I got a brand new sensor (o2) for my front turbo or front oxygen sensor for my rb26. But after I pluged it in my d jectro power fc went to 5.12v on that channel, and the rear one was at 0.04v. After a while of idling the rear one warms up and starts to move up slowly, but the front one isn't moving at all.

Attached is the photo of the sensor I got brand new. And I'm lost as to why this is happening, all I can think of is there has to be two kinds of sensors for a gtr r32 rb26 motor. High to low or low to high voltage. Im just guessing here.

I would appreciate any help.

maybe incorrect setting on PFC perhaps

r32 titania & r33 zirconia, there's an option in r32/33 pfc to set which one is being used (o2 sensor reg), this needs to be on for R32 and off(+ sign) for R33 gtr

edit - explained

02 REG is needed for BNR32 owners
as the PFC unit for BNR32 and BCNR33 is the same unit but the BNR32 has titania 02 sensors and BCNR33 has normal 02 sensors.
the BNR32 needs to be set as registered to make them work as titania sensors properly. Otherwise with it off the PFC assumes they are BCNR33 style 02 sensors.
This is covered in the FAQ

apexi's official answer;
There is a difference in the O2 sensor for these vehicles. (With or without internal register)
After tuning, please check () "O2 SENSOR REGISTER" for BNR32, and NOT for BCNR33.
* It may be different if the O2 sensor is modified and/or changed.

Wow. Im lost now. Where do I find the with or without internal register feature. ???

I will look over the FAQ section and see if I find anything.

Whats a titania o2 sensor??.

And whats the right part numbers for a sensor of that type.?? If you have it. I think im running normal sensors right now. The voltage starts about 0.04 and as the car runs they go up slowly.

Can someone expain this in layman's term. Lol

:blink:

    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
