5th Gen VTI-R, Blowing loads of smoke

Just wondering what the issue could be its got 160,000kms, did an injector clean and fuel clean??? still the same though, at startup theres no smoke just when driving through gears at 3000 revs to 6000 it keeps dumping lopads of blackish white i think

ANY1 HAVE THE SME ISSUE?????

check your coolant to see if there's any air bubbles, are there any evident oil leaks in the engine bay?

theres no air bubbles in the coolant when i checked it, there aint any oil leaking either??

h22's have been known to do this, mine did.

when i got the car tuned however the tuner got rid of it, so yeah your just gonna have to put up with it there probably isnt anything wrong with your engine

mine blows a bit of smoke, not much but yeah...

Maybe the o2 sensors? burning too much fuel? Dunno....

Running heaps rich in vtec.
I havent seen a 5th gen VTiR that doesnt do it so far.

yeh few ppl have said this is jus normal... might get it tuned this week and see how it goes

this happens to mine as well, but the smoke kinda disappears when i just change the engine oil

If its excessive then perhaps your car was previously owned by james bond.
They may have installed a special smoke screen for when you gun it?

lol gamus

yeah mate preludes will do it, get it tuned and itl go away just real rich up top if u got black smoke. if its White you got coolant leaking in to the combustion process like they have said. Take it to a mech and get it checked if he says no mechanical issue then yeah you'll have to deal with it
