just curious if anyone here has used these and if they are both included in the kit. BBK Performance Extracter Series - O2 Sensor Harness Extensions

I'm just going to lengthen the wires on my replacement O2 sensors for free. That's a chunk of money in the Sport's world.

If you need new sensors, you can buy them with longer wires. That is what I did.

What did you use Jerry? I was thinking about using the regular crimp connectors and shielding over it.

I soldered them, and used shielding... and I had some heat shield tubing that went over all of it near the header

I'll try to solder them. If it doesn't work, I can always crimp them. Thanks.

You can extend the O2 sensor wires in the harness (which I did) but not the wires on the O2 sensor. The wires in the harness are regular wires but the wires on the O2 sensor are special and should not be lengthened. If you do you'll ruin the calibration on the O2 sensor and it will not function properly.

Hmmmm, I never thought of that. Lengthening the harness is easy enough. Yes, I'll do it !!! Tomorrow.

I made extension harnesses out of old sensors and part of the cars harness from the junkyard

I'll pull the harness tomorrow,. That's an easy task. I'll first install the replacement O2 sensors and see how much wire needs to be added to the harness, then, make it happen.

I soldered my original ones a while ago and it worked,at least I thought they were original. Replaced them since then with longer ones.

Well you could.. but I think it will take the same amount of work to just lengthen the originals... your call on that one..

I'm also planning to get longer ones myself down the road sometime

I'm TRYING to get motivated to get out there. It's been a long week. I REALLY want to work on the car, but the TV and couch sure seem like a good idea as well. I'll go to work on the Sport. Probably wait til it's a hundred degrees.

I used the harness extension from summit.

I extended the harness because I have solder and wires in the garage that are *free* vs. paying for a harness extender. Besides I like playing with the soldering gun.

Same here, and I agree with you, soldering guns are fun. This Sunday after work I'll probably break out the stuff and extend the Sport's O2 harness.
