slight leak from cat what probs could it be causing...

[stigmundfreud]

... in the mean time? Its being repaired but just wondered if any issues could come from running the car with a slight leak from the rear of the cat?

I presume as it is on the exit side there shouldnt really be any major issue??

anyone?

I know, what you need, it's a "cat-a-lick-it converter"

If the O2 leak gets "seen" by the O2 sensors it will throw fueling out. Likely moreso at idle at higer rpm the increased exhaust pressure should keep the clean air out.

just waiting on some money from some work and I'll be going for the LC-1s and poss upgrade to tune.

I know there is a guide to install on the forum but in reality how easy was it. Sure I saw you send a mail a while back on what you did...

Yeah Smiler has done it as well. There are different approaches. I wired mine into the stock narrowband location.
So the one sensor provides narrow to the pcm as well as wide to the scan tool.
Fairly hidden install, just feed the sensor up into the shifter console and a couple of wires out the side for logging/scanning.
Main hassle is getting the old sensor out, the wiring isnt too bad if you have a multimeter and wiring diagram. Id say 2hrs to hook it all up. Or if you use the bung that comes with the lc-1 you can make a new hole and have the exhaust shop weld it on, then its even easier to wire in as you dont need to mess with the stock o2 or wiring.

so would be much easier to just stick it down from the cat and wire in from there?

makes sense to use 2 one on each bank??
