Smoke smoke... what's wrong?

My car is burning oil like crazy. The thing is that during normal driving (low RPM's), there is no smoke coming out whatsoever but when it hits VTEC I can see a cloud of black/grey smoke. Is that a sign of bad oil rings or could it be anything else? I know it could be running too rich but it wouldn't burn oil in that case. Any help would be great. Thanks

Try a leak down test and a compression test. or is could be the type of ECU you are running.
