How many members will be interested in purchasing an electronic Honda OBDII Catalytic O2 sensor simulator for your testpipe setup. It will be guaranteed to eliminate any kind of CEL light associated in installing a testpipe. Tentative prices are at $35-45. BTW, the simulator is for "off-road" use only.

 

Sounds interesting Zip...

i am certainly down for it, i am currently running a godspeed testpipe unit, which has gave me a code 67 after 2 months/2000miles of use....they said it could possibly be a damaged/or moved o2 sensor

 

Testpipes are bad mmmkaay.
Encouraging people to use them is equally bad.
I want to breathe clean air 10 years from now.

 

FUGGIN POLLS

 

I'm using the poll to determine if it's worth the effort to make the simulators.

 

cel after a few weeks... godspeed test pipe

post up when you have these ready (will they plug in between the 2ndary o2 sensor plugs?

 

you do?!

 

negative for me. I'll stick to using a test pipe at the track for testing purposes. I hate the smell of exhasut when running sans cat. Besides the loss from a 3" cat compared to a test pipe isnt all that much

 

id like to check that out, cant really go wrong with 40 bucks...

 

I used the Godspped testpipe..never threw a CEL.

 

Then why do you own THREE pre smog-era Mustangs?! J/K.

 

All of my (Pre smog) mustangs have complete fully functional factory smog systems. Which doesn't include a cat!

 

I know an OBD2 secret... neener neener neeeee-neeerr!!

Did you know that even though OBD2 Integra's & Civic's throw a check engine light for that damn sensitive 2nd 02 sensor, that the ECU doesn't actually go into safe mode!? huh..bet you didnt know that!

This also applies to the knock sensor as well.

to the KS.

 

Dont mean to be rude, but man why pay 40 bucks when you can make it yourself for about 5.00! That is if you want to pay a fine if caught also, running a test pipe is bad! I agree clean air!

 

>>Did you know that even though OBD2 Integra's & Civic's throw a check engine light for that damn sensitive 2nd 02 sensor, that the ECU doesn't actually go into safe mode!?<<

I'm not sure if it's the dreaded "limp home mode", but my 98' Civic certainly goes into some sort of safe mode for incorrect rear O2 sensor readings. The instant the CEL comes on, there is a "hitch" in the rpm's. If I don't reset the ECU, I lose about 3-4 mpg, and suffer a noticeable (though not huge) loss of power throughout the rev band. This indicates to me that the mixture is a lot more rich than before.

 

Id be interested if you can beat the price of the CasperElectronics O2 simulator, they go for around 50 dollars from Summit Racing.
