I drove my 1992 civic to moroso this past weekend and raced 5 times. I drove the car all the way back home ( 90 miles ) with no problems whatsoever. The next day i turn on the car and the oil pressure light is on. So i hook up a guage and i have no oil pressure. Immediately i took out the oil filter and cut it open to check for metal shavings and i didnt see any. So what can my problem be? The oil Pump???

The motor is a b16a2 with je 9to1 pistons, eagle rods, rev valvetrain, type r oil and water pump, acl bearings,ac block guard, stock cams. 57 trim master power turbo on 6 psi.

Also the engine has the right amount of oil. It has no leaks whatsoever and i replaced the oil pressure sending unit with a brand new one. Also i checked the wire and the wire to the oil sending unit is fine. The oil light is still on ater all of this.
Thanks,
mike

 

drain your oil and look for metal,

maybe a spun bearing

 

thats why i took apart the oil filter. there is no metal.

 

the funny thing is that the night before on my way home the oil light wasnt on but the next morning when i turned on the car the oil light turned on and stayed on.

 

Drop your pan and check for shavings. Also check your oil pickup screen.

Check your oil pump to see if the oil pump gear is cracked.

 

If you are not getting any oil pressure, you are not getting any oil in your oil filter, and then you would not have any metal in your oil filter.


Drain your pan, drop your pan, and take a look

 

Check your oil lines to the turbo, make sure you have plumbed everything and make sure your' not leaking any where

 

pump is taking a ****

 

i took out the pump i havent taken it apart yet. no metal shavings anywhere. i drained the pan( obviously) i checked the pickup and no shavings anywhere. Im going to take apart the oil pump tomorow morning and see if its cracked (hopefully it is). BTW it was a brand new type r oil pump. used for less than 500 miles on my current setup.

 

ttt

BTW, the Type R pump is the same pump that's used for all the OBDII Integras.

 

thats ok. my point is that it was a brand new oil pump when i installed it.

 

wow i just found out the problem, inside the oil pump there is a little piston well jammed with the piston was a piece of stainless steel wire (looks like wire) causing the piston to stay open always. meaning no oil pressure. Well im very happy it wasnt my bearings. im going to check them anyways. But they are brand new acl bearings that were plastic guaged.
