    I'm not running any of the things you listed


    Car Safety / General Servicing Checks --------Basic suspension checks

    My 5.7 LS1 Holden Ute

    A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

      are you asking if there are any problems associated with removing those sensors?

      For anyone running a chipped ecu the egr is already disabled seeing as the civic and integra ecu's don't control the egr anyways.

        i guess that is what im asking lol after i posted i did more research and found out that removing knock sensor is not an issue at all.

        Im still not sure if to remove iabs or not, on a 400whp+ boosted application, im sure u still want the secondaries closed at lower rpm.

        What other sensors/useless shit is ok to remove with a chipped ecu/boosted app?

          Removing the knock sensor actually benefits you. Honda knock sensors suck ass.

          I'd leave the IAB's open.

              They suck at actually detecting knock. They retard timing for absolutely no reason.

                and sometimes retard on just engine noise alone.

                  so whats everyone's opinion on the IABs? leave always open, always closed, or leave the IAB system in-tact?

                    my opinion

                    unhook it and hook it up and see where you want the power, i like it better without. kinda feels like my car is slugish with it hooked up. I bought a used box tho, it possibly is not workingly correctly, but this is the case with both my cars. I dont like it, and really think its not worth it.

                    I also run none of these sensors! runs fantastic with a tune by d112crzy animal!

                        it wont hurt the motor n/a with stock ecu not having all these connected will it? i know i will get a bunch of check engine light codes, but other than that is it ok? reason is, im gonna drop my motor in without all these, drive it for a month+ and than boost it and throw in the bigger injectors and chipped ecu.

                          The ecu won't know wheather the iabs are hooked up or not. It makes no difference to the ecu either way.

                          the only thing it may hurt is bottom end performance.
