Civic EG

I have a 94 civic with the 1.6 v-tec motor. Im probably sounding stupid right now but im no positive but here it goes. I just bought the car about 4 days ago and just drove it around like a granny. So today I decided to start driving it kinda hard getting up to five grand or so. Well about ten to twenty seconds after being up at those high rpms a nasty kinda like a (burnt rubber/oil/exhaust/I have no clue what it smells like) smell comes into the cab. The car runs perfect and no check engine lights are on. Ive had a few people tell me that its just a honda thing. but i just wanna know for sure. Thanks

you probably burning oil. have you noticed if smoke comes out the exhasut when you reach high rpms?

seems like pretty much all the D and B series motors with vtec burn some oil in high rpms.

I'm pretty sure it's completely normal. someone who knows for sure will chime in..

could be oil or burning carbon out of your engine too.
A lot of times I'll smell the distinctive honda smell when I'm behind one at high rim.

it's kind of a clutchy burnt smell coming from the engine.
