turbo integra major power drop when hot!

[Jdmsol]

Sup ia I'm having a problem with my teg now when it gets hot, I've searched and can't find anything on this... here's my problem, when I first start it up and it gets to normal driving temp its a beast, but when I drive 30 mins or longer it heats up (but still norm on the gauge) and looses a lot of power over 3k rpms... like all of the torque dissapers and it stops pulling, the boost gauge still reads the same as it always does at 5lbs when I'm in boost,, What could be the problem? O and its a 96 stock ls motor.

Is it tuned?

flooding out, coil pack heating up or going bad. air filter needs replace.

dirtly ass air filter will do it sometimes drive it with no filter and see if diffrent. also is it tuned?

[Jdmsol]

Yes it is tuned and I haven't driven it without a filter but come to think of it my filter is dirty as hell...and sometimes after it gets real hot and I shut it off I have a hard time starting it back up, I have to press the gas while cranking to get it to start.

might be the filter bro

[Jdmsol]

Ill try it and see and lyk

[Jdmsol]

Ok that didn't solve the problem. Now if it gets hot and I let it idle for a couple mins and I start to drive it blows white smoke out the exhaust under low rpms and smells like oil or gas......

[big mac]

blown head gasket?
water in oil?

[Jdmsol]

Idk it goes away after I start driving and doesn't start back any...

[Go_Fast]

sounds like the headgasket. id check the valve cover

I got it, I changed the ignition coil runs much better. My drain line had a kink in it for some odd reason changed that out and clocked the center section to the right position and no more smoke...thanks for all the input!
