Default broke ecu pin for o2 sensor help please

im doing a b18c jdm swap in my 93 cx hatch. I am wiring up the 4 wire o2 and on the ecu pins i ripped the wire from it. Then trying to get that out i snapped another piece of the pin off so there is only like half left, is there any way to deal with this? its driving me nuts and wasting time on me doing this motor swap.

you could get a new ecu. or like what i did. i pulled out an ecu plug and it yanked out the whole vtec pin. but my friend chips ecus and just soldered a new pin in.

no this is on one of the plugs going into the ecu, not the ecu itself

would i be able to just cut and splice the wires in instead of potentially ruining the new connector?

yeah you can cut and connect the wires but. thats realy crappy especialy down the road if you dont solder and heat shrink them. pulling pins is easy. practice on a crappy plug and itl take you 2 minutes to replace all the pins in a plug. 1 at a time
