Help w/ o2 Sensor Extentions After Header Install on GS - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

Jms21106 · January 12th, 2012, 04:29 PM

Ok I just up on obx headers on my eclipse gt and I have two o2 sensors that dont reach does any one know what I can do for fix it

Each o2 sensor has about a 12 inch wire on it stock, then a plug (either grey or black) that plugs into the ECU wires. You can cut this 12 inch wire (4 wires inside) and insert the recommended length of extension for each of the 4. Here they are, cut and pasted from RIPP's instructions

nabbed that from new OBX long tube headers

and here: OBX Longtubes

its got some pics and might be helpful!

Says the guy with Lambo doors...

Do some research on the forums. ALOT of people have rave reviews about them and love em to death. There's a whole thread just about the OBX headers on here.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

^^oh damn, thas some cold shit.

I don't much care for them either, but bshue has them and he has one of the baddest - IF not THE baddest GS on here. 300 ponies from the straight 4. how about that? and god damn if his lambo doors don't look pretty sweet on his whip.

joeyb · January 13th, 2012, 01:35 PM

also, fixed the title.

OrangeDemon · January 13th, 2012, 02:14 PM

Lol bshue lives down the street from me. His whip is sweet but hasn't been operational in 18 months now. So its really not that sweet if you can't drive it cause its always broke! I believe his lambo doors are more functional than his headers lol!

Last time I talked to him he said the shop that does all the work to his car couldn't figure out why his battery drained even when off. Before that it was a timing issue, and before that it was a bad tune. Needless to say its why I do the work myself here in ohio. That's why he's not active on the forum anymore. He's hoping the shop gets it fixed by spring so he can get it out to the tampa meet. But we will see.

Well I stick to reading the GS forums, this guy obviously has a GT and placed this under the GS Forum so from what I have read about GS they are a pain in the ass, I have read a lot of threads on them as I am looking for some myself. And what about my doors ?!?!? Ill take the headers any day if they were free and deal with the hassle.

Guys taking pics without their shirts, so played out pedophiles stopes doing it

yeah - the tune is EVERYTHING when it comes to these FI set-ups. Luckily, mine is good and the best thing about my whip. Went from 271 untuned to 347 tuned in one 3 - hour session on the dyno. Having someone who knows what they are doing with that F/IC is a MUST.
