Is it an auto or manual?

Manual -- You run the risk of the O2 sensor being long enough to actually rattle against your shift linkage.

Auto -- ???

I would go with Honda OE if you can afford it, I know I'm regretting buying the Bosch at the moment, it's too stinking long and rattles badly.

No do not go stock, too much money. Get Denso, fits perfect, even clipped on to factory bracket for my primary.

Plus I think Denso might make the Honda ones.

Denso on Amazon. It's basically similar to the OEM one and cheaper than the Botched, I mean Bosch.

I have been using a Bosch O2 sensor for about 6 months now, and I have had no issues. Go to the website rockauto.com, they got `em cheap.

I wish it was that simple, it is the top of the O2 sensor (about the last 1/2in) that rests against it.

Seriously though you don't need one specifically for an Integra. I would get the cheapest Denso that will reach your wiring currently.

doesn't rywire make one?! it says application for most hondas? but it's not really descriptive of what car it fits unless most of them are interchangeable. Can someone verify this?

I believe the only difference is the length of wire on the sensor, not 100% on that

- Denso makes the OEM Honda sensor.
- The sensor itself is exactly the same for almost all Honda 4-wire applications
- Yes the only difference is the wire length and/or any included grommets.
- You can buy the exact same sensor (universal version) and wire it yourself for $28 shipped on Amazon
- Just snip off your old sensor and use the kit to wire in the new sensor to the old plug
- Save you tons of money and you have an OEM sensor (ready fro another 15+ years)

Just be aware the difference between sensors in a Denso box and a Honda box is the color of the wiring. So do a little research before wiring them up. Here is a link to the Denso Catalog where you can search for the sensor (search the car your motor came from): http://www.densoaftermarket.com/cata....php?part=o2sn

Part number for the universal sensor is: 234-4209



They also make the custom exact-fit sensors but they cost a lot more: 234-4011 (upstream) & 234-4659 (downstream)
