Exhaust fitting help re: no hole for lambda sensor
Exhaust fitting help re: no hole for lambda sensor

09-09-2018, 02:32 AM #1As the title says, the garage informed me a few minutes ago that the centre section of the exhaust I got doesn't have a hole for the lambda sensor. So what does everyone else do? Get a threaded thingy welded in or use an O2 simulator or whatever it is?

Now Don't Forget The REP!!!
If its like the japspeed exhaust matey, most have the boss welded on, or might be worth giving Stav a shout as iirc he had some O2 sims for sale?? mine has the japspeed back box fitted to the oem centre section

I did ask if he could just put the back box on the OEM centre section for now but apparently they are different lengths or something.

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:
the car will run but will have an EML light on until you get it fixed AFAIK
i just piggy backed the wiring in the ecu box and took its reading from elsewhere but Stavs little box of tricks it a much better solution and very easy to install.

None of the other topics seem to give any reasons for why either one is a better option than the other though?
It's no hassle for me to get a threaded insert welded on, so is that the best solution?

its best solution if you dont plan on playing with decats and further toys having said that the box of tricks eliminates the sensor all together so it cant fail or give you an EML
Rabster its best solution if you dont plan on playing with decats and further toys having said that the box of tricks eliminates the sensor all together so it cant fail or give you an EML
Can I get a (brief) explanation of how this box of tricks work? I am now thinking I may need one! Though your wording suggests they are not good in conjunction with a decat?
Sounds interesting, but the idea is new to me today!

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:If you have removed the cat theres three options:
1) keep the standard sensor in the right place - this will eventually bring on the ECU light. It wont affect the car's performance, but also you wont be able to tell if another fault arrives as the lights aready lit.
2) use a spacer, bassically a thread spacer that pulls the sensor back so its not directly in the pipe, that way it see's less exhaust gas, thinks its seeing cleaner gas and will be happy. though may occasionally bring a light up.
3) buy my little box, wires into the cars ecu box, fools the ECU into thinking there is always clean gas and completely removes the problem even if you add extra things like a turbo, extra fuelling. it will always tell the ecu everything is A OK.
up to you really.

its the best solution to get the nut/insert welded on if you dont plan o upping your power decats etc
if you are planning other mods then this sensor may well have to be bypassed at a later date...
Sorry mate i dont think i made that clear lol
