Quick Question ...

Replacing the cat with a strait thru pipe ... Everyone is saying you need a eliminator from janspeed to stop your engine going into safe mode or sumthing like that.

But what i was wondering is what the hell is the second lambda sensor ? could you remove it or do something to it other than getting the eliminator. ??

oh and what is the eliminator ?? weblinks would be a massive help.

Cheers People.

id replace the standard cat with a sports cat, by janspeed, decatting may actually decreace performance, since its a n/a car it needs some back pressure. This will also keep warranty and mot, and you wont risk up to a £1000 fine

yeah but a sports cat costs £££ ive already got the strait thru pipe lol and itll only cost me a fiver to get it changed.

when i had it on last time it did feel a bit quicker but as i say i got an engine management fault and decided to take it off.

just wondering if you can sort of cap the second lambda sensor off... if you know what i mean.

dont think you can, you start messing about with sensors and youll be in deep water, best bet is to phone up janspeed and have a chat with them, the sensor is about £20 (pm z0m1) hell tell you more he had to fit one.. i didnt \/ :mrsmiley:

 

[z0mv1]

its z0mv1,hop me ol'muker :lol:

 

[Monkey Magic]

howay then z0mv1 explain ... what the fucks the eliminator ?

how do ya fit it n wat does it doooo

 

[Monkey Magic]

so what does the eliminator do ?? and where do you fit it etc...

 

[jonofcrewe]

the second lamba sensor is just a secondry oxy sensor, it checks wether the first readings are still in the manufactureers limits etc, also the MIL eliminator as its called( Malufunction Indication Light, (on the dash)) is just two resistor thingys wiried to the lamba sensor that sends back a signal to the ecu, telling it that it is in the manufacturers limits.

 

[Monkey Magic]

eh ??

so when the light comes on does it actually go into safe mode and restrict the performance or is it just letting you know summit is wrong ????

you well confused me there like


I need to know wether i can unplug or cap off the second sensor ... As its proving dificult getting a fuckin eliminator.

what benifits do you get from a de cat pipe???

what benifits do you get from a de cat pipe???

On a turbo it reduces back pressure so it improves performace on NA im not shure wont be any gains like on a turbo car thou tbh.

hey up all . ive decatted mine and also removed the centre silencer. i had the engine management light on but found a solution to keep it off . im me to find out how and i will reply with details.

Eye good thinkin about the 2nd lambada sensor ... ill have to try it.

How did you change the center silencer ... just another bit of strait pipe welded in place ?

Why not just post it up?

It's up on MG-Rover.org on how to create the emulator.

 

[Monkey Magic]

is were abouts ??? post a link pleeeeease !!!!

 

[Hob]

Stu is an admin on mg-rover

and kakatie appears to be a frequent poster

 

[XPOWER-ROBBO]

yeh just removed silencer from section and welded peice of pipe in .

 

[Monkey Magic]

some give me a link to the lambda thing on mg rover org pleeeeeeeeeessseeee

 

[daviebhoy]

Hpw do you disconnect the pre xat lambada sensor as im changing the exhaust an cant get it off for tje life of me rusted on so was thinkong id I can disconect from the otjer end then I could remove it from tje exhaust when its off tje car rather than hanging bu the wire . Tje wire seems to be about a foot lomg an goes into a orange rubber seal how do you remove it any ideas
