Default Do any of you drive without factory O2 sensor??

If you do, do you still manage good mpg?? Lets say if you installed wideband with hondata, do you need to retain factory O2 sensor? Can someone explain on how that works?

I keep my Innovate LC-1 in place of the primary factory sensor, open-loop mode on crome. Getting 19 mpg in the city with lots of boosting.

I use just the PLX 250 wideband, no stock sensor with Hondata open loop.

Basically you can either run closed loop which uses o2 sensor info to adjust A/F mixture within some tolerance, OR run open loop where the ECU rely's on your fuel maps set by you or your tuner to get the right A/F mixture.
