help my z just quits

ok i know that i haven't been on zdriver in a few months, but i need some help! i just bought a 82 280zx with a turbo (motors an 83 motor p90a). the car is running on the 82 n/a set up and runs great when the car is cold but after driving it for more then twenty minutes the car dies. i can turn the car off and restart it back up and it will run for a minute then die. i have checked all the battery, alternater and relay wiring along with using differnt relays and put a new coil in . o ya and the car will only heat up to about 145 to 160. any ideas any one?

check the fuel pressure, could be the pump is faulty. or its possible the module on the dizzy (if it has one) is screwed. mine did simmilar with the module problem.

Another thing to check is the AFM (make sure the screws are tight). If it leaks that can cause it to quit.
