My SES light is on after 70 miles on the new header, runs great , still gets GRREat gas mileage, but that SES light is just driving me nuts... I have found a few places close that offer O2 sims, of course they only come w/ a HONDA pinout for the ECU. Im looking for some alternatives in removing that SES light. Anyone got a link, or site, or info on throwing one of those things on there for cheap? the one the store had looked as if it needed to be installed on the ECU. I have looked on the forums and found out a lil info, but Im looking for some testimonials here folks! help me out!!

get a MIL Eliminator. It just basically goes attached to the O2 sensor on the header and makes the ECU beleive that nothing was ever changed, therefore no CEL.

 

Big Josh Racing has a SES fix, it's a resistor that connects to the 2nd O2 sensor... makes the ECU think it's getting two different readings from the sensors. I,ve put 1k miles on since installing mine and no SES light.

 

Thanks guys, I ordered on, and im sure it will be on the way soon. After I posted, I took a look for some other kamikaze header installs, and that seems to be the best thing.. We shall see!!

 

Well, its now the 7th, my card hasnt been charged, nor have i recieved any tracking information. I left 3 messages on the voicemail for BJR, but no response. Anyone know how long it takes to get something from bigjoshracing? I am starting to wonder if it will ever arrive.. 7 days is plenty of time to at least tell me if its been shipped or not, I am in the same state.

What were the gains with the Kamikaze Header?

 

I havnt set it on a dyno, but there is a definate high end gain. I feel the power between 4 - 5500 RPMS... I dont like to wind out the motor too much, but ive taken it in the red a few times.. Low end sucks, I am having to give more gas to take off, that is unless i rev a bit... but the tires spend for days... in town driving is ku...except for the take off... makes it hard to keep quiet around the po pos... other than that... I love it, good HP gain, and a deep sound like no other. Great for the price.
