Saw the pics of your SC,, sucks man, good luck with that!
Is everything else hooked up? mainly your seconds O2 sensor? been the topic of debate (re: extending it). How did you go about this??
Thanks

Isn't extending the O2 sensor the same as extending any wire? I thought you would just cut it, twist new wire around the old one so you can have it the length you need and tape it back together with electrical tape... I've never seen so much controversy over this..
02-08-2010
You want to solder and heat shrink the wires.
02-08-2010
No, it's not the same as any other wire. I quit arguing because it's so pointless on this forum anymore. I'll just say this: Do your own research before modifying an oxygen sensor or it's leads in any way. You'll find that modifying an O2 sensor is never recommended. Extending the harness, on the other hand, is just fine.
From the GM service manual:
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs
Tools Required
J 38125-D Terminal Repair Kit
Notice: Do not solder repairs under any circumstances as this could result in the air reference being obstructed.
If the heated oxygen sensor pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged the entire oxygen sensor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In order for the sensor to function properly it must have a clean air reference. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degrade oxygen sensor performance.

F*ck GM's service manual... im sure they would advise against porting blowers, EGR deletes etc etc... im gonna splice wire to make it longer... IF it has any negative effects ill break down and buy ZZP's O2 harness extender. who the hell needs a o2 sensor anyway. might just seal up the bolts in the bungs and get code deleted.

the point is that he is telling you to cut the wires on the HARNESS, not the o2 sensor. pay attention.

Then why the **** didn't he say that in the first place and avoid 3 pages of useless banter?
02-08-2010
Oh...

2001 2002 2003 GRAND PRIX GTP 3.8 SUPERCHARGER HEADERS : eBay Motors (item 180453467499 end time Mar-07-10 14:19:29 PST)
Can OP verify that these are the same headers? I skimmed through the posts but didn't find a link.
02-08-2010
Same headers.. These ones just have free shippig to the US, and basically include it into the price ($196), I bought the $151 ones cuz im in CAN and had to get them shipped ($100)
02-08-2010
Sweet.
For the sake of looking like a noob: can these be changed in my garage? Assuming all I have is an extensive socket set and torque wrench. Or will I have to lift the motor out?
02-08-2010
all can be done at home without pulling the engine.
02-08-2010
went back 3 pages and read every post... i see where he said extending the harness is ok.. i smoke too much bud, sorry.
