[JDM_Teg]

nearly ALL the gsr's i've seen blow some black smoke when vtec engages. so yes, i guess you can say it is normal.

i have a gsr and it doesn't blow black smoke, but if any car is blowing black smoke v tec or not i think something has to be wrong with it that is just my opinion

 

[kantstandlam]

change your oil and filter?

 

[Integraguy04]

some of my friends motors burn oil when they hit vtec

ummm... no the only engines that should be blowing black smoke are diesels

 

[heykosal]

ummm... no the only engines that should be blowing black smoke are OLDER diesels

fixed

anyways, it IS somewhat normal..I made a thread about this a while back and someone explained that in older VTEC engines it is completely normal due to the wear and tear already on the cylinders, rings..and such.

constanlty? What color is the smoke?

Just a puff though, just a puff. If your car is like spewing smoke while VTEC is engaged, I'd advise you to check it out.

my gsr sprays black smoke when im in vtec.....you should see my back bumper after i romp on the car for a while. but im pretty sure its rings when i bought the car from my friend he told me one cyl had a lil lower compression. than the others but i never did a compression test cause im building an ls/v. but im pretty positive its rings.

Every GSR i've seen in Vtec does

^^^ but it shouldn't be enough to paint your white bumper black.
