280zx 2by2 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 do you mean O2 sensor? if you are dont do it unless your making a racecar with a set fuel pattern... but even then i think you might need it for airflow metering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Actually, disconnecting it will result in less gas mileage. Since the ECU has no input on how much gas to give the engine via the signal from the O2 sensor, it goes into open loop mode which is rich....

BSD Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 He is right, all it will do is make the car run richer, which is just going to waste gas... Why would you want to eliminate it?? With a good standalone system the O2 sensor is just going to help you out a Ton, not hurt you.. unless you are talking about eliminating the EGR system, which will not have a negative effect on your car.. just increase your throttle response some, maybe even make a better idle. ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vspec Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 i was just wondering because the guy i bought the car off of put a 2 1/2 inch down pipe on it and he didn't weld in a bung for the 02. so I'm running without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
