Blown Seal?


Recommended Posts

hey guys i'm looking for a bit of advice on my sr20det (yes i know its not a skyline lol). it appears to have a lumpy idle which the previous owner says is due to the larger s13 throttle body and lack of adjustment of the tps when it was installed, but it is now throwing up oil all over the exhaust manifold and over the front turbo housing. The car still pulls pretty hard on 16psi but there is no oil on the rear housing or the block. i pulled the alloy cooler piping off both sides and there appears to be oil in the piping pre-cooler but post-cooler it is as clean as the day it was made?? also the dipstick doesn't seem to want to stay down completely. it doesn't feel like it secures itself inside the top of the tube and whenever i pop the hood to do a check, it's usually up about 1cm.

btw its running a catch can but isn't really getting any oil in it if that changes anything.

thanks in advance guys.
