Default Bosch o2 sensor .. Can ya use it ?

I can't get my o2 sensor off the del sol. So after 2 days of trying i thought maybe i'd get the 15 dollar bosch ones at autozone. Anybody ever use these b4? I'd like to know how they perform b/c they'll be put to the test with a turbo manifold. Thanks for any reply's

You are correct!

I have the bosch O2 on my del sol, but it's the oem replacement (comes with "pigtail". Cost for me was 145.00

The universal one is about $65.00 and you need to wire it up, so you had better know what you are doing.

If you were quoted 15.00, either you didn't understand his reply or he miss understood what you needed.

i got the universal bosch o2, 69 bucks plus tax. i wired it up correctly, but now i get code 43(fuel supply system, o2 sensor) every once in a while. it sucks, but my local honda dealer quoted me at 245 bucks for a honda o2- and i didnt have that kind of money. how are the bosch oem replacement sensors? do they work well?

Majestic Honda sells OEM o2 sensors(for the Z6) for about 165. Autozone has the OEM style Bosch for about 145... Don't get the universal Bosch! I'm still deciding whether I sould use the bosch or the Honda - but I have a feeling that they are both exactly the same.

You are correct... and denso is the Co. that makes the OEM O2 sensor!!

I've had mine on for over a year guys and I've had no problems with it at all. I have it plugged into my Mugen Exhaust and I'm running with a randomtech cat.

So far all is well.

Man that O2 sensor must hate you. I read your other thread and I wouldve thought the breaker bar would of atleast done the trick. That sucks man, good luck in finding another O2 sensor. I also believe that the OBD1 and OBD2 O2 sensors are the same because I was able to swap O2 sensors between the OBD1 swap I had with my original OBD2 motor without any problems.

I had this same EXACT problem. I asked a "Honda-Tech" (pun intended) at a local dealer, and he said "If there is 1 thing that you DON'T want to buy aftermarket, it's an o2."

I replaced mine with a used OEM and my car ran much better, and got better gas milage.

i put my bosch o2 sensor on when i installed my header, and not to shortly after that i noticed worse gas mileage. since then i have new cap,rotor,plugs,wires and the mpg is still a little lower than it used to be. looks like i just have to get an oem o2
