u mean it will lean out because the ecu will still allocate the same amount of fuel because it still thinks the catalyzer is there (when its not) ?

er... then pls tell me what is the point of having an o2 sensor?
aint that spose to detect changes?

Warm,

Go dyno with A/F. At least it takes your worries away as soon as you know whether your ECU is stuffing up the A/F or not

If it's weekend car, then get it power up mah..... As long as you have proper tuning and more care, it should last for few years.....

You're wrong bro..... Piston has more torque than rotor during idling (piston has more weight than rotor, thus when it's going up and down, It has more torque), so you wont fell the loss of power at low with cat removed, summore Caldina is turbo...... Secondly, piston can sustain more leaner AF and Knocking than Rotor....... But for NA it's always better to keep some back pressure (This is Jaii's approach to Kyoto Protocol.... ), unless the car is idling at 2k rpm.... hhehee

jaafar has 100cell/200cell free flow cats too, currently out of stock but he can get it if he want, replace it with the restrictive cats the eu cars are having could gain more power as well

hope this helps.
It should not be a problem with SMG........ During high rpm, you dont need back pressure, so you'll be running faster....... JFA will want you to change anything if they're dont have business....... If i want a free flow cat, i probably get the europe one.....

Canada & American Part number for Radiator fan motor:
Driver side- N3-H1-15-150
Pasenger side- N3-H2-15-150

i don't think these number match the japanese part number. this is what i have.
