does anyone make a o2 simulator for 07 honda fit? it has a four wire plug which i believe is a heated sensor. thanks

 

bs

 

ok, i'm not trying to plug the hole in the cat. i need to satisfy the ecm that the hollowed out converter is working properly. a o2 simutalor is a device you plug into the o2 harness IN REPLACEMENT of the original o2 sensor so that the ecm doesn't get a fault code. i need something that work 100% of the time. i'm funny like that.

N1 concepts was a bust! keep getting a revolving answering machine that tells me to call their new nunber, you call it and get another machine telling you to call their old number. their web site doesn't list any o2 simulators either. deadend

 

why do you need one so badly?

 

yeah i know our answering machines are crap right now hahaha, sorry we dont carry o2 simulatiors though. we are closed for the last week for new years. try calling up monday or emailing us.

 

Why would you hollow out the cat on a brand new car?

Not quite. The non-fouler keeps the O2 sensor out of the exhaust stream, and is often able to fool the sensor into thinking the cat is functioning properly.

No one said anything about plugging the hole. The non-fouler is just a mechanical method that some people have used to fool the O2 sensor.

I assume you didn't consider searching Google before posting, since if you had, you'd have found a bunch of web sites selling various O2 simulators.

Because it unleashes the massive VTEC power bottled up within the mighty 1.5 litre L-series, of course.

 

Here's where I got mine. Been on my car for the past 5 years without a problem. Not entirely sure if they have an application for a Fit but it might work. Find an OEM connector and you can just plug it into the 02 sensor harness instead of cutting and splicing.

Not so much, It can stop a check engine light from poping up sometimes too. Worth spending the 2 bucks on.

 

02 Sims have stop production because the EPA was on their *** because people were using them on Street vehicles with test pipes. Get the fouler. hollowed cat

 

ok i found a site that had them. i understand the whole spark plug fouler method just want something that works 100%. the cat chokes a engine. backpressure i can do without plus you gain 500 rpm more throttle hollowing the cat. looking to turbo the car and run high test.high test burns slower and leaves alot of carbon. that carbon clogs the cat. i live in a highly emissions controlled area and removing the cat completely is not a option. thanks for the info.

If you are going turbo it would make much more sense to run a full 2.5-3" exhaust and use a high flow cat.

Where did you hear running "hi-test" leaves more carbon?? I have been using 93 octane in my cars for 15 yrs and never had a problem with a clogged cat.

 

its common knowledge that higher octane burns slower leaving carbon deposits. as far as YOU not having problems with carbon, depends on where you live and what additives have been mixed with the gasoline to meet epa requirements in your state. midwest states have less restrictions on emissions than a highly populated suburb. i have two turbocharged vehicles. one has no problem with carbon the other (2007 masdaspeed3) produces so much carbon i have to wash the rear bumper once a week from the built up. i also have a non turbocharged vehicle that only the driver side cat had clogged. go figure! and that car is tuned perfectly i can assure you. many dealerships in this area offer carbon flushes to remove carbon deposits from egr systems, valves, and cats. high flow cats work fine but they still choke the motor. in order for cats to work they are designed to slow the exhaust down in order to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. It converts the hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. It also converts the nitrogen oxides back into nitrogen and oxygen. even high flow converters choke to a point. but hey, if your's works just fine, stick to what works for you.

If you use the correct octane for the vehicle then you should get a complete burn.
Do you have any REAL proof of it leaving excessive carbon?

 

here is a link to a write up i pieced together on another forum on how to do it.......
