Default Dummy 02 Question

I am running horribly rich. ive burt out my 3rd o2 sensor in 6 months. everytime the o2 sensor goes bad i run 14's but if i use a fresh o2 sensor i run 13.6's. So my ? is would a Dummy o2 sensor help me or hurt me?

Why are you running rich, why not fix that problem ? And what do you mean a dummy 02 sensor ? I'm gonna say its gonna hurt you just by judging from the name.

If your running rich enough to kill your 02's (especially 3 of them) I say look into getting rid of the Mugen chip and going with another setup. I cant think of anything to tell you then to get it leaned out a bit or switch your setup.

Any links to this dummy 02 sensor, I still am gonna say it will not work just because I can't really imagine anything switching over the cross count like an 02 sensor does.

not trying to be an *** but get a different ecu and see if that works out.

mugen didn't design there ecu for gasmileage they designed it for very specific race engine setup.


your O2 sensor doens't really do much for you AF. only at certain points of throttle

get hondata or something

That's called fixing the symptom and not the problem, which is also known as "stupid."

Get a proper ECU.

that Mugen program isn't written for your application.. get hondata or go uberdata and tune to YOUR specs and modifications. Only then will you get reliability, performance, and decent gas mileage.
