Looks good, I have a few questions though.
What is the clear plastic hose coming from your throttle body hooked to?.
Have you driven the car yet?.
Does the engine run ok with no hose at the valve cover port?.
Inquiring minds want to know. :o)

Jason!! that looks GREAT MAN!!!.. I bet you cannot wait to get it on the road!!. Really like the IC and pipeing. Let us know when you have it out and driving.
Dexter260Z.. the clear hose looks to me like it would be for a boost gauge.

That hose is connected to a boost gauge, i was attempting some tuning the other day and was to lazy to properly mount it.
I have driven it, runs quite well, however needs alot more adjusting.
I no longer have traction in first gear and second is not much better.
I have a valve cover breather to conect to the top and the balance tube will be connected to the catch can in the pics, along with a hose coming from the boot connecting the afm and turbo.

I like where you located the manual boost controller.
Is the Air filter located in the engine bay? Have you made an airbox or some sort of defelector to improve cold air onto it - I am thinking of doing something like that and could do with some ideas.
Looking good.
I didn't have a Clue??!!! Until I found Blue...

Very nice. I'd like to see more pics of the cold air intake setup. I'm routing my IC piping the same way, and couldn't find a spot to do mine in the front of the car without cutting.

There is no way to route your cold air on the other side of the rad support without cutting. I also had to dent in the inner fender to make room for the afm to sit right inside the engine bay behind the rad support.
240Z- I have a cold air intake i made, it is in the pics of the intercooler, and has a few of its own pics just scroll through them all.

A:
Yeah no thanks with the cutting and denting. I got standalone so I don't have to worry about the afm stuff. I kinda just pointed my intake at a 45 deg tilt to the ground next to the cross member.

Jason,
About the 5th picture down you have a picture of the brass boost controller. Looks like the Granger valve set up that so many of us have. I remember purchasing one from some guy about three years ago for my 86T. Installed it, with all the necessary modifications and forgot about it. In fact I forgot about it so well that I can't remember where the source was for it. I remember paying around $25 for it. Best $25 I ever spent. So who is supplying those and where did you get yours? Thanks and your car looks great!

I got it from boost controllers.com. I cant remeber which one it is on there, there are a few. Holds boost very well, no creeping, rock solid (as it advertises). =)
Thanks for the complimants!
