updae with pics when its done dude.

UPDATE.. WENT AWFUL.  The top 02 snesors threads were melted to teh header.  Thus i have two shot 02 sensors.  i need to order two.  Wont be here till modnay.  unless someon e had a crfoss reference that i can get at the auto zone.  Thnaks.

Not knokcing ya Rako, but the header is done, the chinese manufacturing is backed up, not just us but all across the board, its that time of year.  But even if i went and spent 4-500 dollars on a new header that was made for my car, i would still have two broken 02 sensors.  so i spent $100 on a header for an 06 spec, 160 on 02 sensors which you cannot equate, and then $100 on labor and other parts, so i mean the math is there.  Im still cheaper here.  Plus to all the poepl that gutted their stock manifolds, there is still turbulent atmospheric elements which inhibit flow and the fact that they cost $7500 menas i may be able to sell my good one to someone that needs it for a G sometime.  at any rate yeah shit happens, im jsut pissed cuz i left my work celly, both my celly chargers, and my contact solution in the damn car.  its a half hour away.  But definately RAKO props to you, i can see how this shit hits your pocket.  Im happy the 02 sensors werent crazy expensive like ive seen some before hand.  But i did buy a new Smith and Wesson M4 today, strapped with a red dot and front grip WOOOOOT.

so what are the chances that you'll destroy 2 more o2 sensors?

The problem was that the heat from the catalystic converter between the head and the cats, was so great it caused the threads to melt thus making it impossible to remove them without damage.  The one was so brittle from the damage the removal caused the ceramic sensor to crack and fall away. The new install will have WAY LESS heat.   A cat can flash at 2300 f a rough run can go anywhere between 1000-1800 degrees, thus a free night light brought to you by the proud engineers at nissan, where more value equals a bigger pain in the ass.

eh balls, i really wish someone would have showed me this earlier, i can easily log this my self with a multi meter that has frequency, or whatever that mode is.  Zbut it does measure frequency.  Blahf Thnaks  Im actually gonna just go get universal ones form the zone tomarrow (heatd of course) THEYRE $75 A PIECE and i dont have to wait.  According to bosh blue wire is signal, black WIRES are heater, and white is ground.  Correct?

Fuck the car I want to hear more about your new M4...

How much did this cost?


What optic do you have one it?

yeah its jsut htat these sensors arent working, i dont think they are wideband.  which is ghey. anyone know  sensor i can get that works besides goin to the dealership that i may be able to pickup

eh fuck me running, i wish tehre was a parts supplier around here i could just go to. i live in ne ohio.

just let er go... cant tune w/o a wideband to even see where ur at on the a/f scale.  so it'll help to safc2 + wideband the car to gain like 6-10whp on it (thats what the b15 gained, prolly more for us) but $500 + dyno could be pricey.

id buy it if u plan on boosting down the road anyways.... ud be SUBTRACTING fuel as nissan likes to make it piggishly rich, in the 10-11afr stock, which n/a u can run to 13.7, prolly gain 10-15whp on that tune and make the header like a 25whp mod.  200whp should be easy w/ I/H/E/TUNE on this car, VERY EASY considering i was at 186 w/ crank pulley  + 2.5" exhaust.

Sweet.

So do chicks that ya nail when yer as desperate as I was

thats a b15 header you made fit? nice

Oh man that's not too bad, get some sound clips up NOW!!

Also how much are they looking for one of these bad boys?

Do you have a CEL?

What size runners and collector did it use?

Give us the skinny.

you guys and you're wacky 02 sensors.

worked out good

I probalby gotta say the thing that pushed me to do this was seeing Rako, MajorMods, and all the people with blown up cars.  Im glad i have half a brain to figure out that cylinder offset.

  I meant you for busting your ass, Major for the turbo, and all the poeple with blown up cars

Come on man get them clips and more pics, we need to see it, and when can we get one?

I for one, if I don't trade in my car will be interested in spending a fair amount of money on my car.

ballin does it feel faster like we should do this instead of wait

If there was a way to tune this, it would have a much greater effect.  I alos think there are more bugs to work out.  The power band is very linear.  I dont know if its faster cuz I lost alot of tourque with my whole exhaust setup.  ive got the header, megan 2.5 mid pipe and axle back.  To do this all you need is bungs and a shop to weld the header to your piping or make a new custom j pipe.  This problems that i had and maybe still have, is the stock manifold, mated cylinder 1+4 and 2+3 and measured two seperate groupings.  I put the one sensor in cylinder '1' and one sensor in cylinder '2'.  I dont know if not having the other two cylinders in play with the flow is going to matter.  Not so much as flow but 02 readings.    Um definately needs some timing pulled.  I got some cels in like 50 miles of driving but i couldnt tell what they were cuz the scanners i tried to use dont work with the car.  it ran fine but idle is jumpy but thats to be expected.  the problem is the header i used almost groups all four cylinders to one area.  Liek i had said before i had the 02 on cylinder 1 and 4 and i couldnt drive the car for the life of me.  so im afraid of putting them towards the flange that they may read all four and jsut be a nightmare.  For thsi to work properly they are going to have to be 4-2-1 to be sure.

lol wtf?
