Catalytic Converter Test Pipe

08-27-2003, 08:06 AM

Hi,
I am a driver of a S2000 in Belgium. Recently I have bought a header and the Catalytic Converter Test Pipe (00-02 S2000) of Comptech. The problem with that pipe is that the engine light continues burn. Is there anybody who has a solution for this problem?
In advance thanks for collaboration.
Johan.

you need a O2 sensor simulator, the light comes on because you unplugged that sensor, go to your local performance shop and ask for it.

i hollowed our my car and my light wont go off, my friend has a shop and he plugs that red computer thing into the ecu and it comes up as catylic converter error or something, you can turn off the check engine light but it will come back on after a few days, or hours. i have turned mine off like 3 times, i dont care anymore

Here is a mechanical solution, 100% reversible:

It involves using 'spark plug anti-foulers' to move the O2 sensor a bit out of the path of the exhaust gasses thus diluting the amount of unburned fuel seen by the O2 sensor.

Basically, all you're doing is buying two hollow bolts that thread onto the O2 sensor bung, drilling them out so the hole in the middle fits the O2 sensor, and using them as a spacer.

The thing to watch out for is that now the O2 sensor is about 5 cm further away from the test pipe. This is no problem if your O2 sensor is pointing up toward the bottom of the car. But, if you have a design where it's pointing to the ground, it might put the sensor too close to the ground and might hit if you go over a speed bump too fast...

Works like a charm. You'll have to disconnect your battery or reset the ECU in some other way to clear the error code for the CEL.
