O2 sensor preference

Sir Boost-a-Lot
Unable to find a definitive answer to my question through a forum search, I?ll ask what has likely already been asked many times over:

What is the best O2 sensor for my Syclone?

For turbo Dodges the answer was NTK hands down as Bosch units tend to burn up rather quickly under high boost and higher EGTs. Unfortunately, I don?t see a listing for a Syclone NTK O2 sensor, so I?m stumped.

Though I am stock for now, I want something that will hold up under a higher horsepower street/strip setup in the future.

Thanks for your help.

Re: O2 sensor preference

Stock a/c delco's are best IMHO.

I've numerous problems with the aftermarket heated o2's

Re: O2 sensor preference

I ran the AutoZone black-box with red letters "BOSCH" O2 sensor ($48 USD) with good luck at 20-23 PSI on pump gas with alcohol, I guess your mileage may vary.. I have since pulled the sensor and replaced it completely, with my PLX M-300 Wideband with Narrowband Output feature, also featuring a BOSCH sensor ironically. (Although a wideband one).

How much more $ are the ACDelco stock replacement ones than the Bosch?

The AC Delco is $128 at the local dealer.:tdown:

Your wideband setup sounds like a way to kill 2 birds with one stone. Does the narrow band output work with stock electronics or are there other mods necessary? Where is a good place to pick one up? Thanks.

I got the PLX M-300 from Eric at www.BNECustoms.com. I beleive he may give a discount to SyTy.net members so you could try asking for the SYTY Discount. (No promises).

The narrow band output works flawlessly for me with the stock electronics. It is a time consuming install but there are no HIDDEN CATCHES that nobody ever tells you about until you're in the middle of the install saying "oh shit", like so many other SyTy mods.. :roll:

There is a thread on how to do the wiring by "mrweelr" in the Tuning/Chipping section.

Is it easy to add a round, say 2-1/16" or whatever size, gauge output? Any idea which ones might work? Thanks.

Re: O2 sensor preference

i always liked the ngk when i had it on my first sy. i'm surprised to find some people don't like em. i never had any luck with their plugs though. best plugs i like were autolite. not surprised some guys like the gm unit. gm makes some good parts. just don't buy them at the dealer...

Haha. Yeah, I think those will probably work. ;)

How easily can the wideband output be input into a laptop via Datamaster?

JayLo, not to be a "search-Nazi" :D But this is all the help I can provide you on the subject.. These issues have been covered dozens of times and all the information is out there if you search for it. Browsing the first few pages of the chipping/tuning forum http://www.syty.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22 will probably provide your answer rather quickly.

Good luck! :cool:
