well how many miles are on your motor? I know that with my non vtec d15b7 hits WOT i get smoke, and that is because my rings are bad....check the compression in each of your cylinders and go from there

funny..there was a thread about this same topic just yesterday. try searching for it, there is probably a lot of helpul responses already on that thread.

anyway, it's said that all VTEC motors make smoke when they crossover blah blah blah (although mine doesn't, for some reason).
but .. how much smoke are you talking about? it shouldn't be clouds, or anything like that.

and what color is it?

There is usually a little... the ecu dumps more fuel then, and it could be just the excess burning off... if its black or blue, thats not good.
