No apron under the airdam. I just removed the stock 280z airdam,grill and lights. Then installed the 240z airdam and wired the 240z parking lights. then I installed the 240z grill.

the picks were taken at night... Because of my job I have'nt had any time to take some good pics...But I will soon>... And no the valve cover is just regular high temp red spray paint...

I am sure its a T70 front with a T3 .63 in the rear... I know that I am @ 18psi by 3,500 rpm's in any gear , I dont fully uderstand what you mean by surge. I have an Idea but If iam @ 18psi of positive manifold pressure how is that surge?

Not the best pics but here they are..I'll try to get some in the day

sometimes injectors get stuck/clogged. I have a couple of shops here in south FL that cleans/rebuild's fuel injectors for $10 dollars each.. I dont know if you can find such a shop where you live... But I would check the basics first.. if you have'nt changed the spark plugs change them, make sure to gap them...check cap, rotor , fuel pressure...

Thanks for the good comments. It took alot of work to get where I am at now.. And all the work still ahead of me...I guess your never really done ahh?

I dont know if I posted it right Its a T70 front housing with a T3 .63 rear housing with a 38mm external waste gate.. It comes on hard and super strong from the bottom.. Here's a dyno sheet of this set up in my old car a 74 260z That I sold two years..The kid who bought it blew the head gasket and went with a v8 swap , so I bought everything back....lucky me... its a little small but here it is ..It dynoed 292hp and 331tq to the wheels AT 10PSI and it was a hot hummid day here in south Florida 88 deg and 90% hummidity I dont think you can read the number but look at the power and tq curve from the beging..from the moment I stabded it the tq was over 300 pounds..

Yeah it sucked to bang in the hump but there is no other way... once I welded the rails the pasenger seat went right in but the driver seat was a mission.... I'll post pics of the int when I get some time... and yeah I am down to meet with any fellow z peeps and show the car...I am in miami ,fl Just let me know....

Thanks to the help of everyone on this fourm my turbo 280z is done and running better I could have imagined...here are some before and after pics.... 8 months ago when I bought the car And now 04/28/09 Its been 8 months of non stop work but here it is ..Its was all worth it..First thing I took off the bumpers and intalled a front air dam with 240z lights then I did the suspention. Eibach springs tokico shocks, along witht the bump steer billet spacers. I changed the wheels and installed 16 inch enkie 92's. I installed smoked light cobers and 5% tints and removed rear louvers. Next I went to the interior installing 350z seats, floor mats, and hatch mat. New full dash cap , streering wheel,shift knob,doorlocks,pioneer cd player. and fixed a/c.Then I went for the engine swap.. I installed an 83 L28et and t5 with a hurst shifter. Engine has new berings rings, and oil pump, p90 head was sent to machine shop for valve job. Then put all back together with all new gaskets. T70/t3 turbo full 3in exhaust magnaflow muffler, n42 intake manifold ported ,240sx tb , racetep fuel rail,bosh pump new -6 fuel lines , 550 simons deka injectors ,front mounted intercoooler ,hks bov,Haltech fuel comp, msd 6al, custom 4 puck cutch,r200 rear end 3:54 final gears..lots of other mics parts This setup is good for a safe 350hp to the wheels and over 400tq .everything works.. all interior lights gauges wipers, everything even ice cold a/c...

If off by nothing... its less then a 1/8th of an inch...I am going to do what big phill did lets see what happens....with me luck...
