How many people will be interested in purchasing a Honda OBDII Catalytic O2 sensor simulator for your testpipe setup. It will be guaranteed to eliminate any kind of CEL light associated in installing a testpipe. Tentative prices are at $35-45. BTW, the simulator is for "off-road" use only.

 

guaranteed? for how long? i heard the coverter material in those things can burn out and they go bad.

 

It's not a converter it's an electronic device to simulate to the factory OBDII ECU that the catalytic converter is doing it's job even though you have a testpipe in place.

 

its nice to see a functional poll. kinda unlike the Almost Anything Goes board.

 

I have one, I paid 15 bucks...
I am about to see if it works tonight, I'll post the results...

stan

 

id be interested.....more details

 

yeah

 

If it is based on the 555 timer, I have one. I've had it for several months without the secondary o2 in place. Not one CEL relating to emissions since I've installed it. It is well worth the $35-45 for the increase a testpipe gives to boosted cars.

Mr. zip, could I employ you to help me with a project?

 

Me again

 

Nope, not my design. It's more complex than a 555 timer, I wouldn't build it if were as simple as a design as that. The O2 simulator I'm building will utilize a RISC microprocessor to determine the proper O2 voltage at all conditions using various vehicle OE sensor parameters and will simulate the exact O2 readings given off by the catalytic converter.

 

Sorry.....

 

Sorry but what do you mean by "off-road"?
what does it mean?

 

as in its illegal to use on the road. (no cat)

 

got you
thanx

 

$35 is to steep for what we are getting. I would pay max, $20

 

my reasons are in the thread i the ITR forum

 

I just welded on another bung onto my test pipe and screwed in the 2nd o2 sensor. Havent been throwing any codes yet. I heard just wrapped it up in foil in the cabin works just as well. Whats wrong w/ these solutions? One is free the other is nearly free. Something bad about them in the long run?

 

He must not know how Zip's creations work. Damn near anything this Genious comes up with is worth the asking price (a mere $30 bucks) and then some. I also don't know if you have had to deal with O2 sensor related CEL caused by the testpipes but I know that I would pay the money at the drop of a hat to get rid of my CEL caused by the testpipe.

 

I'm interested, more details please...

 

ahh...you lucky ****. I did the same thing, and it's been throwing a 65 ever since. Even with the aluminum foil inside the cabin trick, my CEL remains on.

Am I correct in saying that there is no power loss or diminished performance by having this CEL on for the 2nd o2 sensor? Getting rid of the light is mostly for annoyance purposes, right?

I might be interested in this device, but I'm not sure it would be worth the price just so I don't have a yellow light glaring at me...
