Someone please help!
1992 integra b18a1 turned into oval track racecar. open exhaust and light flywheel. ok here is what is going on......i go out on the track for practice and make 10 warm up laps at half throttle to get tires warmed up and the car runs fine. once i really started to turn it up this happens every 2-4 laps.......all of a sudden i loose all power and the car will not tach over 4 grand...i can hit the gas pedal all i want but it spuders out at 4 grand. BUT.....as soon as i push the clutch in and the rpms drop to a idle i am fine to go for another 2-4 laps. so within 30 feet i can be running fine again but that wont work in a race. i thought it was the fuel pump so i put a fuel cell and in line pump in but still does the same thing. ive changed computer and relays. my 1st race is friday night! i need help!
How is your fuel pressure when on the track? Going around turns you may be starving the oil pump and getting oil starvation.
Are you able to data log while on the track with an o2 sensor to figure out if your going lean, or rich(missing spark).

i bought this car for 500 bucks at a junkyard and im kinda new to this honda stuff. i have no idea what the fuel pressure is on the track. and i dont know what u mean by data log. as far as starving for oil that wouldnt surprise me since the whole motor is covered in oil from leaks. there is a couple other integras in the class and they dont have a problem like this. the oil is mostly coming from the valve cover gasket. is there anything i can do to help this. i run 20w50.....maybe add a extra half quart? i know fixing the gasket is a good start!
Figure out exactly where your leaks are coming from. Use some brake clean to get rid of the river of oil so you can tell where new leaks have started. I would start by buying a new valve cover gasket and putting permatex at the hard corners to make sure it seals.
If your running an aftermarket ecu such as hondata you can hook your laptop up to it and it records your info as you drive the vehicle. If you have a wideband o2 sensor it can even show a/f ratio.
