So I go to thepartsbin.com and do a search for C5010-75044, it comes up with two results. The strange thing is they are of different part number and one's Denso at $152, the other is Bosch at $299. C5010-75044 actually is for the Bosch. Is the Denso one going to work?

thanks!

I don't think so. It has to be the 5 wire variety and the Bosch is the only 5 wire in any of the listings.

a week and a half they had a different O2 sensor there i bought it by mistake ... don't buy it they won't return your money after sell is final... I email still trying to get my money back bastards

i suggest you order it locally. less hassle, and probably going to be same price

You need to give them a call and let them know you are looking for a five wire, L1H1 O2 sensor. Don't rely on their website, just speak with them directly.

I went to the NAPA site and ordered mine. No problems.

KingDsi

Yeah, you will get an email saying they are out of stock on factory back-order.

sharkcohen

Did and thought exactly what you did. Received an email 3 days later saying that they were out of stock. Have you actually received a sensor from them???

hybridsol

Yea, I did. But it was last year, around august? I remember Techedge saying they were getting harder to come by... I think mine took a week or two to come in.

Of course they had no idea so many people would be buying them for wideband systems... they were originally for the VX(?) civic as a replacement part.

You could always try a Honda dealer too... like BC Imports or Hasport. I don't know if they'd have it though...

I am coming in on the tail end of this.. Will this sensor act as a wideband? Also, what kind of voltage output does it have .. I mean, whats the range from 9 to 18?

How would you adapt the connector to your car?

Thanks

you need the o2 sensor and the wideband unit to logically deduce the data coming in from the sensor. then all this will translate into a voltage which is displayed. On stand alone systems like Aem Ems, you can display the afr correctly only if you calibrate your sensor correctly. Sensor alone wont be a wideband unit. you need the brainbox to come along with it

cjb80

Where do you get the brain box for this sensor then?

I am currently running the Motec PLM with the EMS system, but this was a striaght forward setup. I am looking for a cheaper setup for a friend of mine..

Thanks!

so denso will not work??there was a 5 wire wideband o2 sensor listed on ebay...original use wasfor civic vx...L1H1 also..so this wont work??why not?

keebler65

that one SHOULD work. thats the exact one that techedge recommends. it comes down to if you trust the people on ebay

GOLDBERG

guy has awesome feedback but the sensor is 175

reXem

I thought the L1H1 was the NGK version of the sensor

badCRX

when you guys get the TechEdge kit, do you get the 2.6m or 4m cable? What do the prices convert to in US dollars?

i ordered the v1.5 last night and it came out to 330 total with shipping and everything, i m just wondering how long shipping is gonna take.

I ordered mine several weeks ago and still haven't heard Squat from them.....I got a confirmation email when I ordered, so I know they got the order, but NO idea when, or if ever i'll see the unit.....

hybridsol

Ahh, don't be bummed guys, it's the coolest thing, and they can barely make them fast enough (think of all the other FI cars). Peter is good to his word....

BEFORE you get it, try to find an old burt up O2 sensor so you can cut the plug off and use it, that way, you won't be, uh, tempted, to use your exisitng fully functional o2 sensor as a sacrifice...

Oh yea, and be sure to wire the O2/box power DIRECTLY to the battery. I used those spring clips from Radio shack. They work good. And while you're there, pick up the 9-pin connector thing for the RS232 port on the box, a pack of 500 Ohm 1/8 watt resistor (small one), and some shielded wire.

I had problems with the unit going on and off when I used the lighter outlet, I think the contact is not as good- the O2 sensor needs some jusce to keep it hot.

Oh and remeber to disconnect it when you turn the car off. I drained two batteries completely dead forgetting to leave it on. Sears won't honor my lifetime gaurentee anymore.

They are based right in the area of Australia that is having those serious wild fires. Have some patience with them right now, guys.

sharkcohen

Not a problem if you have it wired to a 12V source that is switched with the ignition, as they recommend.

sharkcohen

You did exactly what they recommend not to do. They suggest not using the cigarette lighter wire because the circuit typically does not deliver a stable 12V. That is why you had trouble.

I purchased the 4 m cable and regretted it. The 2.6 m cable would have been perfectly adequate in my 5th gen lude.
