i just bought a B16a and i asked a friend the same question u had. he told me to connect one of o2 wires to the other one so like the computer is thinking it is getting input from 2 different o2 sensors but u only have one. U will still have to run another o2 sensor wire. Snip one wire and splice the wire comming from the harness stright to the other o2 senor. its kinda confusing.

DX hubs work fine..That is a myth...

The stock ECU looks for two O2 sensors..Having just
one or even two wired backwards will make it run like crap...
