I'm blowing out white smoke on my hybrid??

what's up, I have a civic eg with 96 GSR motor, with a mugen spec chipped ecu and apex-i vtec controller. I also have a mugen header with a greddy power extrem exhaust. I've asked all my tech friends and they think that i'm pushing too much fuel in the engine but i lowered it down and it still blows out white smoke. there's no exhaust leaks. so i don't know what else it could be. Help me out and give me any diagnostics tips. thanks.

I've heard the MUGEN programs run extremely rich. Don't know man. What other mods do you have?

Black = Fuel
White = Moisture, radiator fluid?
Bluish = Oil

You are burning water/moisture.

Only if the head gasket is leaking and allowing water/coolant into the combustion chamber. But I agree with the general consensus, you're burning water/coolant. Good luck finding the problem, hope it turns out okay.
