4 wire O2 sensor conversion

[carotman]

I was reading this article on www.ludespeed.com

The Prelude uses 2 O2 sensors just like our Accords do (88-89 EFI)

The guy replaced both sensors with a single 4 sire one and it seems to have worked.

Anyone attempted this?


I'm doing the B20A swap and the JDM exhaust manifold only uses 1 O2 sensor. I planned to drill another hole to install a second sensor but it looks like this is going to save me some bucks and time.

Any thoughts?

I was told from Autometer that I should buy their $120 O2 sensor conversion from a 1 wire to a 4 wire. He said it was more accurate. It sure sounds like it would work though.

well part of it is the preheater right?

[carotman]

yup 2 wires are for th pre-heater.
1 is the sensor signal, the other is the ground.

My main concern was to hook-up the 2 wires from our O2 sensors to only 1 on the 4 wire system.

Didn't sean talk about this long long time ago.

does anyone know how much current the heated part draws?

Yeah sean mentioned that back when the board was hosted on EZ-Board..

I always thought I would need 2 O2 sensors, but if I can use the B20A exhaust manifold without drilling or modding anything, I would prefer to go that route. It might even be ok in the stock location.
