Smoking in Vtec
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2016 4:42 pm
Dudes,
Recently I have been noticing that when engaging vtec my car seems to throw out a white/light grey smoke from the exhaust. It normally happens on the first engagement but if I stay in vtec for a few gears it normally clears.
If I use vtec say every day for a week it seems fine, but if I don't engage vtec for a week it pops back when I do use it.
Is this normal for a Vtec engine. Ive read various things where some people say it is and others say it isn't. Bear in mind my car is approaching 180k miles. I don't seem to have any power loss, I just want to make sure theres nothing wrong with the car.

dont forget when you hit vtec the airflow through the engine increases so any dust soot loose in the exhaust is going to be carried out
