Title: 3.2 catalytic converter delete
Post by: C20det on 27 May 2015, 00:54:24: I Would like to remove the pre & main cats from my 3.2 to help it breathe some more tho I fear this will give me some eml light problems is there anyway around it without buying the likes of sports cats so the 02 sensors don't start giving hassle, as I am already getting abit of bother with the sensors at the min I have airway relocated the sensor to after the main cat but still no joy or could I just fit them to the new decat pipes ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

The cats aren't the most restrictive part of the engine, so very much doubt that you'll gain anything beyond an Mot failure ::)

Also without any viable lambda info, the ecu will probably have a hissy fit too.

Post by: C20det on 28 May 2015, 01:44:51: Any ideas on getting the eml light to stop from coming on every 80mile or so keeps saying

02 sensor circuit malfunction (bank 1 sensor 1) Present

02 sensor circuit slow response (intermittent)

Fuel trim malfunction (bank 1) Present

And the usual 0430 but I'm thinking maybe if I relocat bank 2 sensor 2 to after the cat same as I don't for bank 1 should it sort that?
