Ok that’s a response any kid should get bug eyed about. Lol. When you put this on the integra, did you have to make any modifications? Additionally, how does this affect the Cat? As it is still not functioning correctly, won’t the performance of the car ultimately suffer - not only with poor gas mileage but other issues as well?
I took off the clogged cat and gutted it. I installed the angled O2 sensor at the secondary (downstream) location, I re-installed the gutted cat. No more check engine light and no more bad MPG, but it wouldn't pass emissions.
I put a used (working) cat on and the car passed emissions, but that cat eventually clogged up and I was back to the CEL and bad MPG. The ECU recognizes the extra oil being burned and tries to correct it, by allowing more fuel in to the mix and the MPG is effected.
I couldn't leave the modified O2 adapter on, because it would fail the visual emission inspection. I didn't want to stink up the air, so I got a used engine.
I checked with several shops in the mid-west and they wanted between $2,500 - 3,300 to do a ring job and valve seal replacement.
The Integra had been burning oil and its MPG was down to 19. Burning 1.25 qts per 1000 miles (at about 120,000 miles) kept fouling my cat.
In 2012, I decided to buy a used engine from hmotorsonline dot com (Steve), for $900 shipped. It was the JDM version B18B instead of my USDM B18B1.
Thru Facebook, I found a guy to move all of the USDM sensors/oil pump/brackets/ intake/etc over, change the timing belt, and then install it for $500. All of the new parts that I had to buy were $600, so the total cost was around $2,000.
That solved my issues. Since 2012, the car has been driven 25,000 miles, gets 27 MPG, is emissions legal, and mainly has been sitting in my garage.
