Hi guys,

My car came with Tomei air fuel gauge from Japan, and the wiring was a little dodgy. I have disconnected the gauge and now just want to reconnect the o2 sensor to the factor wiring loom. Can anyone tell me which goes to which? The idle is a little unstable and I've switch o2 sensor off on the hand controller (apexi) cause the o2 sensor isnt connected. The three chords coming from the left of pic is from wiring loom, I'm not sure if this has been tampered with to adapt the gauge, there is four (black, grey, white x 2) coming from from the 02 sensor.

Thanks

I want to know this as well as my car has a tomei a/f gauge as well and my o2 sensor is also disconnected.

MATIXX: The sensor you have pictured is not factory and is IMO a wide band sensor, like mine with the four wires. I can not use mine I believe as a wide band cant be used with a factory ecu from what a few tuners have told me.

ok, so I've got to get a new oxygen sensor to be compatible with the wiring loom? I have power fc though so factory ecu doesnt affect me. The funny thing is with it all disconnected, when I select o2 on the function select it still seems to idle a little bit smoother? Does the rb25 have another form of 02 idle control I dont know about?

Cant help you with the idle control but if you have a power fc the wide band sensor should be able to work with it.

The wide band is better than the factory narrow band as it is a lot more accurate for tuning purposes. I assume you got the car with the fc already fitted.

      If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.

      Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
