I've been searching for a few hours now and I'm not sure on a garunteed best route for my problem, I'm not new to the honda game but I just picked up a 98 ITR and the car has a test pipe on it and Buddy club spec III cat-back, naturally its throwing a cel cause of the secondary o2 sensor, problem is I dont have the sensor anymore cause the previous owner just cut the wires and taped them back up so I'm wondering what my best route is here I know if I had the sensor I would just do the foil wrapper thing and try that but I dont have the sensor, so these are the options I've gathered so far wich would you do. . .

1. buy new secondary sensor and re-wire
2. buy jdm ITR ecu of same year (doesnt look for secondary o2 sensor clarify this please someone)
3. buy simulator from http://www.defconracing.com or something like that problem with this is the heater signal wont exsist I emailed defcon for clarification on this to see if I even need the sensor. . . no solid answer "I think it would fix your problem" :defcon. . .
so any help much appreciated. . .

Thanks

Buy an OBD2-1 harness, and chip a P28/P72 OBD1 ECU and get 'er tuned.

 

thanks for reply...

anyone else?

 

It depend on how much money you want to spend to cure your problem...

 

If you put an O2 on it it will still throw a code with the test pipe! You need a cat (functioning) to not throw a code.

I have a 98 Spec JDM ITR and there is NO second O2. So the cheapest BEST alternative IMO is ge a 96-98 JDM ITR ECU! Don't run a chipped ecu!

 

I took the cat off my car and got a CE light. Got a o2 sim from kteller.com and its been working fine for the past 400 miles.

Instructions say you can remove the o2 sensor if you want, just have to wire a 1k resistor across two wires if you want to remove it. Took about 5 minutes to install.

After tuning I'm getting better gas mileage, and have more power. I don't see anything wrong with that...

If you want to run Hondata/Uberdata/Crome/Neptune, or any other tuning software, you must have a chipped ECU.

 

awesome thanks for the input guys. . . I think I'm gonna run the JDM ECU. . .

 

get new o2 sensor and do the foil wrap trick

I very well realize this! However 80% of Honda owners associate a "chipped ecu" as being a P28 chipped to run a DOHC, or a "Mugen" or "Spoon" chip, and it is chip from some f*ck *** from ebay that has no clue that Honda is from Japan and drives a camaro! Yes there are a few and I mean few people that can "chip" an ecu correctly (like Jason "Katman" Kaplan).

NO ONE can tune a P28 to work exactly like a P73 like Honda can!!!!!

 

is there any affordable way to remove the speed limiter in the JDM P73?
