oxygen sensor mod

i have a d-series airmass header from a different motor than mine becaue the o2 sensor bung is on the bottom, and my stock one is on the top. if i took a piece of automotive wire and cut the o2 sensor wire and re crimped it to make it longer would it still work?

of course. its just wire.

yes, but you should solder it and then use heat shrink on the connection to prevent corrosion.

i had to crimp it, solder wouldnt stick to it, but i did use heat shrink and electrical tape

theres no reason for soder not to stick to it.

Unless of course not done right!!. Solder and heat shrink the bitch. Crimp is fine for a little while then most likely cause problems.

dont worry about soldering it. just use a dab of oil

If you crimp it, it could still come loose and throw a code. You can connect the wires together nicely by splicing them together and taping it up smooth. Much experience with wires will help to make it work as good as soldering. BTW, I think the Bosch crimp off of the sensor they provide (little metal piece) sucks so I just cut that shit off and crimped it smoothly there, and insulated the connection (down at the sensor).
