Default Smoke?

I really can't tell if it is grey or white smoke but when I hit Vtec it smokes but any other time its very minimal. I don't know whats up?

Could It Possibly be Fuel? Burning way too rich or what?

Could be unburnt fuel, clogged air filter, bad spark plugs, warped head gasket, to bad, worn out oil/piston rings.

Mine smokes WHITE really bad around 6-8000 rpm. I've replaced plugs, used Restore engine treatment, and other minor things that might fix the problem... still smokes... probably my oil rings.

white smoke= coolant/water
blue smoke= oil
black= to rich

Yeah, I am completely overhauling the engine in JULY so For now unless it gets worse I will just keep it as is... Its not bad my friends s2k has the same issue and so does my friends k20 so I will hold out until I have the money in July to overhaul.

Thanks for the replies much appreciated.
