98-1059 is here to stay

That really sucks the bumper support was missing. Why would they do that? Did they remove the charcoal canister as well? Mine was missing and the smell gave me a terrible headache. It would also stink up the garage. Keep the updates coming.

Was it a terrible exhaust/emissions smell? Especially when accelerating hard?

I would compare it to a heavy unburned emissions smell combined with a BBQ with lighter fluid stinch if that makes sense? The smell makes me understand why it's called a charcoal canister.

Makes sense, I experience the same. I have a build up of black particles all over my rear bumper. I even put a completely different swap in to the car, different ecu and completely different exhaust and I'm still getting the same amount black dust all over the back of the car, it has to be fuel, but i can't figure out for the life of me why i can't solve the problem. My fuel mileage is about 27mpg, which i feel could be a lot better. The particles must be fuel but HOW?! I thought it was the canister, so i replaced that as well, then i learned there is another second black canister bolted to the back of the block?

What is your exhaust setup from the header back?

JDM ITR 4-1 header
JDM ITR cat (I think. It’s the shorter one)
OEM B pipe
OEM muffler

I'm always curious about the different ways people deal with the secondary O2 sensor (when using jdm cat). What's your setup with that?

My JDM cat has an o2. I think the 96 spec doesn't and the 98 spec does.

I have the same set up on my hatchback only a ek9 exhaust. It uses a jdm ecu and doesn't use the secondary o2. I tried to use the traditional cheater methods before I got a usdm cat for my integra and I would always get a o2 slow response code. This was with a test pipe, not the jdm shorty. Curious on the ecu and if you have the secondary o2 with this set up?

The black box is on the back of the block on older models. It gets omitted in the us model in 2000 or 2001 . I think it attaches to the pcv valve. It could be a source of oil on the bumper, it isn't attached to the charcoal canister .

o2? It should have a 1 wire sensor, but it's not a o2. I forget what they are called. The 98 has a light on the cluster for the 98 spec if it gets to hot.

That cluster light is on the 96 spec, not the 98.

edit: it could have been some sort of option for both. My 98 spec didn't have it, but when i search them on ebay both 96 spec and 98 specs have them, although there is a good chance the sellers aren't sure what the actual year of the cluster is.

We probably shouldn't be cluttering spoonfed's thread with tech talk. Lol

That wire plug in the jdm cat is a temp sensor afaik.

That's my setup as well because unfortunately i"m unable to source a complete usdm itr set up. Though I'm using a jdm b-pipe because the usdm b pipe is too short for the jdm cat. Yours must be jdm as well for that setup or your b-pipe was modified.

To be honest. Maybe it’s not the JDM cat the more I think about it. To me it just looked shorter. Maybe aftermarket? They used the sensor in the rear.

And yes. They made some modifications before the B pipe to help with length. Also I made a 3” extension in the rear.
