machine shop to get me my heads back. Im excited at the idea of an aluminum gen 4 5.3L should be a beast. I am thinking ill have around a grand into the entire longblock with fresh rings, new valve springs, new turbo cam, buying the sb and heads ect.

I have a btr Jam Cam with springs and pushrods for sale if you're interested.

Welp motor is out finally. Honestly pretty easy to pull from the top. More time consuming than difficult.

You plan to pull off the rail for nitrous?
