Right, JCR say that no remapping is needed for their header/pipe kit. I'm checking with my insurers to see if it's okay...

Interesting. Let us know what they say smile

Did JCR say whether you'll get engine warning lights showing if you do the mod?

No lights according to JCR. Let's see.

I've found trying to mod a Porker is much harder than other marks as the dealers always try and add zeros to the bill unecessarily smile

If it was me, and I was going for that mod, I'd want assurance of a refund if I got CEL lights showing. We've discussed it here on PH previously in your thread ( https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...) and there are ways of tricking the system to a certain extent, but I'd be very surprised if they've managed to do it.

Happy to stand corrected though from someone who has the kit fitted!

Good point. Would be a real pain spending all the cash and getting issues later.

Where is the OPF sensor on EU cars? as I haven't seen anyone show where this is connected on the Over axle pipe or after the OPF filter.
The only sensors i have see so far are on at the header - before and after the cat.
So is it a differentiation pressure loop system? in which case - this can probably also be solved with stand-offs.... Cargraphic appear to have done this with their high-flow OPF system. No software required.

It's hard to tell, but they're listed in this pic. You can see the versions with sensors seem to have more "stuff" on the OPF cannisters:

On the first 2 options - (Flow Optimised OPF) and (Empty Can with Sensors), Cargraphic have got sensor taps on the OPF Cannister itself.




In the case of the Empty Can with Sensors - Cargraphic state you need software... as there is no filter element.

What does OEM have? maybe one of you guys can have a look under your cars.

Someone in the US took to making their own version...by scrapping out the filter element!

Nice one. Is that a solid (metal) line?

Yup, I guess because of the heat around that area?

I more meant, is it more like a pitot tube.... for measuring gas speed/pressure, and also soot level probing.... which it looks like it is.

You'll know more than me - I'm not an engineer or mechanic! I just drive the things...

I'm quite surprised that my insurance company have allowed me to fit the JCR pack if I went that route.

What do you guys think of the Cargraphic performance opf pipe?

Everything has a price matey wink Personally I'd only change the back box until the warranty is up, and wait until there is more data on the reliability of these 4.0 units.

But I am just a cynical so and so.

Me too - rear silencer only for me unless it's a track-only car.

It would be interesting to know if it will pass an MOT test, I'm unsure what the testing requirements are for an OPF car. I think for diesels any removal/modification to DPFs is an MOT fail.

I doubt they can test for it, yet. I don't think getting an MOT for a car with OPF's removed will be an issue, plenty of "friendly" MOT testers out there. Morally, is it the same as removing the cats? I don't know, probably not?

It would have to be seen as morally wrong, surely?

Won't someone think of the children?????????!!

It's a grey area for me, where do you draw the line? Anyone using petrol is ultimately killing the planet, but so are these electric cars with all the rare earth mining, clearly the only solution is eco-communism and mandatory bicycles delivered as part of glorious commissars 5 year plan.. you disagree? Straight to gulag.

Sorry, seem to have wandered into NP&E.

Are those people buying older cars without OPFs literally killing children? With the standard cats they run relatively clean... I dunno. I just wish regulators would stop fussing with us.
