Default b18 leaking oil

i got a b18 head with b20 block. anyone have the oil feed line on this motor leak? every time i rev the engine i get oil spitting out by the filter (where the bottom end of the oil feed line is). for about 30 seconds oil was pouring out like a faucet and the oil was muddy looking. like when u take the oil pan off. any suggestions for this type of leak?

also there is an LS throttle cable on this motor which is about 6-8 inches too long. very low idle and accelerator gets stuck from the cable drag i guess. any suggestions? oh i forgot, im not sure which ecu to use for this i know its an obd1 but any certain one? whats the point of vtec if the car wasnt factory programmed for it.

any help will be appreciated
