So just to give a little background, i purchased a 96 Geo tracker LSi 2wd 4D for $1000 with plans to swap the engine into my 88 Samurai. Now here's where it gets interesting. I plan on turboing the 1.6 16V but i also plan on doing a full rebuild of the engine and upgrading the pistons and rods to handle some boost. Nothing crazy though only about 6-8psi for now while still using the stock ECU and a FMU to enrich fuel during boost. Anyways, since this is a OBDII engine, some things won't necessarily be the same with the turbo manifold and i'm wondering if the CEL will be on or if i can trick it into not being on. Right away i worry about the down stream o2 sensor from the cat, if i delete the cat will the CEL light be on or is there a way to trick it, since all i believe it does is monitor how well the cat is functioning. Also i know the EGR system wont function since the turbo manifold doesn't have the port that allows exhaust to flow through the head and into the egr main valve, is there a way to remove the EGR as well so the computer doesn't see a problem and trip the CEL? I would love to be able to turbo it and still have all the functionality of the stock ECU in case there are other problems that i can still monitor.
