i havent squeezed nitrous for 5 months now cuz my hose blew long time ago. it cant be that.how bout water in the oil?

dont see how that would happen unless you unscrewed the cap on your head and poured it in. nitrous doesnt tap into any oil lines as far as i know.

edit: does it smell bad? ive experienced nitrous being purged at an outside show...god that stuff stank sooo bad

just because you dont have a waranty doesnt mean a dealer wont even look at your car, hell they've gotta love it if you void your waranty, more money for them ANYWAYS, they'll still AT LEAST look at your car and give you some kind of diagnosis better than most of us can

If it is really causeing a problem, take off the headers and everything and take it back to the dealer, I would take out the nitrous at a minimum if you take it to them.

you said you were wasing your car....did you happen to pop the hood and spray it off?? if so, and if you engine was hot, then you may of cracked a head or head gasket, leading to oil leakage and thus the smoke....

pray this isnt the problem...but $$$$ for a new head!

Definitely sounds like a cracked head or blown gasket to me. The white smoke would be coolant. Good luck.

awww son of a.....ok. i guess ill take my NOS bottle out and stuff. i have the hp header custom fitted w/ a custom downpipe so i cant put that stock catalytic converter on and i also ditched the other cat on the bottom too. i dunno what honda will say bout not having cats. but ok. thanks for your guys' help

try this first before you take it to the dealer,put back your catalytic converter and see if it goes away.i noticed mine doing that when i took mine out.

White smoke = coolant getting into the combustion chamber.....probably blown head gasket.
