Denso 02 sensors.

[Rx3]

Just stumbled across them today on Mach V's website. Supposedly direct replacement (no hacking wires) and you can run leaded fuel. Here's the kicker. Only fits the front sensor on the 2Gs. Damn, we are screwed again You 1G guys have it made (seemingly).



Anyone use these yet? What are your thoughts?

I'm looking for some feedback to your question too!

Just weld in a new o2 bung, whats the problem? Only fits the front of a 2G? . I'll make it screw into your valve cover if you really want.

Buy 2 of them, buy the bungs and weld in your fittings that way you can position your o2 sensors whereever and however you want. You can even weld the new bung where the old one was if your good with a OA torch and welder nobody would even know it was changed. I would just weld in a whole new bung then you can use the one left over for a wide band O2 for tuning or Dyno runs...

That Denso sensor isn't a wideband sensor though, or is it?

how is this 'leaded' sensor different from OEM?

According to Dan at Mach V:

It works just like a stock one. No difference in performance. Denso makes the stock one, too!

and its ok'd for use with lead? i'm going to have to give him a call.

If it's for use with leaded fuel too then it may be a heated O2 sensor. Many big hp rotary guys use them since rotaries run so rich it helps burn off carbon deposits and lead deposits that may stick to it.

My welding "skillz" are not up to par for that yet...... but good idea. I know a few people that can weld much better than I can
