Hello fellow fiddlers,
I know, the -decat headers=>enrich mixture- topic has been beaten to death by now but I just came across this product :
https://fueldongle.es/en/products/fuel-dongle-pp-20?rq=md_yamaha~mk_xtz-1200-super-tenere~xk_2011&fbclid=IwAR1mSVvpKVXPQY-7QiR5g9P7uNSBMnryU2FHtn05ET8mwaL-sjWb3Z5boF4
Well my question is: I want to swap the stock headers of my 1st gen -12 S10 to the decatted ones from Arrow, however I'd like to avoid going down the piggyback device route such as PCV, AT, PV3 etc.
Is there anyone who knows if I could get away with just the O2 sensor eliminator in order to skip running too lean and therefore end up having surging, hunting or backfiring at deccel after the swap?
If I get it right, the manufacturer claims that the eliminator will enrich the fuel in the st. mixture, as well as optimise the AFR by fooling basicaly the ECU to only use the default maps instead of relying upon the lamda sensors which inherently make the engine run lean in order to follow EU emissions. Something like the Booster plug or Rotweiller's fuel dongle for those who are familiar with KTM's.
I'm aware that this won't be an optimal solution as far as performance goes(such as dyno runs etc) but at least I would like to free up the motor, allow it to breath without making it a big deal. So, is it safe to put on the arrow headers and just eliminate the o2 sensors?
My current set up is , ECUnleashed II mapped for an Akrapovic muffler, K&N airfilter (1st gen -12)
Thanks in advance!
