Nasty smelling smoke coming out back end
Black smoke is running rich, burning oil. Happens to me and a lot of others in VTEC as well. Nasty smell could be your cat is shot. Smells rotten.
When you floor a car, you will usually get a puff of black or brown/tan smoke out the pipe (carbon and exhaust dust) and sometimes a rotten egg smell which comes from the initial switch to a richer fuel curve and some unburnt gas going into the catalytic converter.
I think just about every Honda does that when you get into VTEC. My car looks like it's putting out a smoke screen when full boost rolls on in first and second gear.
