Default b16a turbo oxygen senor

I have a civic 95 with a b16a engine. I just installed a turbo and im getting a oxygen sensor 1 code every so often, my ecu is an obd1 s200 so i only need one sensor. The sensors postion is just after the engine on the down pipe. Ive been tolled that replacing the sensor wouldnt do any good as the turbo is the problem. Ive read a few posts and heard the wideband word afew times, not sure what that means. Any help on how to fix my problem would be great. Thanx

An S200 is not an ECU. I'm boosted with only one O2 sensor and get no such codes so I don't know how the turbo is supposed to be the problem.

Sorry, my ecu is a hondata s200 p72. So your saying that a stock oxygen sonsor should have no problems with a turbo, then i should just replace my sensor and the problem will go away?

Where did I say that? I said the TURBO is not causing the issue like you were "told". Find out what is.

And tell me what what a "turbo" O2 sensor is? My O2 is stock.

Ok i dont real understand much about this stuff but i do understand when someone is being a dick, if you dont have anything useful to say then maybe you should go find something more constructive to do like getting a life. Your very good at pointing out to me everything i dont know but not being at all helpful.

Maybe go yell at the people that you are talking to feeding you misinformation instead because they obviously don't know anything either. How you are in a turbo'd car and know nothing about it is not my fault. Turbocharging is not something you should remain ignorant about so if I were you I'd start reading up on the subject so you can become more knowledgeable. If you bought the car already boosted then you are already learning the very important lesson that you don't buy someone else's project. Why? Because you don't know anything about it!

If you had simply tried to Google some of these things prior to asking you might have saved yourself a post.

How did you "just turbo" a car and not know any of these things? What a wideband is? What are your AFRs reading? Is the car running rich? Is the car running lean? Is the car actually tuned? Or is it running a basemap? Is the fuel system upgraded?

When I type in the word "wideband" I get all kinds of results.

If you don't know why you need one then you shouldn't be messing with any boost parts whatsoever.

BTW. I am trying to help you. Because you are being confronted with how much you actually do not know on the subject of turbocharging an engine and feeling some way about it is not my issue.

Well to start with i do know that i have no idea about any of these things. Why do you thing im asking?

I dont have an afr gauge installed, I should have i know. The car is not tuned for a turbo, im using a missing link at the moment until i can get the gm map sensor then i will get it tuned all in one go. my fuel system has been upgraded. Im using a bosch universal petrol pump with 8 bars and an OBX fuel automatic Comparison unit and my injectors have been upgraded to 20

My point is, you shouldn't be ignorant at this stage. Continuously saying that you are doesn't help your case. Take your car to a real shop before you blow it up. "Upgraded to 20?" What does that even mean? Missing link? That is a dinosaur POS device no one uses anymore-for a reason. It was also used in conjunction with an FMU to trick the stock MAP sensor into seeing less boost pressure than there actually was. Why bother with the Hondata unit at all then? I typed "OBX fuel automatic Comparison unit" into Google and came up empty. I've never heard of one before.

With this haphazard setup of yours ANYTHING could be causes your intermittent CEL.

I only just got the hondata so thats why i was using the missing link for the map sensor. Now that ive got the hondata ive ordered the gm map sensor. My mistake its an obx fuel managment unit. The "20" meant that my injectors are from the b20 engine.

From a quick search B20 injectors are the same size as any other B-series-240cc so you didn't "upgrade" at all. And your " obx fuel managment unit" is an FMU. Your setup is fail all the way around using relatively ancient tech.

Good luck to you with that ticking time bomb. When you want to boost the right way, read the link in my signature.
