O2 sensor questions

[Duece McCracken]

So im in the process of a 14b swap on my 95 talon.

When I removed the old o2 sensor on the 14b's o2 housing(which was a giant PITA even with a torch and my giant self trying to remove it), it came out with mauled threads, which is why it was such a pain.

I now how a few options.

1. Just be a dick and thread in my pristine new o2 sensor and hope for the best.

2. Replace the O2 housing

3. Thread chase/re-tap it and hope for the best.

I want to do #3, but i have no clue what the thread size is for an O2 sensor.

Anyone know it?

Any other suggestions?

The 2g o2 housing is larger than the 1g.So you should be using that one instead of the one that came off the 14b.

Does that help with your situation?

Find a housing cheap enough on ebay, or classifieds, and be done with it.

Its all bolted up in the car, and I ported it. So there's time invested.

I do have a 2g from the t25.

Hmmm.

Knowing that thread size would be a determining factor.

It may work or may not, you can buy a evo one, nice over everything else, stripped threads could be a problem with exhaust leaks.

Carefull buying the evo o2 housing the angle is different then most downpipes.

I never owned one, my ported 2g was cheap on ebay for the talon but the 2g has a custom set up forgot the brand its project car.

Yep this is true! The evo housing has a different angle then a 2g. But as for the problem, I would just buy a different housing and call it done. You are going to just invest more time trying to fix you current one, when a good used one could be purchased for so cheap!

Should be able to find a used stock 2g o2 housing or check local dsm shop I am sure they have one.Plus all stock 2g exhaust manifolds and o2 housing can handle some power.

Interesting.

I would still like to know what thread size an o2 sensor is if anybody knows it.

Maybe i should call an exhaust shop or something.

Or if you have a tap and die set, it usually has a set of thread finders in it. If you don't, then take the housing with the good threads to a hardware store and just find a bolt that fits. Then buy that size tap!
