Nice - added to my to do list

 

It was a really simple diy, but I really like how it cleans up the bay, lol.

I need to give credit to spoolin, I had seen this done last year by someone, and then he reminded me.

I just put it down on "paper".

 

You can do this with almost all aftermarket ECU's.

I know the install drill too, to cut a long story short i slipped and snapped it clean off when changing the oil once .

 

this isnt necessary is it??? You can leave it in there if you want correct? My aem ems is on its way here and I did not know this Anyone answer this?

 

It's not required. It's just that if space is an issue it frees some up.

 

 

Good writeup Adam! This should be very helpful to a lot of people that dont need the sensor.

Not only does it get it out of the way, it also eliminates unwanted plastic and wires possibly getting melted due to the heat of the turbo. I had problems with the plastic on the sensor slightly melting and the wires getting crispy and then I found out the sensor wasnt used with the AEM EMS, so off it came.

One more thing if you do start to notice a little bit of oil film building up around the bolt head over time. If this happens, just put some teflon tape on the threads of the bolt and it will seal the threads good enough to keep this from happening.

 

I'd recommend a copper washer for sealing. Gives you more to torque against without smearing it. Looks good.

 

you could also use a shallow running NPT plug. Good detailed write up!

 

NTP plugs will not work. I tried a variety of NTP plugs and none of them would thread in more than half a thread. And I am definently not cross threading the vtec solenoid.

Hondata does not use this sensor either.
