I'm about to put a B16 in my Sol Si (factory equipped z6). I noticed that the o2 sensor on the z6 is near the front of the engine bay, in runner 3 or 4. The o2 sensor on the B16 is in the back, 3 inches or so from where the cat will be. I don't think everything will reach, so does someone make an adapter? Given my luck, I'd want to avoid spliced wires under the hood as much as possible.

 

i think the best way to do it is to splice them

 

Just to make sure we mean the same thing, what do you mean by "splice". Cut, twist, solder, and cover?

yes, but you would need an extension wire in there too

 

Of course... so I guess I'll just go get some of the same colored wires. I'm just trying to make sure that there are no surprises come swap time.

 

Also, does it matter what type of wire I use? I know that KS's require shielded wire for proper operation, is the 02 sensor like this as well?
