When it comes to the cars electronics, I am not very good. I need an actual o2 extension kit as opposed to the crappy splice kit that pacesetter sent with my header. Because of the splicing, my o2 sensor is reading slow, killing my performance and gas mileage. If you could give me a good suggestion on what to use and where to find it, I would greatly appreciate it.
look on caspers electronics , they have alot of extensions , of different lengths
^^^ All they have is a 4 prong square one. My O2 sensor only has 1 wire running from the actual sensor to the frsit connector.. and even the connecots don't look similar..
solder the wire, dont just crimp and forget it.
soldering is gonna give the most accurate connection. takes like 30 seconds if that.
Thanks art, i don't know why i didn't think of just soldering them.
pretty much everything electrical i do, i;ve gotten into the groove of soldering from racing r/c cars for so many years...
sponsors dont like DNF's at regionals, or even at local levels
just a habit to do it now
whats the difference between crimping and soildering? That shouldnt affect response its still a metal to metal connection

I just pulled my wires out of the larger wire loom and stretched them to reach the bung. Then I attached the conncetor to a placstic piece that runs along the inside bumber cover. Much better result, easier than splicing and cleaner looking.

w/ crimping you can get a bad connection
and soldering is more permanant

the voltage of the o2 sensor registers down pretty low. soldering is more acurate than connectors.
in r/c racing we ditched connectors for soldering cause of connectors (besides the gold plated deans connectors) lost too much through resistance. every connector thats made isnt equal, the better the conductor, the more accurate the reading and less resistance.
soldering pretty much takes out the other variables.
so then i should solder my air/fuel ratio gauge?
DRIVE HARD OR DONT DRIVE AT ALL!!!
