O2 Sensor Question

Just a quick question. I'm going to be running 1 O2 sensor on the dump pipe on my soon to be single turbo R32 GTR. The dump pipe is off an R33 GTR but will be modified to work on an R32 GTR. The bung that's on there is to suit an R33 GTR O2 sensor.

Can I buy an R33 GTR O2 sensor and fit it and have it plug and read correctly on my 32R? I'm going to be using an Apexi Power FC D Jetro for my ECU.

Thanks

yes BNR32 PowerFC is same PowerFC for BCNR33

the only difference is the 02 sensor type, as BNR32 from memory is titania, and BCNR33 is zirconia (forget which is which). Under ETC, FUNCTION SELECT you need to identify which one you have by setting 02 SENSOR REGISTER. read the powerfc in my signature to work out which one is which and set it and away you go. also make sure you duplicate the output signal to both 02 inputs on the PowerFC, ie make sure 02-1 and 02-2 under ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK have a working value

Forget the O2 all together.

Mine aren't even enabled... would get 500km/tank on the freeway given I managed 420km today and it was on 1/4 :)

Infact the GTSR doesnt have them enabled either and i can easily get 550km/tank on FWY and around 400 around town (bit lighter giving advantage there)

Thanks for the great info guys. I would prefer to have an O2 Sensor working in there tbh. Last question, how should I wire up both the cables so that both O2 signals get the same and accurate readings from the one O2 sensor to the ECU?

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
