i got an sr20det swapped into a 93 fastback…it ran okay, but i needed a new fuel pump…when i went to drive the car it seemed like there weas loss of power, and when i popped the hood back pressure shot the dipstick up and there was oil sprayed everywhere by the turbo…anyone know what could have gone wrong? ---

make sure your pcv valve is working as it should…its located at the back right corner of the valve cover you’ll see a rubber hose connected to it. If thats fine then in most cases its caused by excessive blow by. Do a compression test on the motor and post up your results. ---

I put a tad too much oil and had the same issue. From what i was told the excess amount of oil spashing around and less air caused too much pressure therefor blowing the dipstick off enought that oil can squirt out. A companys makes an aftermarket dipstick for this problem Varun was telling me. I dont see it being a major issue. ---

why would there be such a loss of power though…if it were the pcv lines…would that cause power loss??? and would it cause back pressure? ---

you blew the motor pat yourself on hte back for getting on it without a walbro and blowing a ringland. this is a perfect example of why you never ever ever do an sr20 swap without a good fuel pump. part out this motor, buy a new one and try to break even. you can sell injectors, turbo, sensors, coilpacks etc.
