emissions/ o2 sensor help

Be a little more clear on what you are trying to accomplish here.

Are you trying to pass emissions with a modded car?

Are you just asking what you can remove to help increase performance?
 
i think you can run a dummy 02 sensor that tells ecu voltage but i unno where to get one, and why would you want to remove maf and 02? it wouldnt help anything and it would just throw a code.

To piggyback onto this, there is no need to find a dummy o2 sensor (for the rear o2 sensor). The old trick is to use spark plug defoulers in the bung to get the rear o2 sensor out of the exhaust stream. This will allow you to remove your catalytic converter with no CEL's. You could even do it cheaper than that and wrap the o2 sensor with tin foil and wire it up out of the way (ghetto yes but it works). Put in a plug in the bung or hell even a spark plug works.

i dont have to pass emissions and i dont like the clutter of the emissions so if i dont have to have it i dont want it

what does the tin foil do??? and cwriley what do you mean get rid of the maf???? i thought you have to have it or it wont run right

Correct, unless you replace your stock maf with another air metering device, your car will run like poop without it. Leave your maf where it is and plugged in, same with your o2 sensors. Emissions stuff you can remove are, EGR, FIAV, charcoal canister, fuel pressure solenoid, catalytic converter, EGR control solenoid, purge control solenoid, wastegate control solenoid if you have a MBC, and I think there are a few other things. The only emissions I'm running on my 92 is FPR solenoid for hot starts, and o2 sensor, no CEL for 10k miles.

The tin foil is because the rear o2 sensor has a heater in it. It is for safety.
