Default O2 sensor question for B16 swap

i tried a search, but it didnt work. either my pc is messed up or the search is broken. anyways, could someone tell me if this is accurate?

Make sure the wiring for the O2 sensors aren't backwards. 99% of the time, most people will just add the one wire for the second O2. What you need to do is flip the two... you would think it doesn't matter, but it does. Car ran bad when it was reversed.

i found this on the net and i want to know if this is correct. i'm swapping a B16 into a crx, using my existing harness from the D16A6. i'm starting tomorrow, and would like to know if this is accurate.

thankyou!

i have a dc header for my b16 swap i would just spice the 2 wires from the ecu together due to the fact i don't wanna run 2 o2 sensors .people have done it before and it has worked .it runs alittle rich though.I think if you do run 2 o2 sensors it does make a difference if they are backwards though.

That is correct according to me. It ran like crap until I reversed them. No one tells you these things off the bat... props for finding it for yourself
