New s14 sr20det, few questions. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey everybody, i did a search but found nothing. I would really appreciate someone that can chime in and help me out.

I just bought a 1996 s14 with sr20det 77k miles, mostly stock (FMIC, exhaust).

I noticed there is oil spurting out of the oil dipstick tube. I see it on top of the hoods insulation and along the sides near the dipstick tube. I did notice the dipstick was slightly pulled out. Is this normal for sr20det's?

I know this isn't the first time due to old oil marks near the same areas. could this have happened just from it being open slightly? Or is oil not supposed to be puled up that much?

Or it might be coming out of the valve breather... Where does it originally route too? i would like to remove this filter and put the proper piping to go to the correct spot.

Also, is there a place in this forum where it shows DIY mods, or a step by step newbie guide to basic parts upgrades? (bigger maf, injectors etc..)

Max boost on stock sr20det before getting bigger injectors, ecu?
Would i need a z32 MAF to boost more than stock?
