- Fri Mar 07, 2008 11:33 pm #45426 Hey guys, hope someone can help me out here. I just got my hands on a 92 4dr EX. Got the D16Z6 of course and I am getting alot of smoke out the back when the RPM's get up around 5k. Only when VTEC kicks in though. The car only has 150k miles but wasn't taken care of. If anyone could shed some light, that would be great. Thanks!
