why is my EG smoking!

[zakkkaliscious]

there is a thick dark grey smoke coming out of my exhaust all the time. any one know what is causing this? the engine runs fine other than the smoke and an occasional series of backfiring. i have an intake and spoon racing N1 on the mini me.

rings or valve seals

sounds like rings though since its full time and not just abouve 3-4k

[zakkkaliscious]

its definatly worse over 3- 4k
how much would this cost to fix?

cheap just labor intensive...what motor is it? may be better off just getting a swap

[zakkkaliscious]

the d15 i dont want to swap cuz im gonna bore it to a d19 and turbo it.

[2.0civic]

lol you wont get a 1.9 out of a d series....1.7 MAYBE but not 1.9...

bored d15-d19 turbo'd=cracked sleeve...maybe cracked sleeve w/o turbo.

[zakkkaliscious]

like how much would rings cost? and how hard is it?

[zakkkaliscious]

hahahah i knew it was possible!

[2.0civic]

thing is if your doing rings, you need to make sure you still have crosshatch left and if not, you need to get a hone done...you can do rings yourself im sure but its not expensive, just need the tools and a weekend when you arent doing shit

[zakkkaliscious]

ohh thats straight i know a mechanic so i can use his tools

[2.0civic]

yeah man. rings are cheap so make sure you get oem ones....how longs it been smoking?

[zakkkaliscious]

[2.0civic]

oh damn lol...hmm..

[zakkkaliscious]
