Just put a b20 in my eg hatch and it is throwing white smoke.
Keeps turning off on my on every stop light.
Could it be that my rings are bad ???

Blown head gasket, bad rings/pistons, etc. - smoke can mean a lot of different things, and none of the possibilities are good ones.
Compression test?
Cooling system pressure test?
Have you done anything other than drive it so far?

Re: (EJ1_Sleeper)
car is most likely shutting off cause of low compression or to much water in your cyl. I am going to say you need a head gasket also. Take off your rad cap and start the car...if water bubbles alot or gushes out your head gasket is bad that is the easy way to check if it does not bubble alot right away let the engine warm up so the t-stat opens up

Re: (EJ1_Sleeper)
pull out your dip stick and if the oil is a milk chocolate color than your oil and coolant are mixing. then you need a head gasket.
or if your exhaust smells sweet like radiator fluid you need a head gasket.

Wow, 6 year old thread bump. Don't do that. Ever. Ever ever. There's no reason for it.
If you have oil and coolant mixing, either you have SERIOUSLY mixed up lines, or you have a blown head gasket.
