o2 housings

[mikh338]

ok so I have been looking at these two o2 housings and wanted opinions on which one is better.

The 2.5" o2 housing from punishment racing recirculated as you see in this link
http://www.maperformance.com/store/product.php?productid=17636&cat=1075&page=1

Or this megan racing o2 housing which is also 2.5"
http://www.maperformance.com/store/product.php?productid=18129&cat=1074&page=1

They are both very close in price but was wondering if you guys have experience with them? what one is better quality? does one fit up better then the other? let me know thanks a lot. It will be mated up to my brand new polished bullsye to4b vtrim turbo

Here are some reviews from Tech/DIY and bolt-on-tech forum:

eclipsegsx1736 gives a short review of the prototype megan o2 housing. It is a good thread with a few pics of the o2 housing.

Hope these give you a little clarity on a decision.

Hey. I picked up this eBay O2 housing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-DSM-Stainless-o2-Housing-Eclipse-Talon-4G63-Turbo_W0QQitemZ150164952912QQihZ005QQcategoryZ33742QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's a nice unit at half the cost. Something to consider. Just my 2 cents.

Tom.

 

[cbrue122]

Yeah, I was curious about that ebay o2 housing. It looks like a nice unit and is suprisingly made out of the expensive 321 stainless. The pictures also show some pretty good welds as well. But with that price it almost too good to be true, no?

 

[siceclipse]

Hey Tom,
Did you recieve that o2 yet?
i was wondering how it looks, and mounts up.
Just want to make sure the flanges match and the holes line up.

Let us know.

 

[Artago]

I haven't put it on yet because my car in the shop getting a built 7-bolt put in . But I should get the car back on Friday and I'll be putting it on after that. If you stay tuned to this thread I can post the results once I get it on. Hopefully sometime next week.

I got that same o2 housing from ebay. Works great. Fit perfectly as well. I have it mated up to a megan racing 3" downpipe. Looks great. For the price I don't think it can be beat!
I have had it on my car for around 1000 miles now with zero problems.

 

[illegal99si]

id suggest lookin into a dejontool o2 housing they work great

 

[DGajre777]

I'd go with Punishment Racing, they have awesome customer service.

Ok so there have been a couple of questions regarding the eBay O2 housing (which I purchased) so I figure I'd give you all the info you need.
First of all I bought the eBay O2 housing, eBay 3" Downpipe (dirt cheap), and V-Trim turbo (not from eBay ).
My car is in the shop right now getting a built 7-bolt put in so I can't put all these parts on yet . But I can bolt them to each other and take pictures for you all . So that's what I did.

At first I didn't think that the holes lined up between the O2 housing and the turbo and downpipe . However, after I put the bolts in I realized that the O2 housing holes are quite a bit bigger then the thickness of the bolts. This gave it enough room to play so that the whole thing bolted up beautifully. In the end everything bolted up nice. See pictures below.

However I can not confirm or deny the fitments of the parts on the car because I don't get it back until next week (but when I get it back and install all the parts then I'll give you all an update).

Enjoy the pictures:

That eBay o2 looks "IDENTICAL" to my Megan, hmmm.

I'm happy with my Megan o2 housing, no complaints and that was an *upgrade* from my punishment racing o2 dump... I was getting too much attention from the cops

well then I rather pay $39.95 for the ebay one then $139.99 for the megan racing one if they are pretty much the same

My thoughts exactly. I also got the Downpipe for like $70. It's a nice unit also. Tom.

I bought an ebay o2 housing that claimed to be 3" but it was barely 2.5". I still like it, mine is an o2 dump.

It's 2.5". But I asked the guy before I bought it and he told me it was 2.5". So I knew what I was getting. Tom.
