[EK1-2NV]

hi i have a em1 with b16a2 now when i go fully sick vtec reh it blows alot of smoke i know it is ment to but because i have a full exhust system (apexi N1 Exhaust system) is that why it blows extra smoke thanks.

EDIT: its a whiteish smoke

black dark smoke is ur car running rich when vtakk hits not sure about white.. should get it looked at though.. white smoke is bad news.

[Phuong1987]

you can also reduce it by cleaning your engine out with some carbi cleaner, you see heaps of carbon build up come flying out of the exhaust. makes the car run abit smoother also

Isn't that just the carbi cleaner burning up and leaving behind black residue?

maybe my vtakk not working but when i hit vtakk my frieds go black smoke come outta my ass lol isnt it becoz when u hit vtec ur car automatically runs rich to make sure the engines not starved of petrol? =S

yeah it just smokes because the carby cleaner is being burned up plus fuel is still being injected.so its running really rich while the carby cleaner burns away

all vtec cares run alittle rich and blow abit of black smoke.

Its honda's way of making sure you don't detonate the engine.

White smoke is that all the time? WHite smoke is usually condensation if its in the morning otherwise you might be having other issues.
