The oil feed line was not original, it was a standard steel brake line and if it was a bluebird motor, why did it have a pulsar manifold and t28 turbo on it? It looked like a standard sr20de and the owner added a turbo kit to it.

Funny... I have a DET apart in my garge and my dumb ass didn't even bother to think about those points. Good eye...

Looks like a DE with a turbo kit to me. JDM or maybe another Asian market because of the highport intake manifold and internal coil distributor.

Just curious... how did you see there are no oil squirters? Did you pull the pans off?

Actually I saw the motor in person. The block is tapped for the oil return, but i guess it wasn't tapped good enough because there is a bunch of silicone around the fitting. He pulled the lower pan off and I checked cylinder # 1 and didn't see any oil squirters.
