Yes, it will work. I have it on my car. Works great. IDQcivic also has it and will tell you that it works.

cool

was it hard/complicated to install?

zetaR · 08-30-2002

I didn't do the install on mine because I didn't want to screw anything up. It took the shop that installed mine about 30 minutes. IDQ did the install on his, and he also said that it took him about 30 minutes. So, if you know what you're doing, it shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, let a professional do it.

hmm, wat kind of shop you take it to?

zetaR · 08-30-2002

The performance shop that I got most of my mods from.

poo.. the performance shop that i goto has a garage, but its for quality care. like oil changes n such.. maybe i'll call em up and ask if they'll do this stuff there

I posted a DIY in the forum a while back, its easy to hookup just 5 wires. YOu'll have to search the forum for the DIY.. Also I don't know why people keep thinking we have odbiii we have odbii, i dont think odbiii is even out yet....

This might seem, or is a dumb questions, but the O2 sim is only if you have a high flow cat or no cat??

yep. since i have no cat, the O2 sensor isnt working properly. so then its sendin a message to my ECU tellin it that i have no cat. thus leading to my fuel map goin nutty.

I didn't solder mine, just twisted the wires really good and taped it all up. I've never had any of my wires come loose and i've been twisting wires for years... Anywas, soldering isnt hard... If I had a cordless solder gun it would be easier to bring out to my car without running an extension cord. SOldering is kinda fun, just get a cheap solder gun and some solder and practice, just heat it up really good and let it bead up over the wires, it hardens almost instantly once it cools down. Later on....

my dad keeps a soldering thingy somewhere in this house. maybe i'll practice with some extra wires i got in my garage

IDQ, can you take pics of where the wires connect? no shops around here will do it, so i gatta do it myself.

IDQcivic · 08-30-2002

I don't know if I can take any pictures any time soon, kinda busy lately... anyways the wires arent that hard to find, if you can see colors than you can install it, just follow that DIY link that someone posted above, its that easy!
