Havard Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hi! Picked up my de-cat this week and I was planning to get my local garage to fit it. Should there only be one connector for the O2 sensor? The decat is to replace the 2nd cat. I take it the first O2 sensor is near the first de-cat? Also does anyone have any pics of the fitting where the O2 sensor goes and how it fits to the de cat. Mine is a bit rusty where the fitting goes and the hole looks blocked. I have never dealt with stuff like this before so I am worried that the garage might run into problems! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The O2 sensors are by the 1st one H. The one I bought had a hole to put something in (was off a TT), but it allowed a big nut to be screwed onto it as to cover it. Hope that helps mate. There is a guide somewhere of how to do the 02 sensors, where they are etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 If it's the 2nd decat as you say then there won't be any o2 sensors in it. They are both in the manifold on an NA... Has your 2nd decat pipe got a hole in it? ... As the hoff say's you'll have to blank it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 You'll also have a redundant cat temp sensor once you've fitted the pipe so you'll have to zip tie it up somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Job done in 10 mins H. With pics too. What a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I changed my 2nd decat over in minutes before meeting you at the second to last pancake run. Easy job if you can get under the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Ah right! There is a blank on the pipe that looks really like an O2 sensor connection! Thanks for that advise about the temp sensor as I wouldn't have known about that!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed my 2nd decat over in minutes before meeting you at the second to last pancake run. Easy job if you can get under the car. I realise it's a straight forwad job from the pipework point of view but I have a brand new £3000 drive, it's minus 37 degrees outside and I have two people I know that have garages with ramps. I bet they'll charge me a tenner to get it fitted. It just isn't worth the hassle!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mk47 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The hole in the pic is for the cat temp sensor which you'd lose when decatting anyways (if that hasnt been answered already ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 why the decat H? I want more noise!! My car has to be one of the quietest Supra's on the planet. With both cats in and 3 silencers we are not very loud!! Why do you ask Rob? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
