190 1.8 catalytic converto.r

[cbclark]

Does anyone have any information on running a 190 1.8 injection without a catalytic convertor.
Is it possible to replace the exhaust with a none cat version ,and are any other changes required.
Any help would be appreciated

no problem at all just fit a cat bypass but leave all the other sensors in

if the car is aged before january 1993 K reg then you can remove it and no effect to the UK mot regs ( its not against the law and will be ok on emmisions )

Thank you for your help,could you explain what a cat bypass is and where could I obtain one.

it a piece of exaust pipe put in place of the catalist its that simple look in the breakers yard for the earlier makes and the pipe could easly be found to replace yours " early ones didnt have the cat" so you could have one of those exaustes fitted to your car as long as you dont change the front pipe with the O2 sensor in it this will have to stay on

The Cat- bypass tube
Effectively a length of tubing with two flanges welded on! Very simple replacement of standard catalyst.

190E Catalytic convertor

Hi Jerry

In an earlier post I asked if anyone knew where I could get a complete non catalyst front pipe for my 2.0L 1992 190E. On the 190 (as I'm sure you know) has a complete front pipe from manifold to centre box. Ideally I would like to get the complete front pipe in stainless steel from manifold to centre box but incorporating the treaded hole for the lamda sensor in the correct position.

Did your company produce such a front pipe or only a section to add in to an existing front pipe.

Alternatively, there is a company near me who will fabricate a catalyst free front pipe for me (in stainless steel) with the lamda adapter installed. Not cheap though! Is anyone else interested in having one of these so a quantity discount might apply.

Please let me know.
