O2 sensor replacement

[Ian91]

Hi folks,

I pulled out my O2 sensor when I replaced my dump pipe and noticed it is looking pretty old and shitty. Figured it could be partly why I never got over 400km to a tank and the rear of my car looks like a diesel lol.

Question is. Where can I buy a standard replacement sensor? I figure it'll be a million bucks from mitsubishi, any one got a source for good aftermarket ones?

Cheers

I got mine from autobarn, surprisingly cheaper then all the other car shops I went to.

True story, I'll swing around the auto shops tomorrow and have a look. For some reason I thought it would be a special thing those places wouldn't have.

Thanks mate

Mine is a 2 wire. I found my local auto pro had one for $60

Gsr and Evo are 2 wire he is getting confused with a VR4 which have 4 wires from memory.

No all vr4 were multiple wires. The early j specs were only one wire- they dont ore heat

So how do people find the aftermarket o2 sensors?
I know with my old gtir, aftermarket sensors were a big no-no and caused no end of problems

 

[Ian91]

Mine already had an aftermarket one in and I didn't have any issues besides bad fuel economy ( that may not even be related ). The reason I replaced it was because it looked old so figured I'd change it while it's out

Put in a wbo2, dont look back. I have a innovate mtx-l. Less than $200

Do you have a link to where you get these under $200? Cheapest I could find was street fx and Motorsport for $259 but they are out of stock and dunno when they will replenish them. Next best was Amazon.com at about $260 and will arrive mid to late this month :/

I got mine when the $ was much stronger. Maybe that was a difference. Ebay is now $300, so 260 sounds not bad.

maybe it was $300....cant remember now.

I replaced mine a while ago, before I got wideband, and used a generic NGK two wire job from Repco. It was all good mate.
