I wrote about this many months ago but I thought I got it fixed by changing fuel stations. I thought wrong. So my Accord is now remapped to Stage 1, it started smoking before I remapped it, after the remap it just got worse. I feel like its running super fine with plenty of power since 1500rpm all the way till 4000rpm but smokes unbearably. Those are the symptoms:
- if I climb a hill for example, at constant speed of 40km/h lets say, driving on 2000rpm on second gear, there is enough smoke that I can see it in the rearview mirror
- if I floor the car there will be a HUUUGE black cloud behind me, making me ashamed to overtake sometimes knowing people can't even see after me
- if I go down the hill and pop a lower gear, like 2nd on 60km/h, the engine will go to 3000rpm and I will see smoke going out of the car in the rearview mirror though it should not consume any fuel while using the engine as a brake, right?
- if the car is colder, I think it smokes less (though I dont press it hard at all while cold), when it gets to normal temperature it seems to be smoking more
- it burns around 1L of oil per 10 000km and the oil consumption seems to be growing (year ago it was under 0.5L per 10k)
- if I floor it several times in a row it decreases smoking for some time - like it has cleaned the garbage out of the system, but still smokes under load (which might be normal part of the remap)
The car has about 250 000km on it, regularly serviced for the past 80 000km since I got it with original 0W30 oil and genuine oil and fuel filters - in the beginning it was not smoking at all! At the Honda Service where I've been taking care of it they said the injectors are fine and the turbo seems fine. They probably did not understand what I mean by "SMOKES A LOT" and thought its normal for a remapped car.
I have the intention to go back there and make them check every possible component that can cause this smoking and slight oil burning. I consider changing the turbo core with something like this:

I don't know if they are any good. Maybe it could it be selenoid valves or MAF sensor? Any ideas will go on a list that the service will have to go through...
I can also remove the map and do some tests...
Thank you a lot!!!
