I searched and all signs pointed to Black R from 2007 through about 2009. It looks like he had a plug and play solution for an o2 simulator. I PM'd him a couple days ago but not sure if he's still active on the board. Google/Bing searches haven't provided a viable solution. Spark plug fouler won't work because I do not have a secondary bung on my exhaust.

Anyone have one that Black R made for sale or a better solution that doesn't cost $99 bucks.

Thanks

 

Hes still around I think, he was trying to sell me his wheels not that long ago.

 

need that solution too

 

Waiting for the replies....

 

Black R where are you!

 

still no news ? ?

 

cant you just drill and thread a piece in the exhaust pipe and and use a O2 simulator.

 

I used this. Payed about $99 for it and it worked, for about two weeks, but long enough to get me through inspection. I couldn't figure out how to tweake the simulator, it was kind of a piece of ****. But I'm sure they're are better one out there that actually work and don't get hot like the one I had.

 

I need a 2nd o2 sim as well

 

this way i used, i only had ut on for a couple of days, so dont know if it works that great or not.

Thanks for the research but I don't think this is any different than a spark plug fouler. I don't have a secondary bung on my setup

 

I would just put a bung in. I had the simulator, I made it using the plans posted many years ago that i think black r uses. Mine worked for 1 or 2 years. I now use a spark plug defouler.

 

Problem with the Spark plug defouler is that it sometimes puts the O2 out too far and it'll hit the chassis. Just depends upon the cat/testpipe that you're working with.

 

Here are the plans that used to be floating around years ago. I re-labeled the wires because the plans were for a different car originally.

This is what it looks like when made. Worked great until I plowed through a snow/ice drift and broke it. It was under the car wrapped in plastic, ziptied to something... forget now.
Pay no attention to the wire colors, those are extension wires from running a long tube header.

 

Sweeeet thank you!

Keep all posted as to how it goes.

 

Hello guys, by any chance do you know if this would work on a Honda Civic 2002 vtec? This trick shuts the CEL off for good? Does it work even if you remove the cat or install a non OEM cat? Thank you.

 

bought this one and worked fine. Not plug n play though. Have to do a bit of wiring, but it wasn't too bad

but mine was OBD2b so I had to translate the wires accordingly using
