oka, i went racing on a sunday afternoon, me against my cousin's brother-in-law. right behind me was my cousin. he watched us race and noticed a white cloud of smoke coming my exhaust. btw i just got on my new greddy exhaust on a saturday, and the race was the next day.. which is a sunday. since my cousin saw the white could of smoke coming from my exhaust... i just have to check to see if the inside of the exhaust was black.. and my new greddy exhaust was all covered in black stuff.. which i assumed i was oil burning.

Is it actually burning oil or does it just smell like oil?
White isnt oil.

White = coolant
Blueish-gray = oil
Black = fuel

Do you have a cat converter installed, or a test pipe?

Hondas like to burn oil when in vtec from what I have seen in the past.

How many miles are on the car? I would guess the piston rings, or the valve seals if you are not leaking oil.

How often do you top off the oil and how much oil are adding each time?

They deffiently do burn a little when you hit vtec, however for the most part you can hardly tell when checking. At least on all my friends cars you cant, but you can smell it.

i can smell it when i was running my open cat converter... now i'm running on a test pipe w/ greddy se.

right now i'm running on a test pipe w/ greddy se.

would having a chipped ecu with the revlimit over OEM stock setup make it worse for the engine?

Smelling it is normall, even more so with the test pipe.
id say it's fine.

are you serious?? yes the VALVE SEALS are these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=170431666191. its sad people can't do research anymore. and yes white is not oil. that would be coolant. how many miles are on the motor?

i dont know.. motor was from junk yard.. but has good compression.

define "chipped", does it have some sort of generic "MUGEN" program? If so then its probably running rich. If you can try to run a stock P28 and see how it does.

no not mugen, but crome
