Many people know that car converters unlimited must be removed mandatory, after a certain mileage! But they consider it as a useless piece of metal. Thinking that it costs nothing, knock it out to just throw it away! However, this is wrong, a converters unlimited can be sold for a good sum of money.
There are five general mistakes, regarding converters unlimited cutting off.
Mistake . There is a maximum mileage, which requires obligatory converters unlimited cutting off
There is no specific mileage to remove or throw away the converters unlimited . Everything is very individual and depends on many indicators, including the fuel that the motor uses.
It happens that bad quality gasoline can melt and destroy the converters unlimited and all the units at a time. If you refuel with good fuel at proven gas stations, then the unit can work for a long period of time, for example, 150-200 or even 250,000 km. Especially if this converters unlimited is of EURO3 or EURO4, the unit walls are thick and last longer.
The standard of EURO5 catalysts is EURO6 (which are installed on modern cars), which is not so durable, all because their cells are made thinner so that they clean more waste gases (the environmental requirement is more strict). Therefore, a converters unlimited does not last long. In any case, if the converters unlimited has exhausted its life, you will most likely get an error on the dashboard that will come from the second oxygen sensor. Gas purification is not so effective. And also the car will pull worse or stall.
Modern converters unlimited can be partially destroyed, for example, a sand surface is created. If the ceramic converter starts to form sand, when the valves are closed, it can be sucked into the engine cylinders and tear up the walls of the cylinder block.
To prevent this from happening, watch your motor, buy an endoscope and look at the state of the catalyst, for example, climb in and look at it through an oxygen sensor. If the car is under warranty, then there is nothing to be afraid of, but after all, it is up to you.
Mistake . Removal of converters unlimited will guarantee an increase in motor power
Many people think that after removing a converters unlimited , engine capacity will increase. It is a big mistake! Removing the converters unlimited will give a small increase in power of about 2-3% (not more), because you removed the element that prevents the exhaust gases from coming out.
BUT modern car converters unlimited have thin walls, and they minimize exhaust fumes. So an increase of 10 or 15% is just a good myth. And if you want to remove it precisely because of an increase in power, this is silly! To increase the power of a car, you need to carry out a whole range of measures, including changing the exhaust tract itself, for example, putting a spider 4 – 2 – 1 or 4 – 1.
When you delete car converters unlimited , you may encounter such troubles as increased fuel consumption, oil consumption, ringing sound of the muffler, etc.
