i have a civic hatch with b18c1, with vtec on a button. whenever i engaged vtec it seems like it wont go past 7 k rpms, and the engine smokes. it was a little low on oil so i added oil and it still does it. Any ideas?

Yeah my b16 does the same thing why is that
is it just the cam change to vtec or just the bigger lobes

so u saying that ur car wont go past 7000 rpm's? is that only when u open vtec manually ? does it happen when u dont open vtec at all?

Oil change maybe? Knew someone with a similar problem and it was because their oil was thin as water.

typical vtec honda valve guides are what make them smoke in the higher rpm's esp. vtec and take that **** off the button and wire it to the computer like it should be before you blow **** up

Slow00si

also when it was swapped did they wire in the knock sensor that can also cause a rev limiter are you throwing any codes?

its been running fine, then about 1 week ago, i noticed it felt like it was hesitating when i hit vtec. so i did an oil change. then when i drove it for a while then hit vtec there was alot of smoke that came from my hood and even a little in my car. wtf?

fast_gsr_civic

when im not in vtec it runs fine. no hesitation or smoke. i mean when it was running fine, there was a little puff of smoke from the muffler, but i figure that was from vtec. but now its from the engine. sorry im trying to explain the best i can, any ideas?

fast_gsr_civic

not sure on the knock sensor its running on a chipped p28.

you know what i could be? VTEC is hitting so hard, your getting mad HPz y0 and burning out without even noticing it. That would explain the smoke coming from under the hood and inside the car

your an idiot,lol

wow vtec on a button. If you have a CEL then the ECU is not switching to the correct fuel Xover. You looking to blow the motor up? looks like your on your way there. Buring oil usually means worn piston rings.
