im trying to buy a coupe with an sr20det red top and i notice that the BOV spits a lil oil wen stepping on it. the guy told me that the motor does not have the oil catch can he said he will install it for me but he has being driving it like that and the motor runs smooth. i would like to know if im going to have future problems with the turbo the intake or the BOV.... i will really appreciate your help i just dont want to buy something that would mess up in the future

The oil comes out of the BOV at WOT, or when he/you lets off and the BOV vents?

If the T that comes off of the valvecover is not routed back into the intake, and you have oil in your intake/BOV, then it is likely your turbo starting to go. This is not normal and not a good thing.If the T from your valvecover is going back to your intake, then it could (still) be your turbo or it could be blow-by being extacted from your crankcase and valvecover. Either your turbo is (still) starting to go or your rings are starting to give out. Either way, not a good thing.

It is all depends on just how much oil.

if the price is right i would say mabe get it. trust me man dont buy a car that has problems right from the start. even if you buy a car that was a swap with no problems something iwll happen. you cant really go to your local auto store and pic up what you need for a sr ether. just a freindly heads up.

Depends on how much oil, but blowby oil is very common with SR's.
