Icon2 Eliminate O2 sensors

Hi there

I hope someone helps me: i've a EE8 with a stock pw0. My O2 sensor 2 is damaged so I want to remove the o2 sensors because they're realy expensive


Doing it in ECU map i only have to disable them or should i do something else in ignition or fuel map?

Thanks a lot!

I guess I can do it anyway just disabling lambda sensors in ECU program.

I just want anyone to confirm that to make it more safe to me. Thanks a lot

well, i think it might really be easier to just change the O2 sensor...

They are not that expensive.....

Agreed, seems like alot more work to get them to not read then to just replace them.

NTK = NGK and they make pretty good O2 sensors.
Denso is also good and both of those companies make OEM sensors.
I've personally used Bosch sensors and never had a problem however they are said not to be as good as NTK or Denso.

Your engine isn't running the best it can. You have disabled the ability for the ECU to make changes to adjust fuel for best performance.
The "disable O2" setting is mainly for tuning so the ECU doesn't make changes between dyno runs. Drag cars might use the option as well since the ECU doesn't use the O2 in WOT.

Use Ben O's tuning software (BRE) and disable them if you are dead set on it. I haven't heard of ECU map. I believe you can set it in Open Loop and it will just pull data from tables.

BLU makes a good point, but his car was professionally tuned. I would guess the stock tables are as good as they can get though, so you shouldn't have any issue.
