I was wondering if anyone has heard of this method of bypassing the secondary O2 sensor? Taking the wires from the secondary sensor and tapping into the primary sensor wire. I suppose the signals from the primary will be read by the computer as both. Sounds funny, but I saw something similar done on a '98 civic. Will this work, or more importantly will this work on a '00 R?

 

I know someone that makes the thing to get rid of the CEL for the 2nd O2 sensor.

contact me if your interested in buy it.

 

you could also upgrade to a hondata system and go odb1 and then have a way of tuning beyond what you could ever do now. My friends 96 honda itr has hodata, i/h/e and clutch/fly and engine mounts.....pretty tame set up....he runs a 13.02 in the 1/4 consistently. he will do NO internal mods until he get into the 12's.

 

thats a very optimistic number for an na itr
with just the basic bolt ons even with an EMS the ITR will barely dip into the high 13s
what kinda hp number is that R putting down at the wheels
my good buddy with a high boost JRSC and s200/p28 put down 236 whp and barely ran a 13.35 1/4

 

It's not optimistic it's a year and a half fact. He put down 185whp and 130 tourqe and weighed in the car with him out of it at 2040lbs. He did use slicks, 13 inch 22 tire size.

I have 185 and 135 in my car the last tuning and with street tires only did a 14.2, so with the slicks i exspect a 13.8 or 13.9, I aslo weight 2240 with me out of the car. (the 14.2 was with a bad clutch/fly plate, but I fixed that, and got new axles just in case.)

 

I tried one of the O2 sensor bypasses. It only bypassed the sensor oxygen signal, but no support on the heater signal. I still get CEL even with resistor in line with the heat wires. What I'm getting at is does the bypass you know of completely eliminate the need for the O2? Thanks. By the way the O2 simulator I used was from O2simulator.com.

 

what do you mean....as high as you can

 

I hope the guy who smogs your car refuses to do it if you complete this modification. The BAR could pull his license, take his picture with that big fat sign with the arrow and his ugly mug smiling.

 

I havent done my emissions in about 5 or 6 years i think! (or my inspections either.)

 

All that will do is throw a CEL 67 because it'll read the same signal and think the cat is bad.
