TheChancer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hey guys, New member/owner here I’m trying to get my UK spec TT through NCT (Ireland’s MOT) and I need a catalytic converter for the emissions test. Do the JDM cats work for a uk spec car? Or would anybody have a set of UK cats I could buy? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) A jap spec second cat will fit a uk spec, it'll also likely pass with just the one fitted, most do. Chances are slim you'd find a uk spec first cat, they're like hens teeth - i threw mine in the bin after i sold the car Edited June 16, 2020 by Marty (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Don't UK second CATs have a sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 They do, jap spec don't. There's no adverse effects to not having the sensor fitted. It is normally tied out the way when the car is bpu'd anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 It depends if you’re referring to the first or second cat. The first cat is different on the UK spec, it has a different bolt pattern. The second cat is the same, but as already mentioned above misses the 2nd O2 sensor. That said, the car should be able to pass the emissions test with only the second cat in.
