Default b18c smoke issue

Having a little problem. I have done a full b18c swap in a 93 ej. Bought full swap from hmotoronline and been very reliable. It is pretty much my track car and every other day I will drive it to work. My issue is when I take a hard turns on the track it smokes pretty bad. Running 275/35 Hoosier r6 so it has some serious grip in the corner. First noticed it at nccar in North Caroline. Taking the long sweeping turn, was going clockwise so it was a long left turn that sweeps almost 360°. I know its burning the oil cause after about 3 lap I'm about 1 to 1.5 quarts low and quites smoking. No leaks. Drove it to work for awhile to make valve seals or rings bad. Burns about a quart between oil changes 3000 miles. Doesn't smoke when I fire it up in the morning. Small puff of black smoke if I down shift and romp on it but no blue smoke. I'm am stumped. No oil in intake either where valve cover port connects to intake.
