I will make a DYI with part numbers and wiring diagrams. I have a good idea of how I will make it start simulation and it should be a easy unit to make.

I like to run my car with no cat or air pump and get no error codes. Simulator cost $200 to purchase, I'm making one for less then $20 | | | 11-17-2008, 07:21 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Oceanside, CA Posts: 421 | For the afrter cat sensor are you ganna tap into the elctronic or just relocate the sensor? __________________ 2003 Z4 2.5i 2002 Ducati Monster S4 | | | 11-17-2008, 09:34 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | Quote: Originally Posted by lpcapital For the afrter cat sensor are you ganna tap into the elctronic or just relocate the sensor? | Relocated it 1.5 years ago. Never had a code since. Air pump is my only code and I removed it cause I needed the room for the meth system. I finished the unit for $12.45 and I'm testing it tomorrow morning when the car is nice and cold. If it works I already have a DIY written up with pictures ready to post. | | | 03-11-2009, 05:46 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 | yep..

BTW super nice soldering job on your board. You should start making these for people. You doing quality work...

If 5liter's are as good as JohnBoy says, I would be very interested in purchasing one from you! Do you think you might be making some to sell? I'd gladly pay a fair price plus shipping | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
