I Had recently done an oil change on my integra, b20 swap and after driving it for about 5 minutes the oil pressure just all together dropepd out to 0 psi. When i would touch the throttle it would bump it up to ~20psi under WOT the oil pressure is @ 25-30 psi!
Upon cold start, the gauge reads 25psi.
I am lost for this motor is nearly brand new I have had it for ~12 months and have never had a single problem with it, It has only 40,000 miles on it.
any ideas suggestions or other tests I could do would be more than appreciated.

 

Have you verified with the dip stick you put enough oil in it? Drop the oil pan. Look in the pickup tube to see if it's clogged and look for any shavings. Dont drive the car

 

repeat do not drive the car im cringing hearing that you know the oil pres at WOT your oil pump mite have **** the bed or you pic up vibrated off or gasket failed many dif problems but dont even turn it on bearings disapear fast trust me from experience

 

not what i wanted to hear. I know there is enough Brand new oil in it...
Could the filter be at fault here in any way? I purchased a OEM honda filter to rid my self of the fram...
I wish there was an easy test to figure out wtf is going on...
Could the oil feed lines be a possible cause either? maybe the restrictor (screen type) in my feed line is clogged (my gauge is tee'd off of the feedline) IDK im jsut trying to think of the easiest **** first... I was gunna take her to a show on sunday. scratch that idea... thanks guys if there is anyother possibilitys or input u may have left out you dont kno how much id appreciate it. adain thanks

Well. If you are not working this weekend or taking the kid's to Chuck E Cheese, I joke, start working on the car. Drop the oil pan. Take off the feed line. Do everything you need todo. You will figure it out

 

Im really hoping its something simple like a.... Oil filter.
Idk im kinda scared to find out what it really is. Ive had soooo much **** go wrong in the past 2 days I dont even want to look at my car its th eleast of my problems .
but i will be doing the easy **** first, and hoping thats what solves the problems...

Don't just replace the oil filter and start it. Go through everything to rule things out. If that's the true oil pressure you will end up hurting the engine

 

check uyr oil..
i know when i leaking oil i saw 0-5psi!
and 30 when driving under 3k
lucky i cought it fast and just parked it
i still had 85-90% of oil

 

got ya, Yea idk im gunna be working all weekend as well as week sooo Idk when i will have time but i will be sure to do as u say...
I just wish I could zero things out like feed lines, and such by hooking gauge into sending unit area, but than my turbo will get smoked... such a bad situation
if there is a "not properly sealing" area in the oil lies could this be a cause of failure? cause I did notice a small amount of oil saturation on the centersection of my turbo, as if it was spurting out litle by little...

from where were u leaking? a pressurized area... as in a feed line (external oil passage)
cause internally i know if for whatever reason a oilpassage is disturbed/ruptured the oil pressure will basically drop dead...

 

Also verify that the gauge has not crapped out on you.

 

i got a cheapo mechanical,
and a nice blox electrical

 

if the gauge is fine that means you need a new oil pump.

oil feed flange area

please explain this? the pressurised area RIGHT before entering the turbo?
cause liek i said i did notcie a bit of oil leakage around oil feed inlet on top of bearing center section... and this being directly spliced off of "sending unit" to gauge to turbo this could have a major effect (hope its it)

the flange wasnt seald good
so it leakd


dam it
im getting 0-5psi at idle now
wtf!

but 70/+ thorttle it gets 50+

 

o god, the virus is spreading honda by honda

 

lol
my guage is fucked
radio on&gt;0psi
radio off&gt;10psi

heh
i hope its the guage for you too!

 

One thing you might want to check out is air in the lines. I know it should read presure wether its oil pushing it or air, but when there's some air in my lines I get next to zero for oil pressure. After I run it a bit and I can't see air in the lines, I get typical pressure (60+ while cruising, 10-20 idle IIRC). Otherwise it is very slow to react, and I get very low pressure readings. It doesn't leak any oil, and has run 350 miles like this. Its next on my list to fix. After I had installed it, I had wondered if I had to bleed it like you would brake lines.

 

yea I really hope it is just air in the lines...
Im not really sure how the air would effect it in the first place/no leak down after the oil has been running through it... my oil pump only has 40K on it sooo its a crazy weird premature failure or a fluke tricky bullshit problem that should take 20 minutes to diagnos....
reall hope ur right.. when u get air in ur lines ususally how long does it take to evacuate?

 

Well if really doesnt' leave, it just compesses to a point, then it gives me fairly normal readings. The second I turn it off, I can look under the dash and see the air expanding into the line. All I know is I have no leaks & the oil level hasn't dropped. Tnly thing different is the oil manifold I made, it has a copper line (from stock sensor) to the brass block, then to the turbo, stock oil sender and oil pres. gauge. No teflon tape is blocking anything, so it has to be the air.

 

the FIRST thing you need to do is drop the oil pan.

 

thanks guys first thing i do is check for clogged oil feed line... than Ill drop the pan

 

changed the filter, and took off al the teflon tape off the oil lines and replaced it with honda-bond, sooo im going to have to wait about half a day to make sure its all dried before I drive it/test it out.
