The secondary o2 sensor will not work, the primary will of course. Convert to OBDI.

High flow cat for N/A.
Test pipe for turbo/nitrous.

That is what I thought, but I heard something conflicting today that made me second guess that. Yeah if you are turbo and have OBDII and can live with a CEL every now and again ( I have a CEL 63 right now) use that test pipe. It actually looks like that one doesnt even have an O2 bung on it

Convert to OBDI and you don't have to worry about a CEL. OBDI is sooooo much better anyways.

How are options for Hondata, chipping, and no secondary o2 sensors gay stuff?

That's a HUGE advantage over OBDII. All the extra emissions controls (i.e. secondary o2 sensor) makes OBDII TOTAL CRAP.

wow thanks for the input so far. two more things though:

1) what exactly are the negative effects of not connecting the 2nd O2 sensor? like will it break my car?

2) how do i convert to obd1? would installing one of these qualify as converting to OBD1?

sorry if that is a stupid question but i dont really know anything about the computer. if not then what do i do to convert and how much does it cost? ill do a search for it right now but incase anyone is bored feel free to comment. thanks.

ifyou weld a bung it will work, just cant gaurantee that you will get the best readings. would be a lot easier to just convert ot obd1

Well, I got a CEL when I took my cat out and still had OBDII.
