how would i go about doing this? can i just use anywire??? or dos it have to be special...the reason i have to do this is b/c the o2 sensor doesnt reach the bung for it to screw in...

-thanks

 

just cut and add some wire. my dc sports header came with an extender with plug connectors on each side they might sell them seperate.

 

I just looked around my house for that extender harness, but I can't find it anywhere . You can't say I didn't try to help though. Sorry though I have no idea what I did with that thing.

 

alright thanks for trying to help man...so any wire will work? just splice it and add wire eh???

 

yep, unless you want to buy the 2 plug connectors from honda to make your own extension harness. wast of money in my opinion.

 

get some 18 gauge wire, strip it, solder it to the O2 sensor wire, slap on some heatshrink tubing and crimp on a female spade connector and plug up, it will def work, i just passed smog today.

 

more wire= more resistance. One wire o2 sensors are 0.8 volts. A small difference in resistance can throw off your reading.

 

The dc sports extension harness seems to work well and it adds 2 plug connectors and extra wire. And what about people that add a 4 wire 02 sensor when converting to OBD1? I doubt their wire lengths are the same as a stock OBD1 vehicle.

 

I would look for a wire that has a heat resistant insulator 18guage. Just solder it.
And you will probably not need more than a foot which will not add much resistance.

I have done it on my car and I know it works!

 

in most cases you can split the engine harness loom and pull more of the o2 wire out. if you were going to splice i would add wire to the engine harness side this way if you need a new sensor in a pinch any sensor will fit, also if you want a longer o2 wire for some reason bosch makes 1 wires universal o2's with different lenth wires just get a long one and solder on your plug. My vote is for the engine harness extension
